Here are some photos of Emma Stone in Venice, at the photocall and premiere of Bugonia. This is her latest collaboration with Yorgos Lanthimos, who directed Emma in The Favourite and Poor Things (which won Emma her second Best Actress Oscar). Bugonia looks like a trip, and it’s so funny that Emma’s favorite director/collaborator is so offbeat and art-house.
Anyway, for both the photocall and premiere, Emma wore Louis Vuitton. The white dress is the premiere look, the black dress is for the photocall. I actually love the photocall look – it reminds me of the slipdresses which were so popular back in the day. The other LV… eh. I’m not wild about this ambassadorship and I feel like Emma is in a style rut because of LV, but it is what it is. The exaggerated peplum wouldn’t have been my call, but again, not my circus, not my clowns. At least her hair looks super-cute.
Just before the premiere, Focus released the trailer for Bugonia, and this is our first sighting of Bald Emma Stone. LOL… just from the trailer, I think she’s going to get another Oscar nom.

Much more in favor of the premier look: Emma’s face/body/style is so well suited to a 30’s and 40’s Art Deco look, and since she has Noted Kook tendencies, it brings nice personality. The premier look is boring as hell, and if there’s one thing I resent about some actors, it’s a boring or repetitive look (ahem, Renee!). You’re supposed to be ARTISTS; dress like you are!
Absolutely hated Poor Things.
This obsession with YL is creepy af.
I liked it. Kept me engaged the entire movie, which is incredibly difficult to do.
I thought Poor Things was incredible. Also, why creepy? Leonardo Dicaprio and Robert De Niro constantly work with Scorsese and no one calls that creepy. Or Michael Cain working with Christopher Nolan. Or Michael B. Jordan with Ryan Coogler. But because Emma is a woman it’s creepy?
Perhaps FAFO is speaking to the thread of sexuality in Lanthimos work & how it becomes more focused on female characters w/ each project. In The Lobster (which I liked), it seemed equally split between male/female characters. I noticed w/ Poor Things it was mostly centered on the female lead. I couldn’t muster up any interest in viewing Kinds of Kindness, so someone else will have to weigh in on that one. Bugonia’s trailer looks interesting.
…
The narrative of sexuality is not evidenced for the male actor/director collaborations listed above.
Thank you, @emcee3. The exploitation and leering narrative were sickening. A lot of scenes felt gratuitous and pointless. There was no female empowerment in that film.
And @kristen I do take issue with the Scorsese-De Caprio partnership, but I have issues with either in general and don’t watch their collaborative films. Its not about misogyny so save your performative outrage.
That potato sack dress wouldn’t work on most, but she pulls it off.
The peplum dress washes her out. I wish it’d been done in a color.
The wide-cut halter neckline is flattering.
I used to love her but I’ve hated everything she has been in lately. It’s like she has lost the plot and only want to be in weird, horrible stuff just for the sake of being weird and artsy.
Her hair is so bad right now. I have only seen one film by this dude, and I was not impressed.
I find that Emma always has dresses on that I think are flattering for her, but wish they were in a different color. The light color washes her out. I wish she’d wear things with colors that warm her up, instead of making her look paler.
