00:00Hi, I'm Emma Stone, and this is my life in looks.
00:08This was the first premiere that I ever went to
00:11for Superbad, which was the first movie I ever did.
00:13I remember it being very, very exciting.
00:15Tara Swenon was the stylist for this.
00:18Superbad was so, so exciting
00:21because I just loved the script so much.
00:24I had been auditioning so much,
00:26and this amazing casting director, Alison Jones,
00:28I'd been into her a bunch of times for different sitcom pilots
00:31and all these things, and so she thought of me
00:33for this role, Jules, in Superbad.
00:35It was like months.
00:36I went in and did improv with Jonah,
00:38for Judd Apatow, who was a producer,
00:40and my best friend in the world is Martha McIsaac,
00:42who played Becca, the other female character in Superbad.
00:46And we lived together after that,
00:48and just, you know, life-changing in every way.
00:53I guess I would say to myself back then, like, go for it.
00:57How exciting that you get to do this.
00:59I don't think there's ever gonna be anything in here
01:02where I'm gonna be, like, filled with regret
01:05because what's the point, you know?
01:07Every time period of your life is different.
01:11Next up we have, oh my.
01:12Okay, wait, hold on.
01:13I told you before that I wasn't gonna say I regret anything.
01:16I immediately am going against that.
01:18It's not about the dress, though.
01:20It's the spray tan.
01:21Listen, I'm from Arizona,
01:22and I don't have any pigment in my skin.
01:24So growing up, I was really obsessed
01:27with the idea of being tan.
01:29That sort of followed me the first couple years
01:32that I was going to these types of things.
01:34I thought, you know, if you're dressing up,
01:36and if you want to look great,
01:37you should get a really, really dark spray tan.
01:39If you look closely, my hands are,
01:41it looks like I'm wearing gloves
01:43because it's not on my hands.
01:44I love this dress.
01:45I remember feeling so great in this,
01:47so great that I had to get a spray tan
01:49to really enhance how great I felt.
01:51Easy A was another very pivotal moment for me.
01:56I loved that character so deeply.
01:58I love Olive because she's so sort of,
02:01I never know how to pronounce this word
02:02because I only read it.
02:04Preacher Naturally?
02:05I thought that I'll be it was I'll bite for so many years
02:10because I would see it written down,
02:11and I was like, I'll bite everybody.
02:13It's I'll be it.
02:14So Preacher Naturally, come at me.
02:17Internet, I'm gonna get canceled for that one.
02:20She's so precocious, I guess, is a different word for it
02:24in terms of how she relates
02:25to the sort of high school atmosphere,
02:27and I think that she's very in that world,
02:29but not of that world.
02:31Yeah, I just love Olive.
02:33She rocked.
02:34We're gonna go to the next look now,
02:36and I can't wait to show you what we've got.
02:39It's, oh God, it's the spray tan again.
02:43They look like one solid thumb,
02:46and that dress is so pretty.
02:47I just, why did I decide to match my skin tone to the dress?
02:50That's what bums me out about this,
02:52is I really, it's such a beautiful dress,
02:53such a beautiful shade,
02:55and I just, I really thought that the tan was the move.
02:59That was a really, really fun night
03:01because I brought my mom,
03:02and we sat next to Angelina Jolie,
03:05and she asked Angelina Jolie if she had any kids.
03:09The Golden Globes is sort of like these big round tables,
03:12and it feels like you're just like constantly running
03:14into all these people that you've only seen,
03:18I guess, on TV or in movies.
03:20Everybody's shorter than you think they are,
03:22except for Conan O'Brien,
03:23who's seven and a half feet tall.
03:26Here we go.
03:27Next up is, aw.
03:29This is John Batista Valley, the Oscars 2012,
03:33and I presented Best Visual Effects with Ben Stiller.
03:36I was very nervous.
03:37Ben Stiller was great and very nice,
03:39and we had done the rehearsal.
03:41It was fun for me because honestly,
03:43in any of these circumstances,
03:45there's nothing more fun for me than performing,
03:47so anytime I get to kind of do a bit,
03:49it's like on talk shows,
03:50like getting to do lip syncing or a game or something,
03:55feels way better to me than doing an interview like this.
03:59Thanks a lot.
04:00I had an amazing time here because it was so fun to,
04:04you know, ask Jonah to dance
04:06or like to be this really kind of over-the-top character,
04:09and Ben was such an amazing straight man.
04:12I mean, he's iconically an incredible straight man
04:15in so many things.
04:16That was a real boon
04:17to have Ben Stiller straight manning my cuckoo-ness.
04:22Oh, yes.
