Braless Emma Stone stuns in a daringly plunging silk dress as she graces the red carpet at a star-studded screening of her VERY raunchy film Poor Things in London
Emma Stone looked sensational as she graced the red carpet at a gala screening of her raunchy new film Poor Things at the Barbican Center in London on Thursday.
The actress, 35, whose character satisfies herself with an apple in the Frankenstein-inspired film, stunned in a daringly plunging silver silk dress.
Emma didn’t wear a bra under the gown, which had 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.
She slipped her feet into a pair of matching heels and added extra sparkle with a pair of statement diamond earrings.

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