Emma Stone Unveils Romantic Lace at The Amazing Spider-Man Premiere • CelebMafia

The red carpet arrival of the actress in Madrid was a breathtaking fashion moment, championing a Dolce & Gabbana couture dress that merged delicate lace with romantic, baroque embroidery.

For the Madrid premiere of The Amazing Spider-Man on June 21, 2012, Emma Stone [IMDb: Emma Stone] delivered a red carpet fashion moment that perfectly navigated the line between cinematic romance and youthful exuberance. Shifting away from standard gown fare, the actress chose a knee-length dress from Dolce & Gabbana’s Fall 2012 collection—a look that instantly defined her as a high-fashion darling capable of championing runway concepts.

The piece is a testament to Dolce & Gabbana’s enduring devotion to the Italian Baroque, executed in a creamy, intricate lace. The dress features a modest, round neckline and a form-flattering sheath silhouette, but its drama resides entirely in its texture and detailing. Puffed, elbow-length sleeves give the look a period feel, while bold, colorful floral embroidery—in rich reds, blues, and muted greens—is strategically placed to create a striking symmetrical design down the center and around the scalloped hemline. The contrast between the fragile lace and the vivid, almost dimensional stitching makes this a true designer outfit.

The styling decisions are masterful, ensuring the focus remains on the textural richness of the dress. The accessories are minimal and precisely chosen: a pair of nude Christian Louboutin ‘Pigalle’ patent pumps elongate the leg without competing with the ornate fabric. Her hair, styled in soft, vintage-inspired waves and accented with a few strategically placed white hair grips, subtly nods to the mid-century sensibility of the piece. This is less an action-movie celebrity look and more a tableau of romantic artistry, a reminder that the most memorable red carpet statements are often those that dare to look back while stepping forward. Stone has consistently proven herself to be one of the most exciting names on the red carpet to watch, showcasing a breadth of taste that keeps her near the top of every best dressed list. The look stands as a beautiful testament to the power of a highly detailed, non-traditional couture dress on the promotional circuit.

Ten years later, this moment still makes us ask: can we truly ever get enough of Dolce & Gabbana’s unapologetic Italian maximalism?