04:23Spider-Man premiered in London in 2014.
04:26This is Versace.
04:27I love that color so much, that bright yellow.
04:32This beautiful gold necklace,
04:33the pink on the lip, the whole thing.
04:36I loved it.
04:37I mean, I really loved doing Spider-Man.
04:39I loved everybody I worked with.
04:41I met Andrew there.
04:42I met Sally Field.
04:44Mark Webb was wonderful.
04:45Like, it was really a special time in my life.
04:48So that's the recurring theme, is the people.
04:51More than kind of like the film itself is what sticks with me for so long.
04:55And so I have only, like, the fondest memories of this whole experience.
04:59I will say, the press tours for these films, I don't really know how people do it.
05:07I remember it being like nine countries in maybe two weeks, and you're functioning in
05:12a state of jet lag never previously known to you.
05:15I felt truly psychotic the entire time.
05:18So I'm half dead in this picture, but I love the look.
05:22Okay.
05:23Oh, yes.
05:24Okay.
05:25So this was Valentino.
05:26It was the Birdman premiere at Venice Film Festival, Mara Rozak.
05:32My hairdresser, as we say, not stylist, had just given me a fresh bob.
05:38We were very excited about this bob.
05:40Can't wait to get there again.
05:41Mara, she's over there.
05:43Please.
05:44Sue.
05:45I loved the shade of this, the whole thing.
05:47And this was my first time at the Venice Film Festival, which is so incredible.
05:52You ride in gondolas everywhere.
05:54I'd never been to Venice, Italy before, and it feels very romantic and very intense,
05:58as you can see from, I mean, look at that guy.
06:01It feels like that energy coming at you, but then you get on a gondola and it's like quiet
06:06and you're on the canals.
06:08It was, it was amazing.
06:09Birdman felt like, like I thought that Alejandro was joking when he, when he asked me to do it.
06:16I was like, there's no way you want me to play this part with this incredible cast.
06:21And you're the director.
06:22It was just really kind of threw me for a loop.
06:25It really freaked me out and made me so excited.
06:28And we had all these rehearsals for a month to choreograph everything
06:32because every scene was done in one take.
06:33And I do think that that experience sort of shifted my relationship to films
06:38that I've wanted to be part of since.
06:41My instinct is just to choose high wire acts.
06:45I like when someone is swinging for the fences.
06:46Even if you miss, you're really trying for something.
06:49And, um, it doesn't feel like safe or complacent.
06:53And I don't expect to be in that position for a long time.
06:57While I have the opportunity to choose films that feel like that.
07:01That's what I, that's what I try to do.
07:03And so Birdman was really kind of the birth of that.
07:06Uh, oh, look at her go in her chartreuse.
07:11That's Elie Saab with some, I believe Tiffany cuffs at the end of the dress,
07:15which look like they're part of the sleeves, but they're not.
07:18Don't be fooled.
07:19Were they slightly tacked to the end of the sleeves?
07:23Sure.
07:24Yeah.
07:24All right.
07:25We took a little creative license, but, uh, no, they're not part of the dress.
07:29What is wrong with me?
07:31There's something so great about this color in general.
07:34Some might call it putrid, a little, a little gross, you know, but not us.
07:40We love it.
07:41Even dyed the shoes to match.
07:43If you'll notice those did not come in that color.
07:45That's a dye job.
07:46The Lego movie was that year and I got to get a Lego Oscar.
07:52So great night.
07:54Oh, look, wait, this was just the other day, huh?
07:59Right?
08:00No, I'm kidding.
08:01This is Vogue in 2016.
08:04I'm wearing a Michael Kors top and who knows what's on the bottom.
08:07It was so fun.
08:09It was all wigs and it was just kind of all over the WB lot or the Paramount lot.
08:14And we were just dressing up and all these different things kind of in a tribute to the,
08:18you know, Mia being an actress in La La Land in the film, which is what this was for.
08:22And it was great.
08:24And I was really surprised that this was the cover picture and thought it was so cool.
08:28Okay.
08:29Oh, La La Land.
08:31Mary Zofris was the costume designer.
08:33The inspiration from Umbrellas of Cherbourg, the Jacques Demy movie was pretty resonant
08:39throughout all of the sort of color scape of this movie.
08:41It's a lot of, you know, bright and prime colors and everything was pretty much a solid shade.
08:49This yellow dress reminds me of that one that we had at the Spider-Man premiere.
08:54It's like this, a very similar shade of that like buttery buttercup yellow.
08:58I had done a cabaret.
09:01Damien Chazelle, our director, had come to see me in cabaret, much like Sally Bowles.
