We cycle through to the 2012 Birdman premiere, where Stone opted for a black tulle Valentino gown. Her hair stylist, Mara Roszak (responsible now for her coiffed pixie cut) had just given her a fresh bob, for her first appearance at the Venice Film Festival. “That experience shifted my relationship to films that I’ve wanted to be part of,” she shares. “My instinct is to choose high-wire acts.”
Next came the 2015 Oscars, in a sparkling, chartreuse Elie Saab gown with Tiffany & Co. cuffs tacked to the sleeves. “Some might call [the color] putrid, but not us—we love it,” she says.
We then come upon her November 2016 Vogue cover, photographed by Mert Alas and Marcus Piggot, where Stone sports a chic little pixie and a cropped Michael Kors Breton stripe shirt, to promote La La Land.
She reminisces over some of her greatest hits on screen: costume designer Mary Zophres’s joyous, primary-colored looks for her character Mia Dolan in La La Land, as Abigail in The Favorite styled by the formidable Sally Field–on a corset: “I can confirm it shifts your organs”—as as the chaotically dressed Bella Baxter in Poor Things, crafted by Holly Waddingham.
More red carpet moments include the sparkly, fringed Givenchy gown for the 2017 Oscars, her “Heavenly Bodies” Louis Vuitton look at the 2018 Met Gala, and the 2019 Oscars, where her custom bronze LV dress got meme-ified as a waffle: “Well waffles are my favorite food, so you got got,” she says.
Saturday Night Live is where Stone met her husband, and it’s the stage she loves most. Of course, in the show’s anniversary year, she had to don the campiest dress possible: a cinema seat red Louis Vuitton dress with pockets into which she piled popcorn, devised with Nicolas Ghesquière over text. Grab your own sweet or salty treat, and dive into Emma Stone’s equal parts stunning and silly life in looks.
