This or that?: Belles in embellishments

Emma Stone and Felicity Jones's embellished ensembles made a starry statement on the red carpet

There’s a certain determination needed throughout awards season – the kind that requires A-listers to bring their A game whenever they step out of the house. So, it’s no surprise that Emma Stone and Felicity Jones got dressed up to the nines for a lunch time event on Monday, the 87th Annual Academy Awards Nominee Luncheon, which was held at The Beverly Hilton Hotel. Other than their head-turning star power, their embellished ensembles made a starry statement on the red carpet. Here’s a breakdown of their looks. Take your pick.

Hair and make-up

With copper hair, styled in loose waves, and green eyes punched up with dramatic black eyeliner and lengthening mascara, the Birdman star was spot-on radiating a sensual yet feminine vibe. Wearing a bold fuchsia lipstick and with shimmering peachy cheeks, Emma was a sight for sore eyes.

Outfit

The Oscar-nominee proved her fashionista status in a shiny sequined striped top and polka-dot skirt. Looking comfy in a Michael Kors ensemble featuring a myriad of patterns, Emma worked the lax outfit effortlessly. The embellishments on the striped top added a fun element to the full-sleeved outfit.

Accessories

To make the appearance all the more alluring, the star opted for black suede sky-high Jimmy Choo heels. Wearing minimal accessories, she let her shimmery sequined ensemble do the talking.

 Hair and make-up

The Theory of Everything star kept her look simple and sophisticated by sporting her dark mane relaxed and tousled. With a bare face and a burnt orange lip, Felicity rocked a grey smokey eye smeared with mauve eyeshadow.

Outfit

The British actor stayed true to her classy sartorial reputation with a unique ensemble. Donning a Pre-Fall 2015 Christian Dior dress, the star stood out. Eccentric and fun, the green leather mini-dress featured an immaculately embellished turtle neck and long, sequinned sleeves, diverging from the usual floor-grazing gowns that don’t always feel age-appropriate.

Accessories

Also going completely accessory-free, the brunette beauty polished off her look with a jet-black mani and her million-dollar smile. The star stood tall in a pair of bottle-green Manolo Blahnik stilettos, which matched the tone of her olive dress.
