Emma Stone showed off her lingerie in a sheer lace top as she joined Cate Blanchett at the gala screening of Poor Things on day two at the Curzon in Mayfair on Thursday.

The actress, 35, whose character pleasures herself with an apple in the Frankenstein-inspired film, joined Cate, 54, on the red carpet for a photo.

The Australian actress, who introduced the cast to the audience during the screening, opted for a chic checked suit, combined with a beige scarf and black pumps.

Emma looked effortlessly stylish in a red and black embroidered blouse with a lace midi skirt.

She stunned in her stylish ensemble, as she donned black opaque tights and vibrant dangling earrings.

The cast of Poor Things reunited for another evening, but this time for a special screening and Q&A from Searchlight Pictures.

Emma was joined on the red carpet by co-stars Mark Ruffalo, 56, and Willem Dafoe, 68, who were both dressed in smart suits.

On Thursday, Emma graced the red carpet at a gala screening of her raunchy new film at the Barbican Center.

The actress stunned in a daringly plunging silver silk dress, going braless under the dress which featured a sheer panel to protect her modesty and quirky asymmetrical seams.

The Oscar winner completed her ensemble with a dramatic blue crepe coat that slid effortlessly over her shoulders.

The actress’s sensational turn as the uninhibited Bella Baxter in Poor Things – for which she has already been nominated for a Golden Globe – has made her a favorite to win Best Actress for a second time, after La La Land in 2017.

Yargos Lanthimos, who also directed The Favorite with Olivia Colman, is also expected to be nominated for his wildly original film.

The photo contains more than a dozen explicit sex scenes and a huge amount of profanity.

Shortly after its emergence on the festival circuit, an anti-Poor Things whisper campaign began, with some saying that the use of the word “r*tard” early in the film is problematic.

The same goes for Stone’s portrayal of Bella in the early days, after her brain has been swapped with that of her unborn baby.

The actress’s closest competition for the best actress Oscar will likely be Annette Bening, 65, whose new film Nyad also premiered in Telluride.

The film tells the story of marathon swimmer Diana Nyad, who swam from Cuba to Florida at the age of 64. Bening, nominated for an Oscar four times but never a winner, would be a sentimental favorite.

Poor Things is Stone’s first major film role since 2021’s Cruella.

An official trailer for Poor Things revealed that the Arizona-born actress’ Poor Things character Bella Baxter was resurrected by her guardian, Dr. Baxter, played by Dafoe, after she died by suicide.

Men in the trailer are baffled by Bella’s eccentric behavior, with Baxter explaining that since he brought her back to life, her head and body have been out of sync.

Stone noted in a Searchlight Pictures Bella film that “the more autonomous Bella becomes, the more challenged men seem to be by it.”

She revealed that she “wanted to play Bella because it felt like acceptance of what it is to be a woman.”

The actress also conveyed her gratitude for Yorgos, saying that he “gave me a gift for making me a producer” [Poor Things.]’

“I became aware of the whole process, which I wouldn’t have experienced if I was just acting in it,” she said. “It just felt like the perfect combination.”

A-list actress Cate Blanchett has been criticized for plugging the Voice into Parliament during a promotional interview with the ABC.

The Australian film star expressed her support for the referendum on Tuesday night, comparing Anthony Albanese’s “modest” request to the suffragette movement.

‘Can we now imagine a world in Australia where women did not have the right to vote, where their voices were not heard? No, we can’t,” she said.

‘Parliament is a place where the important issues of the day are discussed and all points of view are listened to and the government, the parliament makes laws, they make decisions.

“Parliament makes those decisions but there is a certain voice that is never really represented in an impartial way, in an eternal way, at that table and that is an Indigenous voice and it is time we evolved to include all Australians .’

But the comments – days after it was announced that the Yes23 campaign would not use famous faces to gain support – were criticized as ‘preachy’ and ‘elite’.

Several critics online told her to ‘stick to acting’, while others said it was ‘offensive’ for her to comment on Australian politics while living abroad.

