Emma Stone Wows in Black Louis Vuitton Gown

stunned in a racy black Louis Vuitton gown as she arrived at the EE BAFTA Film Awards 2026 held at The Royal Festival Hall in London on Sunday.

The actress, 37, who is up for a Leading Actress gong for her performance in Bugonia, opted for a daring look by flashing a hint of sideboob in a cut-out black dress.

Her form-fitting garment stole the show, featuring an elegant meter-long train and a crossed halterneck design.

She kept her accessories to a minimum as she completed her ensemble with a simple diamond bracelet and earrings.

Emma appeared in very happy spirits at the award night, laughing down the red carpet between poses for the cameras.

Bugonia is the fourth film that Emma has worked on with Greek filmmaker Lanthimos.

Bugonia follows two conspiracy-obsessed men who kidnap Stone, the CEO of a major pharmaceutical company, when they become convinced that she's an alien who wants to destroy Earth.

The dark-comedy also stars Jesse Plemons, Alicia Silverstone, and comedian Stavros Halkias.

Emma had her head shaved on camera for the role, which triggered a real-life emotional reaction from the actress.
