Emma Stone is, among other things, funny, beautiful, and charming.
Through it all, Stone has stayed humble and has not let the fame get the best of her.
While her positive attitude hasn’t wavered, we’ve seen her style adapt and excel over the years.
Although she had a normal childhood, young Stone knew deep down she wanted more.
And at this time, Emma Stone had the superstar looks, too.
Who was her original inspiration?
Stone toldVogue, “I got platform Skechers.
A lot of peace signs.
I cut bangs like Baby Spice because Ihad blond hair.”
Stone had to do many auditions and struggled to get roles.
So she’d send me out for all these parts where they thought: ‘What a weird 15-year-old.
It’s not going to work out!"
So in 2004, the teen took a chance and made an appearance change.
The producer ofSuperbadasked Stone to dyeher hair redfor the camera test.
She received the part in the 2007 film, and had her big movie moment at 18 years old.
Her natural funny side was well at home with the films.
I was like, “Oh my god!
I can laugh, I can smile!
I’m not going to get in trouble!”
It was interesting to really emote in that way."
A wiser-than-her-years actress, Stone discussed moving beyond acting into her hopes of producing one day as well.
I’d like to be able to do that for people."
InGhosts of Girlfriends Past, she stuck with her familiar comedy bit.
And inPaper Man,she added a bit of drama to the comedy.
Then came one of Stone’s biggest changes in roles.
She starred alongside Jesse Eisenberg and Woody Harrelson inZombieland.
I’ve never really played a woman before.
I’ve only really played girls…It’s really cool."
Not only was Stone maturing on screen but off as well.
Her fashion was shifting from young to fashionable, even having her variety of looks featured inTeen Vogue.
A quick favoriteamongst fans and critics, Stone’s wit and charm didn’t go unnoticed.
She definitely didn’t take this praise for granted.
She described the film toCinema Blend, saying, “Oh, the script was wonderful.
You feel like you struck gold or something when you read a well-written comedy part for a female.
How could that year have gotten any better?
Funny you should ask.
The almost-22-year-old received quite the early birthday present when she was askedto hostSaturday Night Livethat October.
Stone described the experience toMTV News, saying, “That’s always been my ultimate dream.
That moment before you come out those doors when Don Pardo says your name and you’re standing there …
I had never let myself imagine what that would feel like.
Stone starred in bothThe HelpandCrazy Stupid Lovethat year.
She later spoke withWmagazineabout these different roles.
“In real life, sometimes it’s uncomfortable for me not to go for the joke.
I’ve been looking at that in myself lately.
Stone’s fame and fashion went hand-in-hand.
As she took on bigger roles, she stepped it up with her style, showing class and sophistication.
One of her big moments was during the Academy Awards whenshe wore a Giambattista Valli red gown.
With great roles and equally fantastic fashion, how could Stone take it to a new level?
Well, starring in a blockbuster movie helps.
In 2012, Stonewent back to her natural blonde locksand played Gwen Stacy in the movieThe Amazing Spider-Man.
Stone spoke withAccess Hollywoodabout how she was nervous to audition for the role.
Stone proved that no movie part was too big for her when she snagged the role.
Hollywood has affected many young actors and actresses, but Stone has risen above.
In 2013, as more and more eyes were on her, she continued to do that.
When discussing withIndependentthe difficulties of being in the movie industry, the then-24-year-old kept it real.
I don’t always expect to be lucky like this.
It bothers me because I care so much about young girls.
We’re shaming each other and we’re shaming ourselves, and it sucks.”
With the intense gossip surrounding her, Stone wanted to eliminate it from her life.
Speaking withSeventeen, she shared the questions she asks herself often.
“Am I taking care of myself in a healthy way?
Am I respecting myself and being responsible?”
And her answer was yes.
Once she reached that point of acceptance, it became easier.
It really helps.”
However, the year wasn’t without its bumps too.
It’s ignited a conversation that’s very important.”
Yet again, Stone was eloquent and handled a difficult situation with grace.
She also continues to be the honest, real woman we love in interviews and press tours.
In 2016, the then-28-year-old talked about social media and the fake portrayals it can present.
It just doesn’t.
Stone definitely keeps reality in check in her own life.
That’s so exciting and fun to hear.
But I literally have no idea.
I have no idea what’s to come.
I give a shot to stay in the moment."
