Emma Stone Is Louis Vuitton's Newest Ambassador

Emma Stone is on a roll right now with her career. She’s coming off a wave of praise and publicity from her Oscar-winning performance in La La Land, a role that was followed up this year by another well-reviewed performance in Battle of the Sexes, in which she plays tennis legend Billie Jean King. Now, she has even more news for us: Stone is officially the new face of Louis Vuitton.

According to Page Six, the French brand had been pursuing the actress for nearly a year. But apparently biding her time paid off for Stone: according to a source in Page Six, she’s in for a two-year deal that will pay out between $6 and $10 million (which, um, how do we get that gig?).

Stone’s in good company, too: she joins Alicia Vikander and Selena Gomez as official ambassadors to the brand.

The brand’s creative director, Nicolas Ghesquière, confirmed the deal in an Instagram Saturday night. Posting a picture of himself and Stone,
he wrote, “I am truly happy #emmastone is joining #louisvuitton today as a new ambassador ?”

The Louis Vuitton Instagram account also confirmed the news with a picture of Ghesquière and Stone, who will appear in print and television advertisements and wear the brand on red carpets as part of her ambassadorship. They wrote, “#LouisVuitton is delighted to announce Emma Stone as the latest ambassador for the Maison. A muse and friend of Louis Vuitton Women’s Artistic Director @NicolasGhesquiere, Emma prepares to walk the red carpet for her latest movie #BattleoftheSexes in a #LVSS18 gown.”

Her first event as a face of the brand? She wore that gorgeous Louis Vuitton dress in the pics above on Saturday night to the 2017 BFI London Film Festival—and looked gorgeous:

There’s no shame in speaking openly about or seeking help for your mental health, but if you’re nervous to do so, let Emma Stone be your guide. The Academy Award winner has done both and, in the process, made huge strides in destigmatizing issues like anxiety and panic attacks.

During an interview with Stephen Colbert on the Late Show on Tuesday to promote her new film, Battle of the Sexes, in which she plays tennis champ Billie Jean King, Emma revealed that she’s been in therapy for anxiety since she was seven years old and shared a picture she drew in one of her sessions. “I was nine. I was in therapy at that time, I drew this at therapy,” she said, then described the drawing, which has “I’m bigger than my anxiety!” written across the top in neat handwriting. “This is me, I guess, it’s really great artistry, with my shoes. And then this is anxiety here,” the 28-year-old said, pointing to a tiny green figure standing next to her in the picture. “It’s a little green monster that looks a little bit, as someone backstage said, a uterus with some ovaries. But I didn’t mean for it to be hormonally related in any way—as I said, I was nine.”

The La La Land star’s years of therapy have given her much more than just a collection of creative illustrations. “I was a very, very, very anxious child, and I had a lot of panic attacks. I benefitted in a big way from therapy,” she said, adding that acting and improv were also a huge help in learning to cope with her anxiety. And although her panic attacks have mostly gone away (“knock on wood”), Emma noted, “I still have anxiety to this day.”

Emma has been refreshingly open about her mental health issues many times before, and has even previously spoken about the meaning behind her elementary school drawings of the little green anxiety monster. “I wrote this book [in therapy] called I Am Bigger Than My Anxiety that I still have,” she told Rolling Stone last year. “I drew a little green monster on my shoulder that speaks to me in my ear and tells me all these things that aren’t true. And every time I listen to it, it grows bigger. If I listen to it enough, it crushes me. But if I turn my head and keep doing what I’m doing—let it speak to me, but don’t give it the credit it needs—then it shrinks down and fades away.”
