Sigh. How chic does Emma look here?
I wish I had the grace and presence — and resources, and social schedule — to swan into a venue wearing the perfect cream coat and red lippy and heels. Maybe I’ll start. Maybe I will instantly become a breezier, classier person if I just adopt this as my aura, whether I am going to the doctor or the mall or to Gymboree Play & Music for an hour of shaking maracas to Queen songs.
Or, someone will invent a body-snatching time-traveling DeLorean so that I can go back in time and relive my life as Emma Stone. But the former might be easier.
Here’s what she wore under the coat:
As a fair-skinned girl, I must thank Emma for resolutely sticking to her natural skin color, and not succumbing to the spray-paint syndrome that afflicts most of this town. Thanks for carrying that torch, milady. And, she might also be doing the near-impossible, which is: wearing cream (or lemon? Hard to tell what the flashes are doing to it) without looking washed-out or jaundiced. The hair, the lipstick, the red polish, the shoes… they all work together to punch this up so that she doesn’t get lost in the dress, and the dress doesn’t get lost on her. And so my girl crush continues. Now if you’ll excuse me, I need to go slather myself in SPF.

That first shot up there is FABULOUS. All she needs is a pair of oversized sunglasses, a brimmed hat, and a dainty purse an she would look like one of those Vogue editorials from the 60′s. Gosh if only I was that fancy.
I love her! My husband has a big crush on her, too.
My girl crush with her is bordering on obsession. Oh well. At least if I go all “Single White Female” on her, I’ll look fabulous.
I love this on her! She looks elegant, yet comfortably herself.
This is how I look in my imagination – swishy, feminine and chic. In real life, the only bit I can reliably rustle up is the pallour and a smile ; )
I totally look like this in my imagination too. Except, you know, Black.
Ahahahaha!! Yes, in my imagination, I am the epitome of classy and easy breezy perfection. Except, as Kit said, Black! The reality? Nowhere near the state of the grounds she walks on…
Couldn’t agree more re: skin tone. THANK YOU, EMMA!!
When I got married, my NYC-based dress designer did all my fittings since my figure is all cattywumpus compared to most average women’s proportions.
At the final fitting, my mother said “Okay, you really need to get a tan now.”
Without looking up from what he was doing, the designer said “No. It would ruin my dress. Besides – her skin is porcelain and perfect. She will never NEED a tan.” It was only the major corseting inside the dress that kept me from laughing hysterically
Cattywumpus?! I’m going to use that every day now! Cattywumpus!
<3 the designer guy.
She looks too fabulous for real life. She also validates my decision to wear red lippy to work today, though I kind of want to wipe it off because I’ll never look THAT good in anything, ever.
I LOVE the first shot of her, but not loving the color palette of the dress itself (although as a fair, befreckled girl myself, loving her fairness)–i think it makes her legs look an unappealing shade of…something. The top half actually doesn’t bother me, But the leg half does. But then I’ve always preferred rich colors, so this wouldn’t be my choice for her ever.
But GOD I love that coat.
Emma is one of the few women in Hollywood I actually really want to be friends with.
(Maybe she would let me borrow the entire outfit.)
Agreed- beautiful, comfortable, and I wish I could be her, if only for a day.
But! I kind of wish she’d take her hands out of her pockets. Yes, it does lend to her effortless aura, but it also makes me focus way too hard on the outline of her hand in her pocket instead of the dress itself.
My girl crush/obsession continues. This girl is B-E-A-Utiful! And so unique looking. As a very fair-skinned auburn-haired lass, I really appreciate the lack of tanning. Healthy skin is beautiful skin!
Also, that first photo (especially when you look at the larger original shot) looks like its froma very glamorous photo shoot.
The bodice on the dress bugs me somehow. The French-maid-apron effect of the the inset detracts from the loveliness. Overall a major WIN though.
Also, the voice currently in my head is that of The Grammar Fairy. She says that comparative modifiers for the word ‘unique’ are only appropriate when they are negative. A thing may be ‘nearly unique’ or ‘almost unique’ but it is never ‘more unique’ or ‘so unique’, on account of the definition of the word being “the only one of its kind.” She also has strong words on the appropriate use of apostrophes, but that is a rant for another day.
Corinner, I do apologize for using you as an example here. I have no personal animosity towards you; this just bugs me nearly as much as people standing around with their hands in their pockets.
Lemon sherbet. And, how chic? Tres chic.
Love it all.
Except for the use of the term “lippy” in regards to lipstick. Makes me cringe, even when my Brit friends say it.
I LOVE HER SO MUCH. Corriner: ME TOO. She epitomizes how to beautifully style your hair/make up if you’re a ginger. She’s my style icon on every level!
Tell me what I have to do for that coat and it’s done. Yesterday.
I love her, too! She’s a funny, fiery redhead who keeps it real! My friend and I totally share a girl crush on her:

Holy camoly, that first photo is a knockout. She just looks so classic Hollywood there.
I think the colored bodice on that dress is helping to keep her from looking washed out in what’s otherwise a painfully neutral dress. The shoes, the lipstick, and dear lord that hair don’t hurt, either.
