Emma Stone attended the 98th Oscars Nominees Luncheon on Tuesday at The Beverly Hilton in Los Angeles, showcasing her consistent preference for minimalist, strappy footwear. The actress, nominated for Best Actress for her role in Bugonia, chose to wear Aquazzura’s You and I 105 Sandal, reinforcing her affinity for stylish yet elegant shoes on the red carpet.
Details Behind the Signature Aquazzura Sandals
The You and I sandals are handcrafted in Italy from black suede, featuring delicate, thin strips that form a graceful curve over the vamp. The design includes two strips crossing over the toes, intertwined in a braided knot at the center for subtle intricacy. These sandals secure with buckled ankle straps and showcase a 105mm stiletto heel, providing both height and striking elegance.
Originally, the You and I sandals were offered in multiple colors and styles, such as snakeskin and metallic silver, and retailed at $925. The particular model worn by Stone is currently sold out on the Aquazzura website. Throughout the years, Stone has frequently chosen Aquazzura footwear, including her recent appearance in New York last October wearing the brand’s Love Affair Mesh brown pumps.
Emma Stone’s Outfit Choice Complements Her Footwear
For the luncheon event, Stone paired the black strappy sandals with a black spring 2026 couture minidress designed by Julie de Libran. The blazer-inspired dress features a satin collar and pockets, a plunging neckline, long sleeves, and a sleek silhouette. She completed the look with sheer black tights that balanced the ensemble’s refined simplicity.
Emma Stone’s Record-Setting Oscar Journey
Stone’s attendance at the pre-Oscars luncheon marks another milestone in her career, as she holds the distinction of being the youngest woman ever to earn seven Academy Award nominations. This achievement surpasses the record once held by Meryl Streep. Alongside her nominations, she has already secured two acting Oscars for her performances in La La Land and Poor Things, highlighting her standing as a prominent figure in Hollywood.
