Seth Rogen and Emma Stone enjoyed popcorn from her dress at SNL's 50th anniversary. CNN
Emma Stone brought humour and practicality to the red carpet at Saturday Night Live’s 50th-anniversary event. Dressed in a stunning red halterneck gown, she surprised everyone by using its deep pockets to store popcorn. As she walked in with her husband, Dave McCary, pieces of popcorn spilled onto the floor, making the moment even more amusing. Instead of carrying a traditional purse, she held a striped popcorn box, happily snacking as cameras flashed.
The gown, custom-made by a top fashion house, combined elegance with a playful touch. Whether the designers intended the deep pockets for snacks remains unknown, but Stone’s choice resonated with movie lovers everywhere. Many social media users loved the relatable moment, praising her for making fashion fun.
Her outfit stood out because modern red carpets rarely feature humour. Celebrities often take their looks seriously, wearing designer pieces that belong in museums. Yet, Stone embraced a different approach, proving that fashion can be both stylish and amusing.

Another detail caught my attention—pockets. Women’s fashion has long lacked them, sparking debates for years. Historically, men’s clothing has included built-in pockets, while women had to use external tie-on versions. Even as fashion evolved, handbags became the norm before designers started adding practical pockets to dresses.
The lack of pockets remains a hot topic. Many women express frustration over fake or tiny pockets in their clothing. A popular online hashtag has demanded real pockets for years, calling attention to this overlooked issue.
Some designers have made progress. In the 1940s, fashion pioneer Elsa Schiaparelli designed a dinner jacket with deep pockets to hold a gas mask. Even Queen Elizabeth II once made headlines for casually resting her hands in the pockets of her elegant dress. Now, Emma Stone has added her own moment to fashion history, turning a red carpet-event into a celebration of comfort and convenience.
