Emma Stone glittered on the red carpet in a custom Louis Vuitton gown at this year’s Oscars ceremony. The fully silver sequinned dress had been hand-embroidered in an effort that reportedly took over 600 hours to pull off. So this is a dress that is worth talking about.
With a square neckline, cap sleeves and an empire-cut, the dress itself was timeless, classic and perfectly understated, hugging Emma at the bust, waist and hips before falling into a beautiful, draped, straight skirt that pooled on the carpet.
A subtle, sleek and relatively simple design, this dress packed wow factor as Emma walked away, as the custom Louis Vuitton gown had a dramatic backless design which scooped down to the small of Emma’s back. Her minimalist accessories included dainty diamond huggies and a delicate ear cuff, just enough to complement the dress without drawing attention away from it.
