The American Film Institute paid tribute to veteran actress Diane Keaton at its 45th Life Achievement Award Gala, causing Hollywood stars to flock to the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles in order to celebrate Diane and her illustrious career. Among those stars were America’s sweethearts Reese Witherspoon and Emma Stone, who stepped out in chic outfits styled with black sandals.

The 41-year-old actress and entrepreneur may be keeping busy these days with her own clothing and lifestyle label, Draper James, but that doesn’t mean that she doesn’t have time to honor her acting inspirations. Last month, Reese attended the double star ceremony of Goldie Hawn and Kurt Russell at the Hollywood Walk of Fame, and she ensured she was present as well for Diane Keaton’s night.

Reese looked sophisticated in her black cady and chiffon mini dress from Miu Miu, which featured sheer long sleeves and contrasting white collar and cuffs. Reese styled the frock with tousled waves, dangling earrings and an assortment of rings. Black “Kelly” sandals (currently on sale at Net-A-Porter and Jimmy Choo) completed her simple yet chic look.

Emma Stone in a Loewe Fall 2017 dress and Stella Luna “Carioca” sandals

Meanwhile, Emma donned a fun and flirty ensemble with mixed hues and patterns at the star-studded event. For her red carpet appearance, she opted for a color-block dress from Loewe’s Fall 2017 collection, which featured a black and gold long-sleeved turtleneck top with a plaid panel at the waist. In addition, her dress had a pleated skirt with a slit detail and a black-and-red polka dot print. Emma toned down her chaotic dress with a simple pair of black “Carioca” sandals from Stella Luna.
