In a rare departure from wearing Louis Vuitton, Emma Stone has utilised her latest public outing to co-sign the resurgence of two of the biggest fashion trends from the 2010s: colour blocking and capri pants.
The Academy Award winner arrived at the UK premiere for her latest film, Yorgos Lanthimos’ triptych black comedy Kinds Of Kindness, in a silhouette that’s piqued the curiosity of those who keep up with the celebrity style set.
This is in part due to the rarity of seeing Stone outside of one of Nicolas Ghesquière’s feminine and fantastical designs. Though, more accurately, because the actress’ ensemble is exhumed from the graveyard of forgotten noughties style.

In London on June 24, Stone wore a blue, straight-cut, cotton button-down shirt under a fire-engine-red cashmere sweater and capri-cut satin blend trousers, all from decisively minimalist label The Row.
We wouldn’t take Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen as proprietors of the ‘twee’ aesthetic renaissance. But given their style from this decade is often mimicked (especially by themselves when it comes to designing new season collections for their luxury label), the combination of a Hollywood star referencing the period they broke out in during the peak of their success feels especially justified.
Of course, Stone isn’t alone in embracing these trends, nearly a decade since they were first popularised. Former pop star Victoria Beckham has made polychromatic colour blocking an indispensable part of her uniform. Though we’re unsure if Posh Spice would embrace the polarising pedal pusher—this style is more akin to her daughter-in-law Nicola Peltz Beckham’s wardrobe—the three-quarter length revival is already amongst us. Case in point: Gigi Hadid wearing jean capris, japris if you will, while out in New York.
Yes, it’s clear we’re on the precipice of 2010s style coming back in full force. (A particularly nostalgic sentiment as we’ve just farewelled one of the era’s patriarchs, Dries Van Noten, as he stepped back from his design role at the helm of his eponymous label recently!) Heed our warning—start steaming your peplum shirts, pull your Phoebe Philo-era Celine luggage bag out of storage and shop Stone’s look below:
