Emma Stone's 'New Face' Steals the Spotlight at London Red Carpet Event

Emma Stone continued to flaunt her 'new face' while posing on the red carpet in London on Friday

RED CARPET SHOCKER: EMMA STONE UNRECOGNIZABLE AS SHE SHOWCASES NEW FACE IN LONDON

Emma Stone, 36, stunned fans with her jaw-dropping transformation on the red carpet in London on Friday. The Oscar-winning actress flaunted her "new face" while attending the Headline Gala screening of her new movie Bugonia during the 69th BFI London Film Festival at The Royal Festival Hall.

Stone's dramatic makeover has left fans and media outlets alike scratching their heads, with many speculating about possible plastic surgery procedures she may have undergone. Insiders claim that Stone's appearance has been "completely transformed," with some even describing her as looking "unrecognizable" in photos from the event.

The actress, 36, showcased her 'transformation' in a mustard yellow, custom Louis Vuitton dress after she left fans shocked with her 'unrecognizable' look earlier this month

The actress was spotted wearing a custom-made Louis Vuitton mustard yellow gown, complete with a matching color scarf slung over her arms and bronze strappy heels. She carried a brown mini trunk bag from Louis Vuitton to complement her autumnal-themed red carpet look. Stone's styling team deserves major props for creating an old Hollywood-inspired look that's both glamorous and timeless.

However, it's not just the actress's stunning ensemble that has everyone talking – it's her new facial features that are sending shockwaves through the entertainment industry. Fans have been speculating about the reasons behind Stone's dramatic makeover, with some claiming she's undergone a range of cosmetic procedures to achieve her "new face."

The rumors began circulating earlier this month when Stone posed for a photo alongside Blackpink's Lisa Manobal at the Louis Vuitton Spring/Summer 2026 show during Paris Fashion Week. Fans were baffled by Stone's seemingly changed appearance, with many taking to social media to share their theories about what plastic surgery procedure she may have allegedly undergone.

Following her much-talked-about appearance, she attended the Headline Gala screening of her new movie Bugonia during the 69th BFI London Film Festival at The Royal Festival Hall

In a recent interview with TheScholarlyNote.com, Stone spoke candidly about the film industry and her latest project Bugonia, which premiered at Telluride Film Festival on August 30. During the Q&A session, the actress made headlines when she compared her movie's plot to the real-life Luigi Mangione case.

"What's really crazy, after we had shot the film – I live in New York – we heard someone was shot up the street," Stone revealed. "It was a healthcare CEO. You know, because Luigi. You guys heard about this?"

The actress continued: "It was wild, because we had all just been in a basement [filming] together, talking about these issues and the bigger meaning of everything. It keeps hitting you that the world is so deeply fraught and terrifying in so many ways."

For the special occasion, the Oscar-winning actress wore a straight-neck, floor-length gown with a matching color scarf slung on her arms

Bugonia marks Stone's second collaboration with her Poor Things director Yorgos Lanthimos, and it's safe to say that this project has already generated a lot of buzz within the entertainment industry. The film follows two conspiracy-obsessed men who kidnap the CEO of a major company when they become convinced that she's an alien who wants to destroy the earth.

Stone plays the CEO named Michelle Fuller in the English-language remake of the 2003 South Korean film Save the Green Planet! by Jang Joon-hwan. The absurdist black comedy also stars Jesse Plemons, Stavros Halkias, and Alicia Silverstone in supporting roles.

When Bugonia hits theaters on Halloween, October 31, fans can expect a darkly comedic take on science fiction that's sure to leave them talking long after the credits roll. But for now, it's all about Stone's jaw-dropping transformation – and what exactly she did to get her "new face."

She rocked a bold red lip, which was slightly overlined to accentuate her pout, and minimal eye makeup to show off her now-seemingly-upturned, cat-like blue eyes

A TIMELINE OF STONE'S TRANSFORMATION:
