Emma Stone just gave Great Expectations the sequel it didn’t know it needed.

Yesterday in New York, the Oscar-winning actress stepped out in a vintage Donna Karan skirt set — the very same emerald look that Gwyneth Paltrow wore in Alfonso Cuarón’s 1998 romantic drama. Cue the collective gasp from every Pinterest board that’s ever existed.

Arriving at The Late Show With Stephen Colbert, Stone wore the look almost exactly as Paltrow did — a slinky slip skirt and matching cardigan, styled with Manolo Blahnik thong sandals and the kind of effortless hair and makeup that screams “I woke up like this (but make it A24).”

For those who remember, Paltrow’s ensemble wasn’t just an outfit — it was the look that defined ’90s minimalism: soft, sultry, understated. The kind of fashion moment that lived rent-free in our collective consciousness, somewhere between Carolyn Bessette’s street style and Calvin Klein perfume ads.

Back in 2021, Paltrow told Vogue that her Great Expectations wardrobe was “pretty much all Donna Karan,” explaining that the green palette was a happy accident that became instantly iconic. “It was perfectly nineties, elegant, and perfect for the character,” she said. Translation: she knew she did something unforgettable.

And unforgettable it was. That fountain make-out scene with Ethan Hawke? Immortalized. The outfit? Cemented in fashion history.

Now, Stone — in the midst of her Bugonia press tour — is reminding everyone why the look worked in the first place. It’s sensual without trying, feminine without fuss. In an era of “loud luxury” and hyper-trends, her quiet callback to the ’90s feels like the kind of rebellion we didn’t know we needed.
