Emma Stone was besotted with her white dress in Poor Things
Emma Stone has revealed that she fell in love with the white dress she wore in character as Bella Baxter in the film 'Poor Things'.
Emma Stone could wear the white dress from 'Poor Things' "all day".
The 35-year-old actress stars in Yorgos Lanthimos's new movie as Bella Baxter and explained how the garment is her "favourite" costume that she has ever worn during her career on the big screen.
In conversation with the film's costume designer Holly Waddington for Interview magazine, Emma said: "You know my favourite! My favourite costume I’ve ever worn! Ever.
"I’d just stay in that white dress all day, and that net! So I couldn’t really eat or drink once it was pinned in. But I’ve never worn something that beautiful."
When her claim was dismissed by Waddington, the 'La La Land' star said: "No! It was so delicate and it felt like every part of her coming together in this gauzy confection. I just loved it."
'Poor Things' was filmed in Budapest in 2021 and Waddington explained the challenges of trying to get period costumes arranged amid the restrictions of the coronavirus pandemic.
She said: "It was very challenging. I know people who are working in Budapest now, and they just nip on a plane home to Portobello Market to get some antique buttons or some fabric. But we were really there. We couldn't nip off to anywhere."
Emma explained that the picture is the most "detailed film" that she has ever worked on and is in "awe" of how Waddington put together the Victorian-era clothing.
She said: "It's the most detailed film I've ever been a part of, for sure, and you were a big part of that. I'm just in awe of how you did it."
