“Not Emma Stone Anymore,” Emma Stone Surprised Everyone With Her New Look

Emma Stone turned heads at the Eddington premiere in Los Angeles—and not just because of her stunning Louis Vuitton ensemble. While the Oscar-winning actress looked as radiant as ever, fans couldn’t help but notice something... different. Social media quickly lit up with comments, questions, and wild guesses. Has her style changed? Did she do something new with her look? One thing’s for sure: everyone’s talking, and not just about the dress.

A new role, a new glow

Emma looked radiant on the red carpet as she joined co-stars Joaquin Phoenix, Luke Grimes, and other members of the Eddington cast. Directed by Ari Aster, the film centers on a small-town sheriff—played by Phoenix—whose unexpected decision to run for mayor shakes up his marriage and stirs controversy in a deeply divided community.

Stone plays the sheriff’s wife in what she says was a deeply rewarding role. “We rehearsed. We went through everything,” she shared at the premiere. She added that while rehearsals aren’t always her favorite thing, this time it felt right. “This was one of the good ones,” she said.

The bee moment that took over the Internet.

Before Eddington even hit theaters, the cast was already making headlines. During its Cannes premiere last month, a funny moment went viral when Pedro Pascal and Austin Butler tried to swat away a bee hovering around Emma on the red carpet.

When asked about it later, Emma laughed and joked that it could’ve been a perfect promotion for her upcoming movie Bugonia, where bees play a big role. “Wouldn’t that have been an incredible idea?” she said with a grin. “It’s just Pedro trying to help me out, carrying a bee around in his pocket and setting it loose.”

Fans think Emma looks different, and they’re not holding back.

Many fans praised the transformation as chic and refreshing, but not everyone was on board. On social media, some longtime admirers admitted they’re still struggling to accept the change, saying things like, “It’s practical but so severe on any woman.” and “Just no.”

Some reactions were more playful, with one fan writing, “She may not be Emma Stone anymore, but she’s beautiful,” and another one adding, “She looks completely different.” Whether it’s a new skincare routine, lighting, makeup, or yes, maybe something more, it’s clear that people noticed a shift in her look. But through all the noise, one thing hasn’t changed: Emma’s confidence is unmistakable.

Fresh photos of Simon Cowell have sparked just as much buzz, with many fans stunned by how different he looks these days.