09:06Mia doesn't have to be a perfect singer, which is the only way that I possibly could have played this role because I am not a natural born singer.
09:14I took voice lessons for so many years and it just didn't ever really progress to the point where it's like she is a dyed-in-the-wool singer.
09:21It was a joy to get to sing in a movie and not have this immense pressure of needing to sound perfect.
09:28We had to dance like this and to do tap training and our ballroom training and it was great.
09:34Nope.
09:35Nope.
09:36Ah, yes.
09:38This is the Oscars in 2017 and I'm wearing Givenchy.
09:41This dress was very special.
09:42There were a lot of fittings for this.
09:44The fringe was really fun.
09:46Felt very kind of old Hollywood.
09:48It's also a really intense build-up period to a night like this.
09:53I learned in that time period that the sort of going out and promoting a film like this film is longer than you ever rehearsed or shot the film.
10:04Like it's such a long sort of road to a night like this.
10:09This is like the final night.
10:10It's very emotional on a lot of levels and very surreal on a lot of levels.
10:14It's like very tearful or was for me like very tearful and really intense.
10:19And it's also like saying goodbye to all of those people that you've been doing this.
10:24You made the film with and then you've been out going to all these places or, you know, talking about this film for so long.
10:31And it is the last night.
10:32It's really emotional.
10:33It was very emotional.
10:36My proudest achievement is my spelling bee drop.
10:38I can spell really well, but I can't say preacher naturally or I'll be it.
10:43I have a GED.
10:44Anyway, here's our next look.
10:45Louis Vuitton.
10:46It was the Met Ball.
10:47Heavenly Bodies was the theme.
10:50This is really the Super Bowl for designers, I would say.
10:54It is beautiful.
10:56And looks like I'm going on a ship.
11:00A ship is kind of a heavenly body because it's like, how is it so big and still staying afloat?
11:05You know, in terms of the physics of it, if someone could explain that to me, that would be great.
11:09This is a still from The Favourite.
11:13It was my first time working with one Mr. Yorgos Lanthimos.
11:18It was an amazing experience.
11:21Another cast and crew that I absolutely love and adore to this day.
11:26We shot it on location at this place called Hatfield House, 45 minutes from London.
11:31It was all very old and very beautiful and we weren't allowed to sit on anything.
11:35And they put a pine cone on each chair throughout the sort of palace to ensure that we wouldn't sit on it.
11:43And I remember thinking that was like so cool and sadistic.
11:47But you know what you could do?
11:48Don't tell them.
11:49You could lift up the pine cone and sit on it.
11:51This was Sandy Powell, costume designer.
11:53She's a genius.
11:54She's a legend.
11:55My first time ever really wearing a corset.
11:58I can confirm it does shift your organs after a while.
12:01My body shape was different for like, I would say about a month after The Favourite because it was extremely tight.
12:07It pulls you in.
12:08I've got a very big rib cage.
12:09So it's like an intense thing to maneuver.
12:13My body was definitely not built for a corset.
12:15That's a gift that keeps on giving because now I can really hold my breath for a long time underwater.
12:19And I think it's because of the corset.
12:20Okay.
12:22Hello.
12:23This is the cover of British Vogue, shot by Craig McDean.
12:26This is a look that Rachel Goodwin completely nailed, but you're told to not do anymore, which is a blue eye, blush pink and a red lip, you know, like an 80s look.
12:39But here it's incredible.
12:41All credit where credit is due.
12:42Rachel Goodwin is incredible and brilliant.
12:45We've been working together for 20 years, but I will say I met a red lip when I was in
12:49youth theater doing my own makeup.
12:51I played many characters and I learned to do my makeup with Ben Nye, if you know, you know.
12:55I was like playing Eeyore and old women where I would draw on wrinkles and stuff.
13:02And I definitely had to wear a red lip as a stepsister in Cinderella at the Herberger Theatre Center.
13:08And one of the best parts about that red lipstick was I was 13 and I had to put it on, you know, every day.
13:14But I had braces and for the entire show, I just had like red lipstick stuck in my braces.
13:22So, no, Rachel didn't introduce me to a red lip.
13:25Long story short.
13:26Next slide.
13:27You know, you can't really think about the 700 hours of craftsmanship while you're wearing it or else you won't be able to move.
13:32There's so many people working on these clothes and it takes so much care and craftsmanship.
13:39Whenever there is a dress that I've gotten to wear, been lucky enough to wear, that has taken a lot of hard work, you just feel grateful that you get to wear it.
13:48And it really does remind you of that thing in Devil Wears Prada, you know, where it's like it's art that you live your life in.
