Emma Stone Masters Modern Minimalism In Custom Louis Vuitton At The BAFTAs
Last Updated:
Minimal jewellery, sharp tailoring and a bold cutout – Emma Stone’s Louis Vuitton look defines quiet luxury at the BAFTAs.
Emma Stone was styled by Petra Flannery.
While many red carpets rely on volume and sparkle, true impact often lies in restraint. At the BAFTA Film Awards, Emma Stone proved that a single, sharply executed idea can outshine an entire rack of theatrics. Her formula was deceptively simple: black, sculpted, custom. Nothing more, nothing less. And yet, it was impossible to look away.
Emma Stone stepped out in a custom creation by Louis Vuitton, cut in an inky black that felt both classic and cinematic. The halter neckline traced clean lines along the shoulders before dipping into a dramatic keyhole cutout at the torso – a bold architectural detail that introduced just the right amount of edge.
The neckline wrapped into a slender strap at the back, forming a subtle X-shape that framed her posture beautifully. From there, the silhouette elongated into a lean column skirt that pooled into a soft train, grazing the floor with quiet drama. As she walked, flashes of strappy heels peeked through, adding lightness to the otherwise streamlined look.
Styled by Petra Flannery, the styling echoed the gown’s discipline. Her hair was swept into a soft updo, with a few wisps left loose to frame her face. Makeup followed suit with precise black liner, luminous skin and a barely-there pink lip. Jewellery was kept to essentials. Diamond studs and a slim bracelet delivered polish without pulling focus. The message was clear: the dress leads, everything else supports. In an era of maximal accessorising, that restraint felt refreshingly modern.
Stone’s look carried the confidence of someone firmly in her awards-season stride. The custom couture didn’t shout for attention; it assumed it. That’s the magic of precision dressing. When the cut is right, the fabric luxurious, and the styling edited, the effect becomes timeless.
