Emma Stone took to the red carpet at the 2022 Met Gala in a short, simple white dress. Fashion commentators speculated that she was casually interpreting this year's theme, "Gilded Glamour," as a nod to the flapper era of the 1920s or the influence of ballet on American fashion. However, it was later revealed that the 33-year-old actress was in fact making a statement about sustainability, re-wearing her Louis Vuitton wedding dress at a big event.

The Oscar winner, who initially postponed her spring nuptials due to COVID, secretly married Dave McCurry in the summer of 2020; the two met when Stone hosted "Saturday Night Live" in late 2016, their relationship was confirmed in 2017, and their engagement in 2019 announced the couple's engagement in 2019. They also have a daughter, Louise Jean, due in March 2021. The couple did not release any photos from their wedding, but in an Instagram post with the caption "Sartorial Revival" in part, Louis Vuitton said that the short dress, which featured stone illusion straps and a feather-trimmed hem, was originally designed as her wedding She revealed that it was designed and worn as an after-party look. We endorse sustainable, sentimental fashion queens.

Stone was not the only one to upcycle on the Met Gala red carpet, according to the press release. "In keeping with Louis Vuitton's commitment to cyclical creativity and the personal belief of Nicolas Ghesquière, Artistic Director of the Women's Collection, guests joined the Maison in further extending the life and reputation of Louis Vuitton's creations.
