Emma Stone, Ana de Armas & More Stars Light Up Louis Vuitton’s Paris Party

Paris Fashion Week doesn’t do quiet Mondays. As the city raced toward the Spring/Summer 2027 shows on Tuesday, Louis Vuitton kicked off the pre-show festivities in style, hosting a private party on Monday night that pulled in one of the strongest guest lists of the entire week. Emma Stone, Ana de Armas, Chloë Grace Moretz, Sophie Thatcher, Jaden Smith, and the Haim sisters — Danielle and Alana — were all in the room, and nearly everyone arrived dressed head to toe in the house that was throwing the party.

These pre-show dinners have become almost as big a spectacle as the runway itself. For the fashion houses, they’re a chance to show love to their ambassadors and muses; for the celebrities, they’re the easiest high-fashion flex of the season — no front-row jitters required, just show up looking great. And this one had the added weight of timing: it landed less than 24 hours before Nicolas Ghesquière’s spring 2027 collection would hit the runway, making it the official unofficial start of the biggest night on the Paris calendar.

Emma Stone, the Reigning Louis Vuitton Loyalist

Nobody at the party had deeper ties to the brand than Emma Stone. She’s been a Louis Vuitton ambassador since 2017, one of the longest-running celebrity partnerships in fashion, and she shows up for it like clockwork — year after year, season after season, never phoning it in. On Monday night, she wore a gray buttoned-up jacket with a subtle paisley print, paired with straight-leg jeans, per Vogue’s breakdown of the looks. It was classic Emma: polished but unfussy, expensive but never trying too hard.

She’ll be front row for the show on Tuesday, naturally. That’s part of the ambassador contract, sure, but it’s also just what Emma Stone does — she treats her fashion duties with the same earnestness she brings to everything else. And frankly, the partnership has been a perfect fit. Vuitton gets a two-time Oscar winner whose taste runs toward the offbeat-but-classy; Emma gets a fashion house that keeps her looking like the coolest person in any room without ever making her look like she’s trying.

It’s been a characteristically busy stretch for the actress, too. After winning her second Academy Award for Poor Things — a performance that had critics reaching for every superlative in the book — she reunited with director Yorgos Lanthimos for Kinds of Kindness, which played in competition at Cannes, and then again for Bugonia. That run — three collaborations with one of cinema’s strangest and most distinctive directors — says a lot about where Emma’s head is at. She could coast on prestige dramas and studio paydays for the rest of her career. Instead she keeps betting on weird, ambitious filmmakers. The Paris fashion crowd eats that up; art-house credibility and high-fashion polish are basically the same currency here.

Ana de Armas Brings the Star Power

If Emma Stone was the house ambassador doing her duty, Ana de Armas was the guest everyone was happy to see. The Cuban-born actress stepped out in a long-sleeve blouse and carried a statement Louis Vuitton box-style clutch with gold trim — the kind of bag that practically photographs itself. It’s the sort of look that works precisely because it doesn’t scream; Ana’s fashion sense has always leaned toward quiet confidence, and she nailed it again.

Her star has only risen in recent years, and it keeps finding new gears. After breaking through to mainstream audiences with Knives Out, she earned an Oscar nomination for playing Marilyn Monroe in Blonde — a divisive film, to say the least, but nobody argued about her performance. Then came Ballerina, the John Wick spinoff that put her at the center of the franchise’s signature action ballet, proving she could carry a big-budget action film as a lead. That’s a résumé with range: prestige biopic one year, action blockbuster the next, and a Bond film (No Time to Die) in between for good measure.

Her appearance in Paris is a reminder of how much fashion week has become part of the celebrity promotional calendar. It’s not just about the clothes anymore — these appearances generate the kind of global photo coverage that no press junket can buy, and for an actress whose recent work has spanned multiple genres and audiences, staying visible in the fashion capital of the world is just smart business.

Music, Movies, and Fashion Royalty Round Out the Room

The Haim sisters — Danielle and Alana — were on hand representing the music world, and they looked every bit the cool-girl rock royalty they are. Danielle went with a black jacket and denim jeans, while Alana chose a black leather jacket over a white “Ghesquière Girl” heart graphic t-shirt, accessorized with a Louis Vuitton handbag. That tee, for the uninitiated, is a direct nod to Nicolas Ghesquière, Vuitton’s women’s artistic director — wearing it to a Vuitton party is basically saying the quiet part out loud, and Alana pulled it off with the same ease she brings to everything.

The trio of sisters (Este was presumably elsewhere) has always had an effortless relationship with fashion, which makes sense — their whole brand is the kind of Laurel Canyon cool that fashion houses love to borrow. They’ve been fashion-week fixtures for years, and they never look out of place in a room full of actors.

Sophie Thatcher, meanwhile, has been having one of those years where you can feel the momentum building in real time. She turned heads with a black miniskirt and matching leather boots at the party, a look with just the right amount of edge. The actress broke out with Yellowjackets — playing young Natalie was the kind of role that marks you as someone to watch — and followed it up with Heretic, the A24 horror film that gave her some of the most acclaimed work of her career. In an industry constantly hunting for the next generation of leading ladies, Sophie is one of those names that keeps coming up, and fashion houses know it. Inviting the buzziest young actress in town to your party is Fashion Week 101.

Chloë Grace Moretz attended with her wife, Kate Harrison, which added a little romance to the evening. Chloë has been acting since she was a kid — Kick-Ass, Let Me In, Carrie — and she’s navigated the child-star-to-adult-actor transition with more grace than most. Her recent years have been quieter on the blockbuster front, but she remains a fashion-week regular, and showing up with Kate made for one of the night’s sweetest moments.

And then there was Jaden Smith, looking sharp in an avant-garde ensemble. Nobody was surprised — Jaden has been fashion’s favorite eccentric for over a decade now. He’s one of those rare celebrities who treats getting dressed as a genuine art form rather than a chore, and in a room full of people wearing the same brand, he still managed to stand out. That’s a skill.

The Show Still to Come

All of this, of course, was just the warm-up. The real main event — Ghesquière’s Spring/Summer 2027 show — was set for Tuesday, with Emma Stone and much of the party’s guest list expected in the front row. The designer’s collections have a habit of setting the tone for the season, and this one arrives at a moment when Paris Fashion Week has been absolutely stacked with celebrity sightings.

Just the day before, the Chanel Spring/Summer 2027 show at the Grand Palais drew Nicole Kidman with her daughter Faith, plus Dua Lipa, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, Olivia Wilde, and Marion Cotillard. The Valentino show over the weekend brought out Cynthia Erivo, Colman Domingo, and Alexander Skarsgård alongside Anna Wintour herself. Paris has been operating at full celebrity saturation for days now, and the Louis Vuitton party was the fashion house’s way of making sure it owned Monday night before the runway did its talking on Tuesday.

That’s how fashion week works now, really. The shows are the official program, but the dinners, the parties, the after-parties — that’s where the real currency changes hands. A private room full of the right people generates as much buzz as any runway, and Louis Vuitton knows exactly what it’s doing. Put Emma Stone and Ana de Armas in the same room, add a few of music and film’s brightest young stars, keep it intimate, and let the photos do the rest.

If Monday night was any indication, the house is heading into Tuesday’s show with all the momentum it could ask for. The clothes are coming. But for one night in Paris, the guest list was the main event.
