Oscar-winner Emma Stone celebrates her 34th birthday today! She rules every red carpet she walks on & offers fresh, playful, & sophisticated style with every appearance. She’s plays with colors, patterns, & textures, as well as vintage & menswear inspiration, always with killer accessories & shoes. For today’s fashion flashback, I could go on & on about Emma’s style & films, especially since La La Land ranks highly in my opinion; however, taking a moment to examine her gorgeous separates looks, pantsuits, jumpsuits, jeans outfits, & more provide plenty of style inspiration for the upcoming holiday season!
Jessica Chastain has certainly been the it-girl of Hollywood this year, especially following her well-deserved Oscar nomination for her supporting role in The Help. The redheaded beauty is featured on four covers for W magazine, showing just how it is that “art meets fashion”through the eyes of four very different & well-respected artists. This list includes abstract expressionist George Condo, portraitist Rineke Dijkstra, painter Chantal Joffe, & collage artist Mickalene Thomas. Thanks to an email from Styleite, I might have missed this quartet of very beautiful photos for Cover Craze.
You may not know who Jessica Chastain is now, or maybe you recognize the fair redhead from a few recent red carpet events, but after this year’s whopping seven movies starring the California native, you’ll definitely be seeing a lot more of her! Since May of this year, the actress has been seen everywhere all summer long, promoting films like The Help, The Debt& The Tree of Life. Some of her co-stars include very high profile names like Brad Pitt, Ralph Fiennes, Al Pacino, & Gerard Butler.
During her various appearances at press events, screenings, & premieres, we see how her ladylike red carpet looks are helping catapult her into further stardom. First Jessica plays with structure in a single sleeved teal Roland Mouret dress with a small neon green patch at the waste, perfect for posing on the red carpet. Obviously a fan of the designer, she wears Roland Mouret again, but this time in a muted gray / dusty blue dress with pewter sandals by Dana Davis. At the annual luncheon given by the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, she turned up the style in a lacey Emilio Pucci dress with black satin peep toe pumps. The girl knows her color palette, as this bright cobalt really highlights her flawless skin & radiant hair. At the premiere of The Help, she choose one of fall’s biggest trends: jewel tones. In a ruched sweetheart Oscar de la Renta gown, metallic Jimmy Choo shoes, & drop turquoise earrings, she came pretty close to stealing attention away from the film’s star, Emma Stone.
She keeps its demure, but regal in a navy wrap dress by Doo.Ri at an In Style event, also wearing feathered earrings & patent Christian Louboutin pumps. At the New York City screening of The Debt, she lightened up her look with a soft robin’s egg blue tiered dress by Christian Dior, Harry Winston diamonds, & nude Louboutins. Part of what I love about this look, aside from the dess, is her smoky shadow, which makes this even more sultry & Old Hollywood. Even when she’s not attending an official press event, she looks every bit a movie star. The papparazzi caught her making a coffee run in a classic polka dot Dolce & Gabbana dress with Louboutin slingbacks, a tan cardigan, & square-framed shades. Most recently, at a press conference for The Tree of Life in Beverly Hills, Jessica played up a 50s inspired lavender sheath with neutral strappy sandals & hoop earrings.
Take a look at these above stills from some of this year’s must-see movies, as well as a video clip below of Jessica attending the 2011 Cannes Film Festival (Style Darling coverage here & here), discussing her time studying at Juilliard, working on Take Shelter, as well as her whirlwind career.
Who’s your favorite newcomer on the red carpet this summer? Are you excited about any of Jessica’s upcoming movies? Which look of hers is your favorite? Happy Styling!
At a recent screening for her new movie, The Help, Emma Stone stepped out in her signature red locks with some serious biker chic duds! She paired a black leather motorcycle jacket with a basic gray tee & cropped gray skinny pants. Adding a little sense of femininity to the whole, she sports some majorly pointy black pumps, which are coming back this fall!
Any body type can pull off this look! To find a patch pocket gray top like this for my plus size readers, check out this link to Forever 21! Cuffed & cropped pants are super chic for any outfit, however for sizes up to 20, gray skinny jeans would do the trick just the same as well! A leather jacket is the perfect way to finish off a look & here Emma gets us ready for fall by doing just that! While it was hard to find one in a plus size, this DKNYC jacket from 6PM is motorcycle-inspired & produces the same edgy effect for an outfit like this. Also, jackets are a struggle for even petite sizes as well & here’s a stylish option!
Emma has been previously featured in our Darling of the Day posts, so check her out here! Also, if you wanna check out a sneak peek of TheHelp, check out my article on Movie Buzzers! Happy Styling!
