Emma Stone’s Shoelace Choker Comeback: The Unexpected Fashion Move That’s Breaking All the Rules—Are You Ready to Wear It?

Ever wonder how an A-list actress swaps the glitz of a Venice Film Festival red carpet for the rugged charm of a mountain town? Well, Emma Stone just showed us how it’s done—trading glittering Louis Vuitton gowns for cozy suede jackets and leather pants under the Colorado sky. It’s like swapping protein shakes for hearty mountain air, but with just as much style and flair. Emma’s journey from shimmering sequins to layered fall-ready looks isn’t just a fashion pivot; it’s a masterclass in adapting to your environment with grace. And speaking of adaptation, what does this say about embracing change—not just in fashion, but in our own routines and mindsets? If Emma’s chill Telluride vibe teaches us anything, it’s that sometimes, less glitz and more grit can make the biggest impact.

Just days ago, Emma Stone stepped onto the Venice Film Festival red carpet in a custom, shimmering Louis Vuitton gown. The bubble skirt-slash-column dress hybrid was made for a Hollywood princess, with a fitted bodice and thin, crystal-embellished straps. And, if all eyes weren’t already on Stone for her performance in Bugonia, the sparkling sequin accents would have captured them instantly.

But now, the actor has traded in the glitz and glamour of Italy for a rustic, mountain-approved wardrobe. Over in Colorado for the Telluride Film Festival, where Stone continued to promote her forthcoming Yorgos Lanthimos-directed film, the energy has been more relaxed. More of a celebration than a competition, the weekend-long event might be smaller than its Venice and Toronto counterparts, but is certainly just as mighty.

For her Colorado look, Stone and stylist Petra Flannery opted for a darker color palette and heavier fabric choices, appropriate for the colder mountain climate. The two styled an oversize, brown suede jacket over black leather pants and a cozy sweater, and paired the fit with tortoiseshell sunnies and pointed, square-toe boots.

Arguably the best detail, however, was the Sophie Buhai shoelace choker that was wrapped around Stone’s neck, designed in brown cotton with silver accents at either end. It was an elevated take on the favored accessory of the late 2010s.

Bugonia, Stone’s latest in a series of successful collaborations with Lanthimos (2023’s Poor Things, 2024’s Kinds of Kindness), follows two conspiracy theorists convinced that a high-powered CEO is an alien, on Earth to destroy the planet. Also starring Alicia Silverstone and Jesse Plemons, it will be released on October 31.
