Look carefully at Emma Stone’s Poor Issues promo wardrobe and also you’ll see little nods to Bella Baxter—a uniquely particular character that might nicely see the actor bag her second Oscar. “We needed to maintain Emma, Emma,” says her longtime stylist, Petra Flannery, “however present her affinity with the character and Bella’s spirit.” Ornate brooches and pins detailed with “BB” have punctuated her customized Louis Vuitton wardrobe, whereas the colour palette has blurred from black and white to the saturated colours and eccentric pastels in Yorgos Lanthimos’s Frankenstein-adjacent epic. Stone’s BAFTAs costume and her British Vogue Style and Movie social gathering look are the newest homages to return out of Nicolas Ghesquière’s imaginative atelier.

For the detail-obsessed artistic director, who, like Flannery, wolfed up the Poor Issues references, no thought was too obscure to show right into a style assertion. The levity and whimsy of Bella’s interval costumes are mirrored within the sheer underlay of Stone’s peachy BAFTAs red-carpet look: a “incredible” one-shoulder prime rendered in contrasting silk jacquard and a clear textured chiffon skirt that includes a quilted band to shine issues off. Crew Stone has had the look in thoughts for some time, as a result of it felt pitch good for the BAFTAs—a setting which requires further “aptitude” and “drama.” “Diaphanous is how we began off the Poor Issues tour [Stone wore a pearlescent pale blue take on the slip with a fabulous ruffly robe shrugged over the top to the London premiere], and this felt so sleek for a fantastic [BAFTAs] stage.”
