In a world where celebrities often seem out of touch with everyday life, Emma Stone made us all feel seen.During the 50th anniversary celebration of Saturday Night Live,Stone stepped onto the red carpet in a custom Louis Vuitton scarlet gown. Instead of a purse, she carried a candy-striped box of popcorn, and two deep pockets on the dress were filled to the brim with medium-sized portions of the movie snack.
A Moment of Unity Over Popcorn
As Stone made her entrance, stray kernels popped free from her pockets, creating a trail of edible confetti. This playful, unexpected detail resonated with audiences everywhere, notably those who have been known to sneak a snack into the cinema. It was a refreshing reminder that fashion doesn’t have to be serious all the time.
P Pockets: A Fashion Staple Overdue?
Stone’s ensemble also highlighted the ongoing debate about pockets in women’s clothing. While men’s fashion has long incorporated functional pockets, women have frequently enough been relegated to external bags or tiny, impractical pockets. The “#WeWantPockets” movement on social media has been advocating for change for years, pointing out the inequality inherent in this design choice.
“I swear the biggest gender injustice is fake pockets,” one user wrote in 2020. “#WeWantPockets” was not only a digital battle cry but also a way for women to highlight the inequality that still permeates the clothing industry today.
The absence of functional pockets in women’s clothing has a long history. Pockets were sewn into men’s trousers in the 17th century, while women’s fashion lagged behind, featuring only external tie-on pockets. This disparity persisted, and the handbag emerged as a solution.
It wasn’t until much later that pockets began appearing in the linings of women’s garments.
Breaking Barriers: Notable Pockets in Women’s History
While progress has been slow, there have been notable milestones in women’s pocket history. During World War II, Elsa Schiaparelli designed a dinner jacket with deep pockets designed to accommodate gas masks. More recently, images of the late Queen Elizabeth II casually strolling with her hands in her dress pockets caused a stir amongst royalists. Now,Emma Stone adds another brick to this ever-evolving story.
What are Fiona Louise’s thoughts on the meaning of functional pockets in women’s fashion, especially given Emma Stone’s recent outfit choice?
