The dress was crafted from a single piece of twisted, fringed gold lamé chiffon, making it incredibly delicate.

By the time Amanda got to the interview portion of the red carpet, she was ready to ditch her dress entirely.

"It keeps breaking. I'm not kidding, it keeps ripping. It's actually like breaking," Amanda said during an interview with Access Hollywood.

Later in the night, Amanda took the stage to accept an award — and at one point could be seen gripping the back of her dress.
