Stone lands sweet Vuitton deal

-

OSCAR-WINNING actress Emma Stone has landed a deal worth up to $10 million to become the face of LVMH brand Louis Vuitton.

“Page Six TV” exclusivel­y revealed on Friday night that the “La La Land” star has been in talks with the luxury brand for nearly a year, and has just agreed to sign on with them for two years.

The deal will include glossy TV and print ads worldwide, and the star — who has recently been stepping out at events in clothes made by Louis Vuitton, will wear their highend gowns on the red carpet.

A source told us, “LVMH has been pursuing Emma for nearly a year. She was initially reluctant, but now she has agreed to be the face of the brand for two years for a figure between $6 million and $10 million.” An announceme­nt is expected soon from Paris-based LVMH.

Interestin­gly enough, the French fashion house chased Stone’s “La La Land” co-star Ryan Gosling for three years, but, “Ryan repeatedly turned Louis Vuitton down because he doesn’t do endorsemen­t deals.”

“The Danish Girl” star Alicia Vikander was most recently signed as the face of Louis Vuitton in 2015. Other stars who have appeared in campaigns for the brand include Diane Kruger, Uma Thurman, Gisele Bündchen, Pharrell Williams, Scarlett Johansson, Kanye West, Angelina Jolie, Muhammad Ali and Michelle Williams.

Reps for Stone and Louis Vuitton didn’t return requests for comment.

Stone, 28, won an Academy Award in February for her performanc­e in “La La Land.” She is currently starring as Billie Jean King in the movie “Battle of the Sexes,” and her upcoming movies include “The Favourite,” set in the court of Queen Anne in early 18th-century England. She is also appearing in “Maniac,” a 10-episode dark comedy for Netflix, with Jonah Hill.

It has been a great year for Stone, who is also the world’s highest-paid actress, having earned $26 million between June 2016 and June 2017.
