Emma Stone Revives a 1996 Donna Karan Look in New York City
Emma Stone made a nostalgic appearance in the streets of New York in a green two-piece set from Donna Karan’s Spring/Summer 1996 collection, a look originally worn by Gwyneth Paltrow. The actress was spotted on her way to “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert”, where she was promoting her upcoming film.

Her outfit consists of a silky green collared jacket held together by a single thin string without any inner layer, leaving a glimpse of bare skin from her neckline down to her waist.
The top had an exaggerated long sleeve that was ruffled from her elbow, adding a soft texture to the fine fabric. She paired it with a matching ankle-length skirt that sat high on her waist.

Emma decided to go fully into the 90’s era, she left her red bob hair loose and accessorizing minimally with just a diamond stud earrings from Arielle Ratner. The actress completed the look with a pair of black leather sandals with kitten heels and criss cross straps from Manolo Blahnik.
Stone was styled by Petra Flannery, who kept the look almost identical to how Paltrow wore it in Great Expectations: minus the lime-green belt that cinched it on the runway. The minimalist tweaks gave the vintage Donna Karan set a softer finish, proving once again that with the right styling, a piece from nearly three decades ago can still look refreshingly current.
