Emma Stone’s night at the 2024 Oscars included an epic photobomb!

Apart from scoring her second Oscar in the Best Actress category for her work in Poor Things, Stone got a hilarious surprise from Charlize Theron, who photobombed her as she reapplied her lipstick at the Dolby Theatre.

The photo showed Theron smiling from ear to ear as she snuck up behind Stone. She shared the fun pic in an Instagram post on Thursday writing, “Made some new friends, partied with old friends, celebrated incredibly talented friends, got married. Busy week for me.”

The post also included photos of Theron with fellow past Oscar winners Michelle Yeoh, Jennifer Lawrence, Sally Field and Jessica Lange after presenting Stone with her award.

Stone’s night almost took a turn for the worst when she began her acceptance speech by sharing that her custom Louis Vuitton strapless gown had ripped.

“Oh boy, my dress is broken,” she said. “I think it happened during ‘I’m Just Ken.’ I’m pretty sure.”

After delivering a heartfelt speech that included a sweet nod to her daughter Louise Jean McCary, Stone told reporters backstage that she had been sewn back into her dress.

“Right when I came back, they sewed me back in, which was wonderful. I genuinely do think I busted it during, ‘I’m Just Ken.’ I was so amazed by Ryan and what he was doing, and that number just blew my mind. And I was right there, and I just was going for it, and, you know, things happen,” said Stone.

Theron had her own style moment at the Oscars as she walked the red carpet in a gorgeous silver Dior Haute Couture gown.

The Monster actress paired the elegant floor-length look with a slicked-back hairdo and Boucheron jewelry.

Last September, Theron told PEOPLE that she has “very few” red carpet outfits that she looks back at with regret.”

“I feel like there shouldn’t be any faux pas. I really feel like if you just go by how you feel and how much you love it, then it’s not a faux pas,” she said. “I mean, there are a lot of dresses that I know people didn’t like, but I’m like, I looked at myself in the mirror that night and I was feeling myself.”
