Emma Stone brings an ethereal touch to the Oscars red carpet in a fully sequinned dress

Emma Stone attends the 98th Oscars at Dolby Theatre on March 15, 2026 in Hollywood, California.

Emma Stone glittered on the red carpet in a custom Louis Vuitton gown at this year’s Oscars ceremony. The fully silver sequinned dress had been hand-embroidered in an effort that reportedly took over 600 hours to pull off. So this is a dress that is worth talking about.

With a square neckline, cap sleeves and an empire-cut, the dress itself was timeless, classic and perfectly understated, hugging Emma at the bust, waist and hips before falling into a beautiful, draped, straight skirt that pooled on the carpet.

A subtle, sleek and relatively simple design, this dress packed wow factor as Emma walked away, as the custom Louis Vuitton gown had a dramatic backless design which scooped down to the small of Emma’s back. Her minimalist accessories included dainty diamond huggies and a delicate ear cuff, just enough to complement the dress without drawing attention away from it.

Recreate Emma Stone's Red Carpet Style

The super light, almost white, silver fabric of her dress hugged her frame so beautifully and draped down to pool elegantly around her feet. The fabric was so soft that it was almost molten.

While white is a timeless shade, Emma’s dress does play into the spring/summer fashion colour trends for 2026. Cloud hues are directional for the months ahead, particularly in fabrics that offer added dimension, such as satin and bouclé.

As we move into occasionwear season, Emma's fully sequinned gown can offer some excellent inspiration for wedding guests and even the bridal party, with embellishment details tapping nicely into the spring/summer fashion trends for 2026.

Emma's short bob was styled into romantic, bouncy waves as its length allowed the backless detail of her dress to shine. Her makeup felt similarly subtle, thanks to her sweet peachy lip, which is ideal for the warmer months ahead.
