As a strong CEO who is believed to be an alien attempting to destroy Earth, her attire has been nothing short of elegant throughout the tour—think power dressing with a subtle edge. Like her character, Emma exuded mystery and authority, whether she was wearing a jacket with a skirt or playing with jewel tones and feminine draping.

As Bugonia prepares for its wider U.S. theatrical release, let’s take a look at Emma Stone’s most recent press tour looks. Each one exudes power, confidence, and that unmistakable Emma charm.

Vintage Glamour Revival: Donna Karan Satin Set & Manolo Blahnik Mules

Emma Stone brought a dose of late-1990s nostalgia when she arrived on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert. Her look instantly reminded me of Gwyneth Paltrow’s iconic outfit from the 1998 romantic drama Great Expectations.

She wore a lush olive-green satin set from Donna Karan’s Spring 1996 collection, which looked effortlessly chic and luxurious under the lights. The outfit featured a silky, buttonless blouse fastened only in the middle with a single delicate clasp, creating a deep V-neckline and an open front slit that showed off her decolletage and toned midriff.

Emma paired it with a matching low-rise maxi skirt that gently hugged her hips before falling to her ankles. I loved how fluid the silhouette looked as she walked. The fabric had a soft, glossy sheen that caught the light beautifully, giving the entire look a sense of effortless movement.

Finishing Touches: Soft Glamour and Manolo Blahnik “Susa” Mules

Stone kept her styling clean and unfussy, wearing her copper hair with an off-center parting and tucked behind her ears. Her makeup was soft and fresh, with a pink blush and lipstick that enhanced her warm complexion. She added sparkle to the look with the Arielle Ratner elongated “Nebula” ring in 18k yellow gold with a 4.01-carat diamond.

Keeping things edgy and sophisticated, Emma slipped into the black Manolo Blahnik “Susa” mules. Crafted in Italy from smooth leather, these mules featured slender crossover straps that framed her feet beautifully. I liked how the delicate design contrasted with the richness of her green ensemble, keeping the look balanced and refined.

Instead of the chunky heels seen on Paltrow’s original look, Emma went for fluted, kitten heels, adding just the right amount of height while maintaining that easy, relaxed ’90s vibe. You can get these sandals for $895 at Net-a-Porter.

Modern Minimalism: Louis Vuitton Sheer White Dress & Satin Sandals

At the New York premiere of Bugonia held at the Museum of Modern Art, Emma Stone showcased her signature understated elegance in a simple, gauzy white Louis Vuitton Spring 2026 dress. This look was far from the more dramatic, avant-garde gowns many would likely have picked for the setting.

Nevertheless, the dress matched Emma’s sleek, carefree, yet eye-catching aesthetic. It featured a fluid silhouette with dark gray seam lines that gave the dress a soft structure. The bustier sweetheart neckline, held in place by thin gray shoulder straps, framed her shoulders beautifully, while the lightweight, semi-sheer fabric added a dreamy, ethereal feel. It also showed a glimpse of her high-waisted blue underwear, giving the minimalist look a hint of boldness.

As she moved, the jellyfish-like ruffles at the hem flowed beautifully, making the dress seem weightless.

Subtle Radiance: Minimal Makeup, Diamond Drops, and Satin Sandals

Her beauty look stayed true to the ensemble’s understated vibe. She wore her auburn hair in a bun with soft bangs framing her face, while her makeup was natural and radiant, with a hint of lipstick, pink blush, and mascara to highlight her green eyes.

For jewelry, she kept things refined with the $3,300 Arielle Ratner Small Flora Drops in 18k yellow and white gold with 0.50 carats of diamonds, paired with her “Nebula” ring.

Although I was unable to get a good look at her shoes, Emma wore ivory satin open-toe sandals with thin, crisscrossing front straps. They were elegant, minimal, and perfectly in line with her gown’s soft allure.

Daytime Chic: Khaite Sweater, Maria McManus Lace Skirt & Aquazzura Pumps

Emma Stone brought a dose of sunshine to her Good Morning America appearance with a soft, elegant daytime look that perfectly combined polish and ease.

She wore a pale yellow Khaite “Davin” sweater top, made in Italy from cashmere. The sweater, $1,280 at Net-a-Porter, featured a ribbed neckline, hem, and cuffs with elbow-length sleeves, giving it that cozy yet refined feel. The soft butter yellow color alone was a refreshing touch for fall, adding warmth without being too bold.

She tucked the sweater into an $890 ivory Maria McManus lace bias skirt, which added a romantic twist to the outfit. The skirt was crafted from Japanese Naia Renew twill and finished with exquisite French Dentelle de Calais Caudry lace at the hem.

Emma layered a chic Gia Studios “Chantal” trench coat over the combination, giving the whole look an autumnal polish. She then carried her essentials in a Louis Vuitton Spring 2026 bag that matched the ensemble’s motif.

Polished Finishes: Retro Sunglasses and Aquazzura “Love Affair” Pumps

Her side-parted bob and pink makeup kept everything fresh and understated, while a pair of $455 oversized Garrett Leight “Broadway Sun” sunglasses added a cool, retro edge. For jewelry, she kept it classic with $7,500 Tiffany & Co. Knot Hoop earrings and a $1,450 matching ring.

To finish off her look, Emma slipped into a pair of Aquazzura “Love Affair” mesh pumps in a rich espresso-brown shade, echoing the color of her trench coat and sunglasses for a cohesive finish.

These Italian-made heels featured delicate see-through mesh panels trimmed with soft suede, with artfully sculpted sides that followed the natural curves of the foot. The design was elegant yet subtly daring, with pointed toes and slender buckled ankle straps. The 4-inch stiletto heels gave Emma just the right amount of height while maintaining that sleek, feminine line.

The mesh added a hint of sensuality, keeping the classic pump silhouette fresh and modern. You can get them for $895 at Farfetch and Mytheresa.
