Emma Stone is dressed and ready for round three.
The two-time Oscar winner hit the Oscars 2026 red carpet at the Dolby Theatre on Sunday, wearing a shimmering, ethereal Louis Vuitton gown with cap sleeves and a plunging, open back.
The “Bugonia” actress, 37, wore her auburn hair sleek and delicately curled close to her chin, adding some sparkle to the look with a stack of matching diamond earrings and rings.
Stone is no stranger to the Oscars carpet; she accepted her first best actress win in 2017 in a gold beaded Givenchy couture gown and took home her second in 2024 wearing a mint green Louis Vuitton design with a seashell-inspired peplum.
Her last trip to the podium came with a memorable wardrobe malfunction when her zipper split on the way to the podium. “My dress is broken; I think it happened during ‘I’m Just Ken,’” she joked to the audience, blaming Ryan Gosling’s performance.
Tonight, she’s up for best actress for her role as a pharmaceutical CEO in the Yorgos Lanthimos-directed sci-fi thriller — her fourth collaboration with the filmmaker and her seventh Oscar nomination overall. That tally made her the youngest woman in Academy Award history to accumulate seven nods, surpassing Meryl Streep, who was 38 when she hit the same mark in 1988.
Stone shaved her head for the “Bugonia” role — and as her bob has grown back, stylist Petra Flannery has leaned into a season of quiet dressing to match.
At the Golden Globes in January, Stone walked the carpet in a butter yellow Louis Vuitton crop top with a beaded fringe skirt. She chose a black Louis Vuitton halter column gown at the BAFTAs and made a rare departure from the French house — for which she’s been an ambassador since 2017 — in a streamlined Calvin Klein Collection gown at the Producers Guild Awards.
At the SAG Actor Awards earlier this month, she turned a lilac beaded Louis Vuitton cardigan into the most glamorous layering piece of the season.
If Stone wins tonight — up against Jessie Buckley (“Hamnet”), Rose Byrne (“If I Had Legs I’d Kick You”), Kate Hudson (“Song Sung Blue”) and Renate Reinsve (“Sentimental Value”) — she’d join Frances McDormand as the only living woman with three best actress Oscars, behind only Katharine Hepburn’s record of four.
