I said it in June and I'll say it again: Celebrities are fatigued by white dresses. This summer, everyone from Hailey Bieber and Rihanna to Jennifer Lawrence and now, Emma Stone swapped the summer staple for an unseasonal little black dress (or two).
On August 27, Stone joined the mix at the Venice Film Festival, which until now, had been the ultimate white dress convention. Before a Bugonia photo-call, paparazzi captured Stone effortlessly disembarking a Venetian gondola. Thanks to stylist Petra Flannery, whom she's worked with for four Venice Film Festivals, Stone looked every bit a movie star in a halter-neck LBD. It felt right up Sophia Loren's alley, especially the straight-across bust and skintight skirt. An asymmetrical midi slip was the cherry on top of her Italian Riviera-ready dress. The floral lace overlay turned sheer around her mid-thigh.
