Emma Stone brought two popular trends to the red carpet on Sunday for the Oscars in Los Angeles.
The Academy Award-winning actress sported a custom strapless gown by Louis Vuitton. Stone’s mint frock also featured corsetry, a mermaid silhouette and peplum at the waistline. She accessorized with matching pumps and a yellow sapphire necklace.
Stylist Petra Flannery dressed Stone for the occasion. Flannery’s other A-list clients include Reese Witherspoon, Claire Danes and Ellen Pompeo.
Stone’s auburn tresses were styled in waves, while her makeup consisted of smoked-out eyeliner and a muted pink lip.
After last taking off in the 2010s, peplum has made a triumphant comeback this year. Labels including Prabal Gurung, Alexander McQueen and Cecilie Bahnsen experimented with flared fabrics during the spring 2024 season.
Pastel hues are also poised for popularity in 2024 as the “coquette” trend takes hold. The aesthetic is characterized by pale colors, full skirts, lace and florals, with designers including Simone Rocha, Richard Quinn and Valentino embracing feminine flairs.
The 96th Academy Awards is the most highly anticipated awards show of the year. Jimmy Kimmel returns to host the Oscars for the fourth time. All five Best Original Song nominees will perform live during the ceremony, including renditions of “I’m Just Ken” featuring Ryan Gosling, “What Was I Made For” by Billie Eilish, Becky G’s performance of “The Fire Inside,” “It Never Went Away” by Jon Batiste, and a performance of “Wahzhazhe (A Song For My People)” by Scott George featuring the Osage Singers.
