Emma Stone brought a lot of sparkle and a deep, plunging neckline to the Cannes Film Festival’s red carpet. The Kinds of Kindness star stepped out at the film’s premiere this evening, wearing a plum-colored sequin dress by Louis Vuitton. She had her red hair styled in loose waves. In terms of accessories, Stone left her neck bare, choosing a pair of dangle hoop earrings and a statement bangle bracelet instead.

Kinds of Kindness marks Stone’s latest collaboration with Yorgos Lanthimos, who directed and co-wrote the film. They last worked together on Poor Things, which earned Stone her second best actress Oscar this year. They also did The Favourite (2018) together.

Stone spoke to Variety with Lanthimos in February about how they came to work together on Poor Things. His decision to cast her went far beyond Stone’s acting talent.

As Stone explained, “Yorgos feels like a lot of his process of working with people or putting people in his films has to do with who they are as a person. It’s not just performance-based. When we’ve gone through casting stuff, you usually send me people’s interviews rather than their films.”

Lanthimos agreed, saying, “Yeah, it’s very important, the person. So there’s always this thing where casting directors or agents are asking, ‘Is this an offer?’ And I always go, ‘Well, I need us to meet first.’ How am I going to offer a part if I don’t speak to the person, see how we get along? So we met and we got along really well.”
