In the age of social media, where subtle trends and IT items flood our feeds daily, it can not only be overwhelming, but it’s also easy to feel like you have to invest in it all to look like a fashion person. Amidst this constant flow of content, it’s always good to be reminded that the most powerful style statements are often the simplest. Sometimes, looking totally chic just requires going back to the basics, like the effortless combination of black trousers, a black jacket and simple heels. I’m not the only one who believes this—Emma Stone does too.
While attending the Louis Vuitton Cruise 2027 show in NYC today, Stone was seen in a head-to-toe black outfit consisting of wardrobe basics. Her outfit consisted of a light buttoned jacket, matching trousers with a ruffled hem and open-toed heels. To complete her outfit, Stone chose a small Louis Vuitton trunk-style bag from the brand’s F/W 26 runway collection.
