As brand ambassador for Louis Vuitton, Emma Stone hit the California desert in floaty dresses from designer Nicolas Ghesquière’s pre-fall 2018 collection for the French luxury brand.

But this was no hippy pastoral utopia: the Oscar-winning actress posed for Craig McDean brandishing an array of high-end Capucines handbags, including one version in ultraluxurious red alligator leather.

The house said the images, some featuring a rusty billboard-sized letter V in the background, embody “a heroine who is daring, confident and always on the move.”

The campaign, part of the brand’s Spirit of Travel series, will break in the May issue of Harper’s Bazaar U.K., scheduled for release on March 30, followed by the May, June and July issues of leading magazines worldwide.

“I am very happy and proud to be working with a house as passionate as Louis Vuitton, as well as with the unique style and creations of Nicolas Ghesquière,” Stone said in a statement.