13:53It really is true.
13:54It's pretty amazing.
13:55That said, Nicola, one of the great loves of my life.
13:58I saw the memes, okay?
13:59I saw the memes that I looked like Waffle.
14:01The color brown, I do understand because of the honeycomb shape, it is a little bit wafflesque.
14:06And I like that because waffles are my favorite food.
14:09So you got got.
14:11My favorite place in the whole wide world, SNL.
14:16SNL has always been really personal to me.
14:18I did happen to meet my husband there as well, but my favorite, favorite performer of all time is Gilda Radner.
14:24I grew up obviously watching SNL every Saturday that was on at the time, which also, I was so lucky.
14:30I was watching 90s SNL, insane cast, so incredible.
14:34But I also knew so much about Gilda.
14:36Gilda has always held such a deeply special place in my heart.
14:40So Lorne was like this, I just couldn't imagine ever meeting Lorne.
14:44And the first time I met Lorne, I fully burst into tears and was just like, I couldn't speak.
14:51And honestly, the day that I got the call to host SNL for the first time, I was not well.
14:57I cried so hard.
14:59It was like somebody had died, but it was in the positive way.
15:02It was just, it was like the greatest, greatest dream of my life to get to go be there.
15:05And so it's, it's always meant so much to me.
15:08And I just, it's just my favorite place to be.
15:12This is a still from Poor Things.
15:15Holly Waddington was our costume designer.
15:18Brilliant beyond belief.
15:20Just created such inspired, unique looks for a person who is not sure how to put everything together on her own body.
15:32Here, it's, it's bloomers with this sheer sort of petticoat that would be worn under another outfit.
15:38Also, this ruffled shirt obviously would need a coat over it.
15:40But what does Bella Baxter know?
15:43She has no idea how that goes together.
15:44So she just put on whatever she wanted.
15:46Holly won the Oscar for this.
15:48This was so genius.
15:49And she was under great duress because this was in 2021 when there was a lot of delays coming to Budapest from England, where she typically works in materials, in all of this stuff that she needed to make.
16:01Everything had to be made.
16:02Nothing was bought.
16:02So she had a really huge job cut out for her in this time period, and she just pulled it off so beautifully by no help of mine because I hate fittings.
16:13And I was always like, oh yeah, we have to do another fitting.
16:16And just making her life a nightmare.
16:18I think from the beginning, we went to Athens early on before we shot the film.
16:21Yorgos and Holly and I kind of talked through mood boards and fabrics and all of these things.
16:26Back to the sort of chartreuse world, she wanted colors that were a little off, like a little strange, you know, very evocative of that kind of time period.
16:37She kept saying things that felt like organs because Godwin Baxter, Bella's father, is a surgeon.
16:43There's a lot about brains and a lot of kind of, you know, scientific elements.
16:47And so she had a lot of that inspiration from like bodily things, which to me was just so cool and so interesting the way that she brought it to life.
16:56Okay.
16:57Oh, what was really fun about this dress was there was these big pockets that are just like the structured pockets.
17:03It's Louis Vuitton dress.
17:04So I just texted Nikola and asked him if we could put popcorn in the pockets because I don't know if it's his favorite food, but there's always popcorn around Lorne Michaels.
17:12Like in his office, everybody just takes handfuls of popcorn.
17:15I thought it's the 50th anniversary. Let's do a tribute to Lorne with popcorn.
17:18First of all, rude, because look at the ground.
17:21I trailed popcorn everywhere I went and I know that's rude and I don't think that it's not rude and I'm sorry.
17:29But at the same time, did a lot of people eat popcorn out of my pockets?
17:33Yes.
17:34People were very excited that there was just free popcorn.
17:37Grace Cottington was the creative director for this shoot.
17:41Amazing. So exciting to just get to work with Grace.
17:46Jamie Hawksworth was the photographer.
17:48I almost cried when I found out he was the photographer because he shoots exclusively on film, usually medium format film, and he develops and prints his own photography, which is a huge passion of mine.
18:01So I was so excited. And Jamie's very into you being kind of goofy and, you know, sort of acting while you're being photographed.
18:10So it was really a cool experience.
18:12We were in the Pope's residence before the Vatican in Avignon and there was a tour group that was going through, but they would sort of rope off like half of it.
18:21And I would sort of like walk by in a robe and these Nikola created looks.
18:27And this is very funny and very, very cool.
18:30And there's my Vogue cover.
18:31All right.
18:32That was my life in looks.
18:34Thank you so much for having me.
18:36And I hope you learned a lot today.
18:38I sure did.
18:40I sure did.
