Emma Stone’s 20 Best Red Carpet Style Moments Are a Lesson in Plunging Necklines

When you think of Emma Stone, you likely imagine scenes from some of her most memorable films, including Easy A, La La Land, The Help, and The Favourite. Of course, if you watched this year’s Golden Globes (or followed the night’s best fashion and beauty), you may very well be thinking about her show-stopping, silver naked dress. No matter what, one thing’s for sure: The Academy Award winner (who also just received her *fourth* Oscar nomination, for her performance in Poor Things) is just as strong at red carpet style as she is at acting. A Louis Vuitton girl through and through (though she sometimes has also embraced other designers), the actress has served countless memorable looks over the years, from naked dresses galore to fashion risks that paid off. To take a sweet stroll down memory lane, we’ve rounded up 20 of Emma Stone’s best style moments of all time—scroll on to see them all and get excited for all the sartorial wins she’s sure to have during the rest of awards season.

Golden Globe Awards (2024)

Stone took home a Golden Globe this year for Poor Things, but she also cemented herself as a red carpet winner when she arrived in a sheer, shimmering gown by Louis Vuitton. The deep V neckline and embroidered rose details gave the naked dress moment an elegant, romantic flair.

'Poor Things' New York Premiere (2023)

Embroidered naked dresses have been one of Stone’s go-to styles as of late. For the New York City premiere of Poor Things, she opted for another sheer Louis Vuitton gown—this time in soft buttery yellow, and featuring cutouts and rhinestone accents. In an unexpected move, she added a bejeweled floral, high-contrast black choker to the mix.

'Poor Things' UK Gala Screening (2023)

While some people with lighter skin tones may fear looking washed out in pastel colors, Stone knows how to make them work for her. For the UK premiere of Poor Things, the actress radiated fairytale glamour with her powder-blue Louis Vuitton ensemble. To take the elegant deep-V silk gown to the next level, a voluminous cornflower blue robe offered a Cinderella-inspired allure.

Met Gala (2022)

At the 2022 Met Gala, Stone looked every bit the ballerina in a mini, sleeveless Louis Vuitton number embellished with sheer straps, silk-covered buttons, and an embroidered hem that cascaded into whimsical feathers. If you’re thinking the look would make for a stunning wedding reception dress, you’re not alone—Stone actually wore this exact look to her wedding after-party before flaunting it on the first Monday in May.

Academy Awards (2019)

Stone looked as regal as ever on the 2019 Oscars red carpet when she wore this Nicolas Ghesquière-designed Louis Vuitton gown with structured shoulders. The beaded gown featured pearl and sequin embellishments and took over 700 hours to make.

Golden Globe Awards (2019)

While Stone has been gravitating towards naked dresses a lot lately, they're nothing new to her. Back in 2019, she wore this long-sleeved, bedazzled Louis Vuitton number to the Golden Globes, in which she was up for Best Actress in a Supporting Role for her performance in The Favourite.

Palm Springs International Film Festival Gala (2019)

While Stone typically sticks to neutrals and pastels, for the Palm Springs International Film Festival Gala in 2019, she opted for a triple punch of bold color. As you may have guessed, the silver, purple, and blue floral jumpsuit was by none other than Louis Vuitton.

British Independent Film Awards (2018)

Stone always looks stunning in red, despite not wearing it very often. At the British Independent Film Awards in 2018, she rocked a head-turning red sleeveless Louis Vuitton A-line dress with a plunging neckline and seamed bodice. Together with red lipstick and her signature hair color, the look had fiery, monochromatic vibes.

'The Favourite' UK Premiere (2018)

At the 2018 BFI London Film Festival, Stone looked every bit the royal in a fitted silver boatneck gown by Louis Vuitton. To add a hint of contrast to the bold metallic ensemble, she went with an oxblood lip.

'The Favourite' Venice Film Festival Screening (2018)

Emma Stone looked downright angelic at the 2018 Venice Film Festival's screening of The Favourite in a custom sheer Louis Vuitton gown featuring embroidered details. The look took on a more boho vibe than many of her other dresses.

Met Gala (2018)

Stone understood the assignment when it came to the 2018 Met Gala, which celebrated the theme "Heavenly Bodies: Fashion and the Catholic Imagination." While many took her gold-embellished navy blue gown to be more nautical, the goal of the Louis Vuitton gown was to look dripping in gold, which she definitely achieved.

Women in Film Celebration (2018)

While Stone tends to lean toward nude sheer gowns, for the 2018 Women in Film Celebration, she opted for a black beaded number from Givenchy's spring 2018 collection. She paired it with black pointed-toe pumps from the fashion house.

Governors Awards (2017)

Stone wowed in white at the Academy's 9th Annual Governors Awards in 2017, opting for a sleeveless, deep-V Louis Vuitton gown. Complete with myriad pockets, buckles, and clasps, it had a utilitarian-chic essence.

'Battle of the Sexes' European Premiere (2017)

Stone had the sweetest style at the European premiere of Battle of the Sexes, in which she played Billie Jean King. She wore an open-shoulder, ruffle-sleeved, floral-embroidered Louis Vuitton gown, and we love how a simple yet romantic updo hairstyle allowed the vintage-inspired look to take center stage.

Golden Globes (2017)

Stone stunned like the star she is at the 2017 Golden Globes, in which she wore one of her first near-naked dresses to take home a Best Actress award for her performance in La La Land. Valentino was behind her show-stopping ensemble, which felt perfect for awards season and undeniably is one of her most memorable.

Academy Awards (2017)

For the 2017 Oscars—the night she'd take home her Best Actress award—Stone opted to match her imminent trophy in radiant, intricate gold. She wore a sheer, fringe-accented lace Givenchy Haute Couture gown designed by Riccardo Tisci, and we can't stop staring at the details.

Golden Globes (2015)

Stone was up for Best Supporting Actress for her role in Birdman when she attended the 2015 Golden Globes in this luxe Lanvin jumpsuit. One detail that made her ensemble stand out was the waist-tied black chiffon train, which added a layer of complexity to her unexpected ensemble. It all goes to show that creative styling is everything when it comes to crafting a winning look.

Academy Awards (2015)

Some call it gold, while others speculate that it's chartreuse: In either event, Stone looked positively show-stopping in this long-sleeve Elie Saab gown, which she wore to the Oscars in 2015.

Met Gala (2014)

Taylor Swift’s orange and fuchsia Grammys dress from 2016 may have gone down in history, but Stone—who is a close friend of the singer—wore the two-piece trend first at the 2014 Met Gala. Here, she rocked Thakoon separates in two shades of pink, topping off the look with an of-the-moment fishtail braid.

Academy Awards (2012)

Here's further proof that Stone knows exactly how to pull off a red look. This Giambattista Valli couture dress, which she wore to the 2012 Oscars when she was just 23, mostly sticks to an elegantly classic silhouette but stands out with a voluminous ribboned detail at the shoulder.
