Emma Stone looks ravishing in this yellow frock designed by Versace. It's made of ostrich feather's and goes perfect with the gorgeous Lanvin necklace on the new issue of Elle magazine’s July 2011 edition.
On having braces and wearing glasses while growing up... “And I sucked my thumb until I was 11, so I had this expander in. I was a good-looking kid. I never felt, like, dorky. I was just like, ‘Yup, these are my braces. I’ve had them forever.’”
On not being recognized as easily in public with her new look... “I mean, I haven’t been around very long. I can’t expect everyone to have seen The House Bunny. Oh God. I am having such waves of internal embarrassment, which now I’m admitting on a tape recorder. This is so one of the things I should keep in my head.”
On taking up baking in part to control her nervous energy... “It’s very controlled. You know, if you put in the same amount of whatever is in the recipe, it will come out all right.”
On whether celebrity relationships have a shorter shelf life... “I don’t think that’s true. Maybe. But there’s a fair amount that do work….I’m optimistic.”
On her career... “It’s so funny how different life could have been. I went to so many auditions. I remember my audition for Heroes. I went in right after Hayden Panettiere. Now here we are in this rented house. It feels like it just happened.
On wanting to be believable in her roles... “I like to look like a person. It drives me crazy when you see women in movies playing teachers, and they have biceps. It totally takes me out of the movie. I start thinking, Wow, that actress playing this part really looks great!”
On how her career has grown... “These past two years, I’ve stopped having to remind myself to be present, which has been the greatest gift. Because I know it’s so fleeting. I’ll kick my ass later on if I don’t enjoy it right now. But it does make you realize that so much of the joy of it is the journey. The struggle is such a lovely part of it.”
