Makeup artist Nina Park refined Emma Stone's signature rose-taupe lip for the 98th Academy Awards. The look featured a blurred edge, frosted white eyeshadow and fluffy brows, complementing Stone's Louis Vuitton gown. Stone was nominated for best actress in Bugonia.
At the 2026 Oscars, held as the 98th Academy Awards, Emma Stone appeared on the red carpet in a sequinned, cap-sleeve Louis Vuitton gown. Celebrity makeup artist Nina Park, who regularly works with Stone for high-profile events, crafted an evolved version of the actress's favored beauty style: a rose-taupe lip with soft, diffused edges, paired with fine skin and frosty, iridescent white eyeshadow that echoed the gown's shimmer. Park described the overall effect as “polished but still effortless, which always feels right for Emma.” Stone's nomination for best actress came for her role in Bugonia and marked another collaboration with Park, whose clients also include Zoë Kravitz, Jessie Buckley—who recently won an Oscar—and Lily Collins. The New York Times referred to Park's roster as resembling “an awards show ballot.” Park detailed her lip technique: starting with a lip pencil applied slightly beyond the natural lip line for subtle shape, then blending the edges inward to erase any harsh outline. She pressed Louis Vuitton Beauty Lipstick Satin in shade 102 Passport to Paris into the center and diffused it with a brush or fingertip for a natural depth. For the brows, Park brushed them in their natural direction, filled sparse areas with a fine pencil, applied a light brow gel, and pressed the texture with a finger to achieve a fluffy, matte finish without shine. “Emma loves a lip that has a bit of depth to it, something that grounds the face but still feels soft,” Park shared. This blurred lip method has gained traction on social media, with Park's feathery, sensual style positioned as a key beauty trend for 2026.
