Emma Stone has given Us the green light to dust off our chokers.
The 35-year-old actress brought back the popular '90s accessory with a delicate twist at the Poor Things premiere in New York City on December 6. Stone's accessory featured a thick black band with a glittery, lifelike flower at the center. She paired the statement piece with a vibrant yellow gown by Louis Vuitton, a brand she has been representing since October 2017. The dress had a sheer base with a lace and beaded overlay, a plunging neckline, and a short train. Stone completed the look with metallic sandal heels, rosy cheeks, a pink lip, shimmery eyeshadow, and an elegant updo, showcasing her bright red hair.
Stone’s red carpet look seemed to be a toned-down homage to her character Bella Baxter’s eccentric Victorian style in Poor Things. Throughout the film, Bella, a young woman revived by unorthodox scientist Dr. Goodwin Baxter, sports outfits with flowing sleeves, unique textures, and vibrant colors. Her lively ensembles are complemented by Bella’s long, jet-black wavy hair and bold eyebrows.

At the Wednesday screening, Stone enthusiastically praised the unique character of Bella, describing her as unlike anything that has existed before. She marveled at the opportunity to portray a character that was so open and free, and expressed her excitement and love for the film.
The cast of Poor Things includes Emma Stone, Mark Ruffalo, Ramy Youssef, Margaret Qualley, Jerrod Carmichael, and Willem Dafoe as Dr. Baxter. The film, directed by Yorgos Lanthimos, is an adaptation of Alasdair Gray’s 1992 novel of the same name. In an interview with Variety in November, 68-year-old Dafoe expressed his enjoyment of playing Dr. Baxter.

Dafoe expressed admiration for the intricate Victorian details in the film's world, as well as the talented cast and well-crafted script. He also drew inspiration from Alasdair Gray's novel and described Dr. Baxter as eccentric, intellectual, and playful, turning his pain into something positive. "Poor Things" will be released in theaters on Friday, December 8th.