Simply lovely. I covet that coat and I too praise the fair skin! As a dough white person I appreciate her standing up for the rest of us
Is that the new Chanel coat?? I am OBSESSED with it and sand because I fear it can never be. I love everything about these outfits.
It’s so Grace Kelly 2012, love it, and HER!
Wow, in my book, the first shot with the coat definitely ranks above “Well Played.” I would call that “Impeccably Played.” Darn, how does someone so young look that put together and lovely…and she’s smart and funny too. Not fair!
I too give her a ‘brava’ for having natural skin. All of Hollywood should take a lesson from Emma and Anne Hathaway: there is dignity in being pale!
I am so on board the love train for this entire look, and her in general, and her gorgeous untanned skin. I’m another pale skinned woman and it took me years to come to terms with it and not wish that I was tanned. She looks lovely.
And I totally love my pale colouring now, and have also seen what the sun has done to the skin of my (fellow late 30s) friends. Blimey!
I know exactly what you mean about the pale skin. Unfortunately, I tanned until I was almost 30, so now my skin doesn’t look as young as it could. I could slap myself for spending so much time in the sun and tanning beds when I was younger!
There’s an image I have had in my for years of a quintessentially cool woman. She’s elegantly dressed, with sleak hair, subtle make-up and discrete jewellery. She walks into a bar and slides nonchalently onto a stool and orders her Scotch neat.
I believe that the first photo is that woman.
Does anyone know where the dress is from?
amazing beautiful – thats elegance for a young person… now if I could afford all elements in this outfit…
I originally read “thanks for carrying the torch, milady” as “thanks for carrying the torch, milky.”
I hope Emma Stone doesn’t get too classy on us. I like her a little bit off-kilter, like in Crazy Stupid Love. (Or, going WAY back, Superbad.)
She does look beautiful. Love the pale skin, but remember when she was super tan/blonde in the bright coral dress? She’s been to tansville before, hope she’s not going back.
She is a rarity these days…young and completely classy. She never looks sleazy, or overdone, or modern Hollywood. Not a streak of spray tan in sight. She stands out among so much kardashian krap. She’s just a major babe whose entire wardrobe I covet. Emma I bow to thee.
oh and blake lively? cast your eyes on what young and sexy REALLY looks like.
They play Queen at Gymboree??!! That’s fantastic! Also fantastic, is that coat. And the dress is pretty nice, too. She’s adorable.
Red Lippy = Fab! Is it just me though or does wearing red lipstick require you to acquire/put on / make up a more confident persona than you usually have?? She is a classy girl Emma Stone…defo want to be her friend! I love the pockets in the dress too! Nice detail.
I love her in this! I love her in anything! I love her in everything!
Do you ever wonder if Emma Stone is what Lindsay Lohan could have been if only she had better guidance around her and made better decisions for herself?!?
Yes! This is the best Well Played since Zoe Saldana’s emerald dress. Fantastic.
As a fair-skinned woman who lives in a tropical island and get asked constantly if I live in a dungeon, I take my hat off to Emma for carrying the Pale People Torch proudly! I ADORE THIS LOOK & COVET IT ALL! Everything… the awesome coat, the beautiful lemon/cream dress, the cute shoes & clutch, the pretty hair, the flawless makeup & nailpolish = PERFECTION!!! Love…………
She looks adorable and classy, which is hard to do I credit this to a great stylist, a very intuitive makeup artist, and to that red hair. I hope she never goes back to blond, because much as with Nicole Kidman and Michelle Williams, it totally washes her out, while red hair plays up her features and her beautiful pale skin. Brava, Emma.
We saw the first photo and thought that her coat looked great! Saw the second and loved her dress too!! She looks fab!
I absolutely love it! So classy but still trendy.
Pockets? That’s my only beef, and such an afterthought too, that no one else is bothered by it in the least.
Love it all! Must have that coat, although it would be dirty 2 seconds after I put it on, knowing me.
As a fellow uber-pale (cool-toned) girl, I think we actually look good in ivory-ish colors. It’s white that washes us out.
Wow–I’d only ever seen her wearing the dress and not the coat, and I thought it looked a little too warm weather for January, but the coat infinitely improves the entire look. The colour, of course, is perfect for a redhead, and I love the variations of it all the way down to the shoes. So pretty.
I suspect that, to others, we all are more fabulous than we ourselves think. May we all celebrate our inner Emmas!
she is lovely. and that first shot is fantastic. but she has a tendency to lead with her pelvis (see her photo in the green and black waiter’s tux outfit thing at the people’s choice awards). clearly that first shot shows that she can stand up straight.
I think the first picture has entered my favorite “celebrity photos” category, right up there beside the umbrella picture with Diane/Josh. She is fab.
Girl crush. Seriously? Yes, she seems nice, but remember she is an actress. That’s right, an actress. That means she is one action flick and Oscar nod away from having her security people pull you out of the elevator so the doesn’t have to ride up with the taint of the masses. They are all crazy, all of them. None of them were loved enough as children. They all ride in on their looks and out on desperation.
I just adore her, plain and simple