Obviously, the two-time Oscar winner lives in the UK.

She said she was upset to see “anxiety being raised for a really positive moment” and urged the Australian public to embrace the constitutional recognition of a Voice to Parliament, insisting that “it primacy of parliament is not threatened’.

Blanchett was interviewed alongside filmmaker Warwick Thornton while promoting their project, The New Boy, which debuted at the Sydney Film Festival in June.

Set in 1940s Australia, the film follows an Aboriginal boy in a remote Christian orphanage.

“We have this incredible opportunity to embrace our unique history, shared history, you know, with all its missteps and all its successes, to actually evolve into a really modern democracy, like New Zealand, like Canada,” she said.

The ABC was also criticized for the interview.

One critic said it was “a Blanchett Voice infomercial, barely disguised as a movie promotion”.

“I think we’re seeing through it. Who will they roll out next? Please stop fueling racial division and ram this stuff down our throats 24/7.”

In April, Prime Minister Anthony Albanese planned to recruit Indigenous superstars to help promote The Voice, but the campaign has since shifted its focus to ordinary Australians.

A source on the campaign said fears were raised that using celebrities would backfire and that the shift was made because Australians don’t like being told what to do.

Indigenous sports superstars such as Cathy Freeman, soccer players Adam Goodes and Johnathan Thurston and tennis legends Evonne Goolagong-Cawley and Ash Barty were hand-selected earlier this year to promote the Yes campaign.

The stars will still endorse the Voice, but they won’t feature prominently in the campaign.

The shift comes after it was revealed that activists have been given an official script on how to make an “emotional connection” with voters to win their support.

A nine-page Yes23 ‘how-to’ guide obtained by Daily Mail Australia provides 14 scenarios for tough conversations with voters and the best way to win their votes.

The common concerns campaigners are expected to encounter include criticism that it won’t make any practical difference to Aboriginal people’s lives, that ‘no one will explain how it will work’ and fears that it won’t address real issues for Indigenous people .

The scripted Yes campaign responses aim to promote the idea that the vote is a “stepping stone on the path to justice,” will stand above “usual partisan politics,” and is an “important practical step.”

A referendum will be held between October and December, asking the Australian public whether a Voice to Parliament – an advisory body for Indigenous people – should be constitutionally enshrined.

Mr Albanese has described this as a ‘modest request from the heart’ and an ‘offer’ he hopes all Australians will embrace.

Cate Blanchett falls to her knees and wails in excitement after winning the award – as confetti explodes around the beloved actor

Diane Kruger en Cate Blanchett trokken de aandacht toen ze donderdag de 2023 Fragrance Foundation Awards in New York City bijwoonden.

De 46-jarige Duitse actrice – die vorige week in Canada aan het werk was – was modieus in een rode blazerjurk.

Ondertussen, Cate, 54, verbijsterd in een nauwsluitende zwarte paillettenjurk met een transparant paneel bij de buste.

Diane stylede haar felblonde lokken in een opsteekkapsel, schikte in een diepe zijscheiding en trok het uit haar gezicht.

Van haar kant liet Cate haar schouderlange lokken los, zacht getextureerd terwijl ze rond haar gezicht vielen.

Onder haar dij-grazende mini-jurk droeg Diane een doorschijnende nude onderjurk met een opstaande hals en kanten details.

Ze zette een langbenige vertoning in het nummer op en rondde het af met een paar open teen, strappy, naakte hakken.

De moeder-van-een, die een kind deelt met oude partner Norman Reedus, droeg een paar sierlijke gouden oorbellen.

Ze zag er prachtig uit in een volledig gezicht van make-up met een roségouden oogschaduw om haar ogen te laten uitkomen.

Haar wangen waren bestrooid met een zachte, roze blos en de volledige blik werd onderbroken door een perzikkleurige tint op haar pruillip.

De oude entertainer droeg haar bezittingen in een glinsterende gouden clutch terwijl ze over de rode loper liep.

