Sophie Turner and Emma Stone stole the spotlight at Louis Vuitton’s Cruise 2026 show in Avignon. Discover their bold outfits, celebrity reactions, and behind-the-scenes glamour from the star-studded event

The historic Palais des Papes in Avignon, France, transformed into a fashion epicenter as Louis Vuitton unveiled its Cruise 2026 collection, with Sophie Turner and Emma Stone headlining a front row packed with A-listers. From gem-printed shorts to ethereal floral dresses, the event blended medieval grandeur with futuristic style—a signature of creative director Nicolas Ghesquière.

1. Sophie Turner’s Bold Sartorial Statement

Turner channeled “regal elegance meets cool-girl edge” in a navy gemstone-printed co-ord set—a structured zip-up jacket paired with micro shorts, accessorized with chunky white heels and a sleek clutch 68. Harper’s Bazaar praised the look as a “sartorial daydream,” while Tom + Lorenzo cheekily noted, “The shoes are a joke, but the print works” 56.

Behind the scenes, Turner quipped about the papal palace’s ambiance: “I feel like I’m in Conclave” 7, referencing the venue’s Gothic gravitas. Her playful vibe extended to interviews, where she compared herself to a Hugo Spritz: “Bubbly, sweet, and refreshing” .

2. Emma Stone’s Bohemian Elegance

Stone dazzled in a ruffled blue floral maxi dress with crystal embellishments, embodying “boho glamour” (Harper’s Bazaar)2. Critics debated the “dangling silver crystals” (“all that shit on it,” per Tom + Lorenzo), but fans adored the whimsical touch5. The Oscar winner paired it with a pixie cut and silver clutch, fresh from promoting Eddington at Cannes .

Stone’s LV loyalty was evident: Days earlier, she wore a similar navy lace gown at Cannes, cementing her status as a “Louis Vuitton It girl”.

3. Star-Studded Front Row & Social Buzz

The event drew Cate Blanchett (in leather pants and a Bowie-esque blouse), Saoirse Ronan (black lace dress), and Pharrell Williams (lantern-shaped LV bag)18. British Vogue’s Facebook post highlighted the “antidote to Cannes’ red carpet” with Emma, Cate, and Sophie 3, while Instagram buzzed over Jaden Smith’s street-lantern accessory.

4. The Venue & Collection Highlights

The 14th-century papal palace, a UNESCO site, hosted its first large-scale fashion show, with a runway designed by Es Devlin. Ghesquière’s collection mixed “medieval fresco hues” with ’70s disco flair—think chainmail blouses and lurex dresses synced to a synth soundtrack.

5. After-Party & Quirky Moments

Guests like Catherine Deneuve and Pharrell toasted with Ruinart champagne, while a Pomeranian named Lulu in an LV collar charmed Stone and Ronan.

Final Thought:
Louis Vuitton’s Cruise 2026 merged history and haute couture, with Turner and Stone epitomizing its bold yet romantic spirit. As Tatler noted, the night was “less gilt, more monogrammed glamour”.
