Hollywood's brightest stars descended on New York's Museum of Modern Art on October 21, 2025, for the premiere of Yorgos Lanthimos's "Bugonia." The evening eventually turned into a full-blown fashion spectacle.
Cast members and guests dazzled in bold, art-inspired ensembles, but it was Emma Stone, accompanied by her husband, Dave McCary, who stole the night.
The Oscar-winning actress floated down the red carpet in a sheer, spaghetti-strap gown crafted entirely from delicate knit fabric. The light-gray Louis Vuitton creation, straight from the label's Spring/Summer 2026 runway, featured an empire-waist bra line and contrasting stone-toned seams that framed her figure with understated allure.
Every stitch seemed alive — its wavy detailing shimmered under the lights, creating the illusion of movement. Beneath the translucent knit, Stone's pale-blue, high-waisted underwear subtly peeked through.
With her hair swept into an effortless updo and accessories kept to a minimum, the acclaimed actress embodied modern, minimalist glamor.
Meanwhile, her husband, McCary, cut a relaxed yet refined figure in an autumnal suit, worn open in perfect harmony with his wife's artistic aesthetic. Several people took to social media to share their thoughts on Stone's appearance.

On Instagram, one viewer quipped, "It's hard to choose which dress is the most terrifying.." while another teased, "Lingerie and a bean bag chair... Their clothes might not look good, so at least they do!" One admirer gushed, "Emma is gorgeous."
On Facebook, reactions were glowing. "Classic beauties," one fan swooned, while another wrote, "They look stunning!!!" Someone else added, "Wow! They look so beautiful."
TikTok joined the chorus with its usual mix of hearts and honesty — one fan flooding the comments with heart-faced emojis. Another proclaimed, "I love them." But not everyone was convinced: "Nope and nope... I thought they were paying professionals to dress them.! [sic]," one critic scoffed.
Love it or not, Stone's bold fashion moment has everyone weighing in. Take a look at her show-stopping style from the night!
