Emma Stone’s white Louis Vuitton gown was the ultimate Oscars showstopper

Emma Stone turned heads on the red carpet at the 98th Academy Awards, dazzling in a shimmering white gown that revealed an unexpected and striking detail from the back.

The Academy Award winner arrived at the ceremony held at the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood wearing a custom design by Louis Vuitton. 

The hand-embroidered empire-cut gown featured delicate cap sleeves and a modest square neckline in the front. 

From behind, however, the look transformed into a daring fashion moment with a dramatically low back that added a bold edge to the elegant design.

Stone complemented the gown with beauty products from Louis Vuitton, wearing the brand’s Ombres Eyeshadow palette in Beige Memento and Rouge lipstick in Passport to Paris. 

Her signature copper bob was styled with a deep side part and softly curled ends, giving the look a glamorous finish.

The actress attended the ceremony as a Best Actress nominee for her role in Bugonia. 

With the nomination, Stone became the youngest woman ever to reach seven Oscar nominations across her career, surpassing a milestone previously set by Meryl Streep.

Stone previously won Best Actress for La La Land and Poor Things. She also earned nominations for Birdman and The Favourite, while receiving a Best Picture nomination as a producer on Poor Things.

Earlier this year, Stone expressed gratitude for the recognition following her latest nomination, thanking director Yorgos Lanthimos and co-star Jesse Plemons for their collaboration on Bugonia.

The actress has been a standout throughout the 2026 awards season.
