Emma Stone’s recent appearance at the New York Film Festival (NYFF) captured significant online attention. The two-time Oscar winner made waves at the event with her bold hairstyle.
The 35-year-old actress attended the 62nd New York Film Festival (NYFF) primarily to promote her latest project, A Real Pain. She was accompanied by her husband, Dave McCary, and her ex-boyfriend, Kieran Culkin, who stars in the film alongside Jesse Eisenberg.
Stone dazzled on the red carpet in an airy chevron gown by Louis Vuitton, which had made its debut just days earlier at Paris Fashion Week. The gown showcased a sheer beige fabric with a striking black chevron pattern, complemented by a black high-neck bodysuit underneath.

She completed her look with strappy black peep-toe heels and minimal accessories, opting for a tiered gold necklace embellished with Louis Vuitton charms.
Although Stone was there to promote her movie with a Louis Vuitton look with her husband and former partner, her bold hairstyle stole the spotlight.
Stone was sporting a wig that fans found exceptionally beautiful. Everyone admired how well the wig complemented her and how natural it appeared. Apparently, the actress shaved her head for her upcoming film, Bugonia.

Emma Stone always commits fully to her projects, but what she did for her upcoming Yorgos Lanthimos film, Bugonia takes it to the next level.
Obviously, it’s no secret by now, that Stone went bald for her upcoming movie. And yes, she is marking her return to another collaboration with Lanthimos.

Fans are sure because Lanthimos’ upcoming movie is a remake of the South Korean film Save the Green Planet!, in which the male CEO character has his head shaved by his captors.
Given that the film is a remake, it likely influenced Stone’s choice to undergo a similar transformation for her character. However, audiences will only see her complete transformation when the film is released, which is scheduled for November 7, 2025.
Until then, Stone is keeping her shaved head under a wig and sometimes opting for a beanie. As previously mentioned, she sported a wig at the NYFF, which sparked extensive online discussion.
One of the fans even commented that,
“I’m pretty sure this is a wig, but I love this color on her. It really brings out her eyes.”
Similarly, another wrote,
“I love red hair on her, and this shade in particular is gorgeous on her. So flattering.”
Numerous comments flooded in, praising Emma for her stunning wig, with many fans initially believing it was her natural hair due to its realistic appearance. However, a viral clip revealed her adjusting the wig at the NYFF.
In the brief video, Stone was seen fixing her hair after hugging Kieran Culkin’s wife, Jazz Charton.