Diane werd gezien terwijl ze zich vermengde met modeontwerper Jason Wu, evenals ballerina Misty Copeland.

Wu, 40, zag er geweldig uit terwijl hij een geheel zwart pak wiegde met een overhemd met knopen onder zijn blazer met knopen.

Cate zag er verrukkelijk uit in haar avondkleding, die haar gespierde armen ontblootte in het mouwloze ontwerp.

De jurk had een sexy, diep decolleté dat haar parmantige decolleté plaagde en had ook uitsparingen aan de zijkant.

Over het doorschijnende materiaal van de look was overal een meerkleurig steendetail te zien.

De zilveren schermsirene pronkte met een korte, melkwitte manicure en versierde haar vingers met meerdere ringen.

Ten slotte verhoogde Blanchett haar ensemble met een paar torenhoge zwarte hakken, waardoor haar lichaam groter werd.

Ze zag er typisch prachtig uit in een volledig gezicht van complementaire make-up bestaande uit matte perzikkleurige tinten.

Misty, 40, ging voor een klassieke vrouwelijke look in een getextureerde, off-the-shoulder A-lijn zwarte jurk.

De levenslange balletdanseres trok haar donkere haar in een lage, lange vlecht met een diepe middenscheiding.

Misty sloeg een halsketting en armbanden over, maar werkt met statement-making, bungelende druppelvormige oorbellen.

Het aansluitende lijfje van de jurk accentueerde de sierlijke taille van de ster en ze schoof haar voeten in een paar puntige zwarte hakken met strikaccenten.

De inwoner van Kansas City, Missouri zag er schattig uit met haar zorgvuldig gevormde volle wenkbrauwen.

Ze vestigde de aandacht op haar grote, bruine ogen door ze te omlijnen met donkere eyeliner en langwerpige mascara.

Ze ging met een korte, glanzende naakte nagel en droeg een satijnen, champagnekleurige clutch.

Actrice Keke Palmer koos ook een zwarte jurk voor de jaarlijkse gelegenheid, die werd gehouden in het David H. Koch Theatre in Lincoln Center.

De 29-jarige kersverse moeder pronkte met haar rondborstige decolleté in haar diepe look, die dunne bandjes had.

De vloerlange jurk klampte zich vast aan haar rondingen en trok naar binnen bij haar taille, waardoor ze een zandlopersilhouet kreeg.

Michelle Pfeiffer, 65, zag er jeugdig uit in een zwart ensemble met een diepe blazer.

Ze sloeg de mouwen van het jasje om en maakte een knoop vast, wat ze combineerde met een lange rok.

De Scarface-actrice droeg haar zijdezachte blonde lokken in een diep middenscheiding en was steil gestyled.

Ze stopte een zwartleren handtas onder haar arm terwijl ze poseerde voor foto’s op de step-and-repeat.

De inwoner van Californië was in een goed humeur terwijl ze glimlachte met een licht gezicht van make-up die de kenmerken accentueerde.

Iconische modeontwerper Vera Wang, 73, was ook aanwezig voor de affaire en arriveerde in een zwarte bandeau en lange, dramatische rok.

Ze ontblootte haar middenrif in de gedurfde look en accessoriseerde zich met een dikke gouden manchet die om haar biceps werd gedragen.

Wang droeg haar lange, koperkleurige haar steil en in een ongedefinieerde zijscheiding, waarbij de lokken over een kant van haar schouder vielen.

Tijdens het evenement van donderdagavond waren Nicolas Hieronimus en Annie Flipo de winnaars.

Hieronimus is de chief-executive-officer van L’Oréal en Flipo is de meesterparfumeur bij IFF.

Hieronimus was de Hall of Fame Honoree en Flipo was de Honoree voor Lifetime Achievement.

De jaarlijkse soiree bracht de internationale geurgemeenschap samen en vierde de prestaties van mensen in 20 prijscategorieën.
