Yorgos Lanthimos’ highly-anticipated Bugonia landed in the U.K. for its London Film Festival premiere; and with it, so did the stars. Among them, of course, was the director’s frequent collaborator and lead of the forthcoming project, Emma Stone—in an ensemble that leaned into the color palette of the film.

For the occasion, Stone and long-time stylist Petra Flannery picked out an elegant orange gown courtesy of Louis Vuitton. A custom look by Creative Director Nicolas Ghesquiere, the column dress was designed with a straight neckline and floor-length hem, with little spaghetti straps supporting an open-back silhouette. Paired with chunky gold hoops and a shawl that draped from her arms down her back and to the red carpet, she looked like a picture of classic glamor.

The orange gown just so happened to also match her signature red hair, which Stone previously shaved for Bugonia. Tinted copper, hair stylist Mara Roszak gave the short bob a deep side part and slight curl. On the makeup side, artist Nina Park kept things natural, with a deep red lip and fresh complexion that let Stone’s green eyes pop.

Hitting theaters at the end of the month—on Halloween, of all days—the dark comedy was written as an English-language remake of the 2003 South Korean film Save the Green Planet! by Jang Joon-hwan, following two conspiracy theorists who kidnap their company’s CEO, convinced she is actually an alien sent to destroy planet Earth. In addition to Stone, Lanthimos tapped Jesse Plemons, who previously worked alongside the duo on Kinds of Kindness (2024), and Aidan Delbis, set to make his feature film debut with the project.
