Emma Stone's Eclectic Red Carpet Style Remains Impossible to Pin Down

Share post:


From Telluride to Toronto, Venice to Cannes, and back again, Emma Stone traverses the film festivals with a red carpet style that’s impossible to define. Over the years, wearing everything from demure Roland Mouret tea-length dresses to daring Prada designs, the actress has kept her audience on their toes. She sports childlike headbands just as well as all-too-adult thigh-high splits; and from Birdman to La La Land, Poor Things to Disney’s Cruella, her ability to wear just about anything is a talent that also defines her choice of film.

Recent years have seen the star favoring a variety of looks from Louis Vuitton (in 2017 she was named an ambassador for the luxury house). But she still makes it a point to shape-shift her style a bit when showing up at a premiere, fashion show, or even just out and about with brands like The Row and the occasional vintage pull. Now, in honor of Stone’s 36th birthday, a look back at the two-time Oscar-winning actor’s best looks on and off the carpet.
