Hot or Hot Mess: Emma Stone in Giambattista Valli at the Friends with Benefits Premiere

By Charlotte

Emma Stone was back to her vibrant, bright self in more ways than one at the Friends With Benefits premiere this week, in this on-trend Giambattista Valli number. The colour-blocking piece combined colour-of-the-season punchy pink in the skirt and bright red in the bodice. She paired the outfit with simple nude shoes, a silver clutch and pretty pink lips.

I absolutely love the colours of this dress. Red is notoriously hard to pull off for redheads, but she chooses a perfect shade of red that doesn’t compete with her hair or over-power it. Pink and red is also an unusual combination, but it pushes colour blocking beyond simply complimentary colours and the result really works. The long sleeves of the blouse and the pencil shape of the skirt are both grown-up but sexy on her, and the pretty nude pumps make her legs look a mile long and compliment the look perfectly. I also love the fact that unlike a lot of young actresses, Emma is happy to embrace her naturally pale skin, even in an outfit this bright.

Of course, I have to discuss the…poufs (?)…on the skirt. While they are a little out there, I do think they are really fun. Without them, I don’t think the outfit would stand out so much, and the fun shape keeps the outfit young and interesting. However, I can definitely see how they seem to be an unusual choice.

What do you think, can Emma rock the voluminous accents and red hair/red top combo? Do we think her look is hot or just another Hollywood hot mess?
