The capsule will be available from September on Mugler's online boutique and select specialty stores worldwide.
Stone, the star of films including 'Basic Instinct' and 'Casino,' surely understood the brief for the campaign images, meant to suggest a voyeuristic eye and a study of quiet tension, according to the house.
The actress is no stranger to power dressing and seductive body language.
Indeed, Stone walked in Thierry Mugler in 1992 when the California Fashion Industry Friends of AIDS Project honored the French designer in Los Angeles, opening and closing a runway show in deliciously dominatrix style.
'Acting is from your soul,' Stone, having been a model, told WWD at the time. 'Modeling is from your ego.'
The capsule collection arrives as the house gears up for its first collection under a new creative director.
As reported, Miguel Castro Freitas started April 1 and is to make his debut during Paris Fashion Week for the spring 2026 season.
The Portuguese designer is an alumnus of Sportmax, Dries Van Noten and Christian Dior Couture.
Manfred Thierry Mugler, a fashion maverick known for sharp tailoring, hourglass silhouettes and a futuristic sheen, died in 2022 at age 73.

‘F1 The Movie' Review: Brad Pitt Goes Zoom
Set in the world of Formula One racing, the easy, oh-so breezy 'F1 The Movie' wants you to believe that it's about winning and losing, talent and teamwork and all the tough love and hard work that go into Grand Prix glory. That's the pitch, though there's both more and less at play. An enjoyably arranged collection of all the visual attractions and narrative clichés that money can buy, 'F1' is very simply about the satisfactions of genre cinema and the pleasures of watching appealing characters navigate fast, exotic cars that whine like juiced-up mosquitoes. It's also about the pleasures of that ultrasmooth performance machine, Brad Pitt. At once calculated and almost touchingly sincere, the story is as formulaic as its title subject. Pitt plays Sonny Hayes, a driver who could've been, should've been, a world-class contender. Recruited for service by an old pal, Ruben (a silky Javier Bardem), Sonny gets one last proverbial chance to prove himself while facing the customary hurdles, including his past, a wary crew, a corporate tool and a hungry young rival. There are crackups, breakdowns, near-misses and some well-lit darkish nights (well, minutes) of the soul. Three women have decent speaking roles; all share at least one meaningful moment with Sonny. The whole sleek package is as hackneyed as it sounds, but when the cars and cameras zoom around the track, it scarcely matters. A great deal depends on your love of or maybe just tolerance for straightforward, ostentatious, professionally crafted spectacles that don't ask much of you but time and money. In return, you get nearly three hours of fizzy drama, some superficial peeks into a rarefied world and a studiously casual, tousled and tanned Pitt in classic Hollywood Zen master mode. Much like the movie itself, which is an enjoyable metaphor for the filmgoing experience, Pitt's star performance is nothing if not self-reflexive. To that end, the director Joseph Kosinski showcases Pitt like an old-studio attraction, bathing him in pretty light, putting him in signifying outfits — think of a coyly grinning, blue-jeaned Robert Redford circa the 1970s — and at times stripping off some of that clothing. Kosinski buffed Tom Cruise to a similar high gloss in 'Top Gun: Maverick.' As in that movie, 'F1' deploys its star for a classic setup between an individual and a community, one in which a loner-outsider rides in to deliver wisdom and near-mystical gifts. (The producers include Lewis Hamilton, a seven-time Formula One world champ, and Jerry Bruckheimer, who, with films like 'Top Gun,' helped define modern American blockbuster cinema.) Written by Ehren Kruger, the veneer-thin story opens with Sonny at Daytona, where he awakes in his van next to the speedway, fires up Zeppelin's 'Whole Lotta Love' and runs winning circles around the competition. Not long after, his former track rival, Bardem's Ruben, offers Sonny a chance to drive for a (fictional) losing Formula One team. Sonny takes it, sliding into an aerodynamic open-wheel ride amid some back story, character development, pro forma antagonism with a hotshot teammate, Joshua (Damson Idris), and a romance with the team's technical director, Kate (Kerry Condon), all elements that the filmmakers use like brick mortar to help build what is effectively a series of races into a cohesive whole.

USC Commit Earns Unique Comparison to Wrestling Legend
USC Commit Earns Unique Comparison to Wrestling Legend originally appeared on Athlon Sports. One would think a future USC Trojans player would earn comparisons to a past school legend. Yet quarterback Jonas Williams never got compared to Caleb Williams, or even Matt Leinart and Carson Palmer. Advertisement Instead he earned a comparison to a wrestling legend from World Wrestling Entertainment by one analyst. The dual-threat passer was dubbed "The Undertaker" by 247Sports recruiting analyst Andrew Ivins during Elite 11. Williams got to throw the football at the event that hosts the nation's top prep passers. So why did Ivins hand Williams the title of "Undertaker?" Did Williams tombstone piledrive his way to the top of the leaderboard? Or chokeslam the competition? Ivins described Williams as one who rose up and recovered from a rough start. Sep 7, 2024; Los Angeles, California, USA; USC Trojans quarterback Jayden Maiava (14) celebrates with teammates after scoring a touchdown against the Utah State Aggies during the fourth quarter at United Airlines Field at Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum. Jonathan Hui-Imagn ImagesJonathan Hui-Imagn Images "Jonas Williams, the Undertaker. It's like the guy that comes back alive," Ivins explained. "I thought the touch he showed, his ability to throw around different coverages, it's easy to get excited." Advertisement Williams clearly improved and showed "Undertaker" traits in front of Ivins. Becoming the guy who resurrected himself. The USC commit never took home the event's Most Valuable Player honor, though. Dia Bell of American Heritage High in Fort Lauderdale earned the MVP nod. The son of former NBA player Raja Bell also made history: He's the first Texas quarterback commit to leave Elite 11 as the tournament's MVP winner. Williams is still fueling intrigue for his USC future. The dual-threat flipped from Oregon back in February -- which set off USC's incredible rise to the top of the recruiting rankings. He's now one of 30 verbal commits before July. Related: 5-Star Guard Prospect Reveals Why He's Liking USC This story was originally reported by Athlon Sports on Jun 24, 2025, where it first appeared.

Cecilie Bahnsen Resort 2026 Collection
Cecilie Bahnsen's resort collection is a coda to her fall 2025 show. Once again the designer has tempered the runaway romance of her work with functional, yet feminized, athletic gear. So a pair of drawstring shorts is appliqued with embroidered three-dimensional flowers and the hardware takes the shape of a daisy. Unique to this offering are a series of zip-front jackets made in collaboration with Alpha Industries. There's one that has a petal-like laser-cut design, and others with multicolored, or alternatively monochrome, embroidered patches taken from a vintage gardening book with hand-tinted plates that the designer found in England. She said she loved how some of the colors bled and showed an example of a plate where the flower extends beyond the frame. It's an apt metaphor: Bahnsen will soon mark her first decade in business. In that time, she's demonstrated how romantic fantasy dresses can break out of the occasion category and permeate day-to-day life. Nature is both beautiful and willful. Some of its uncontrollability is captured in the lookbook pictures which, Bahnsen said, were taken 'on a beautiful Danish summer day with wind everywhere.' The wind really played up the buoyancy of short, girly, bouffant dresses, while it rippled more gently on narrow, semi-sheer dresses with slightly dropped waists, which felt more sophisticated. Growing strawberries with her son, the designer said, has her feeling connected to nature. As they ripen, she explained, there is 'something that spills over and inspires something new. There's a true relaxedness to it that I thought was also important for the collection: to have that real ease of how I wear it every day.'
