While her co-star, Ryan Gosling, focused intently on receiving direction for his next scene, Emma brought some playful energy to the set, reminding us why fans love her both on and off-screen.
She paired a green T-shirt with black jeans and her go-to green TOMS slip-ons—an effortlessly stylish yet functional choice for a long day on set.

TOMS: From “One for One” to a Lasting Fashion and Social Impact
At the time, TOMS was still best known for its pioneering “One for One” model, donating a pair of shoes to someone in need for every pair purchased. While the brand distributed nearly 100 million pairs worldwide, this approach later faced criticism from development experts who argued that it could undercut local shoemakers and foster dependency.
In response, TOMS evolved its mission. Today, instead of offering free shoe donations, the company allocates one-third of its profits to “grassroots good,” funding vetted nonprofit partners that focus on mental health, expanding access to opportunities, and ending gun violence. By shifting to cash grants and community-led initiatives, TOMS is now creating a more sustainable and lasting impact.
For Emma, slipping into those green canvas classics in 2015 captured exactly what the brand stood for: easy comfort with a conscience. Later, she layered on a plaid shirt, adding a relaxed, slightly grunge-inspired twist that felt as timeless as the brand itself.
From Emma Stone’s off-duty set style to Hilary Duff’s luxe collaborations, TOMS has proven its staying power as both a comfort staple and a conscious fashion choice. Beyond Hollywood moments, the brand continues to inspire shoppers and sustainability advocates alike.
