‘La La Land’ has broken the record for being the first movie to be awarded 7 awards during the Golden Globes and we’re currently obsessed with the soundtrack and the fashion in the movie. It’s a must-watch and if you haven’t watch it, make your way to the cinemas today or catch the trailer below. (How can you say no when Emma Stone, Ryan Gosling, and John Legend is in it!)
Costume designer for the movie, Mary Zophres custom-made all of Mia’s (played by Emma Stone) dance sequence dresses, including the infamous floral-printed yellow one worn during the Hollywood Hills number.
Before the movie began shooting, Zophres studied Stone’s real-life red-carpet moments to get some inspiration and found her wearing a canary yellow Atelier Versace gown from a “The Amazing Spider-Man 2” promo appearance in 2014. “It’s stunning on Emma and I pitched [that color] to Damien for that sequence,” Zophres says.
As told on Fashionista.com, “We had our first fitting and Emma started spinning around in this dress,” the costume designer says. “She loved it. I loved it. She and I thought at the same time, ‘why don’t we just use this fabric?'” To incorporate the delicate print, Zophres recruited ager-dyer Rob Phillips to precisely hand-paint Matisse-inspired florals, adding a couture element to polyester from a fabric store that’s probably in your local mall.
So sadly, it’s a one-of-a-kind dress which we can only watch from afar and not get in-stores but we’re pretty sure similar designs will be sold soon!
And she’s on a marigold train with her recent outfits in similar shades. Are you a big fan of the marigold colour like Emma is?
