Emma Stone wore a pale seafoam green Louis Vuitton for her surprise Oscar win

Once I saw Poor Things, I understood why Emma Stone was suddenly making this huge awards-season surge, and why she was getting more awards heat than Lily Gladstone. While Lily’s performance in Killers of the Flower Moon was quietly powerful, she was ill served by the script and direction, whereas Poor Things was basically a showcase for Emma Stone’s talent, and Emma made a meal out of that role. All of which to say, I had a feeling that Emma would pull it out and she did. She won her second Best Actress Oscar in seven years. What a night! Reportedly, Emma had been lovely to her fellow Best Actress nominees and she sent them gifts and talked them up in interviews, especially Lily.

There’s some debate about whether Emma actually wanted to win and whether she thought she would win. I doubt she thought she would win, but she did campaign and she’s enormously proud of Poor Things, not just as an actress, but as a producer on the film. Emma’s Oscar look was pretty simple – a pale seafoam green Louis Vuitton with an oversized peplum. Simple styling too – hair down, stud earrings, simple necklace, not a lot of drama. Considering the tragic LV looks she’s worn at other awards shows, I consider this a win across the board. Also: she walked the carpet briefly with her husband Dave McCary! They are rarely photographed together.

Other notable celebrities in Louis Vuitton at the Oscars – Colman Domingo & Cynthia Erivo. They both kind of killed it? Colman has been, hands down, the best dressed of the awards season.
