With award show season officially underway, celebrities have been stepping out in one glamorous gown after another—but Emma Stone has been embracing a more relaxed, effortless approach. The actress has turned red carpet moments into understated style statements, opting for comfortable, airy ensembles that still feel polished and chic.

Prior to her appearance at the Golden Globe Awards on Sunday, Jan. 11, the La La Land star attended the 2026 AFI Awards Luncheon on Jan. 9 wearing a custom Calvin Klein Collection look. The minimalist ensemble featured a white poplin, strapless, hand-pleated top paired with a matching belted skirt, perfectly capturing the brand’s clean, elegant aesthetic.

Emma Stone Wows In A White Strapless Set At AFI Awards

The Poor Things actress accessorized with Repossi rings and a sleek ear cuff, completed the look with white sandal heels, and styled her short red hair in a relaxed low bun for an effortlessly refined finish.

Two days later, Stone brought the same vibe to the Golden Globes red carpet in a custom butter-yellow Louis Vuitton two-piece. The look featured a satin, sleeveless, boxy boatneck crop top that subtly highlighted her midriff, paired with a low-rise, floor-length column skirt. Intricate beaded fringe embellished the skirt, creating fluid movement as she made her way down the carpet.

Did Emma Stone Undergo Cosmetic Surgery?

While Emma looked polished and confident in both ensembles, many fans couldn’t help but focus on her new appearance, sparking online speculation about an alleged cosmetic procedure that they believe has given her a noticeably refreshed look.

Opinions appear split across social platforms: Reddit users have criticized the look as obvious and overly dramatic, while TikTok commenters have been praising the results, applauding what they believe was a subtle mini facelift and the surgeon behind it.

Internet Reacts To Emma Stone's 'New Face'

“Crazy how the celebs have new faces every 2 years and we gotta act normal about it somehow lol,” said one user on Reddit. A second commented, “New Emma Stone looks like old Emma Stone with a beauty filter.” A third noted, “When Jesse Plemmons accused her of being an alien in Begonia, saying, ‘What, I’m supposed to believe you’re a 40-year-old woman?’ I felt that. But apparently she’s only 37, in which case why so much work done already?!”

The energy was different over on TikTok, as fans jokingly asked for her surgeon’s contact info.

“The work she’s had done is PHENOMENAL,” said one user. Another added, “Drop the surgeon’s name RN she looks SO GOOD.” Someone else chimed in, “She’s had work done, but it’s pretty good.” One person commented, “The facelift is finally setting in; it looks amazing.”

The 37-year-old has not confirmed undergoing any cosmetic procedures, but noticeable changes in her appearance—especially around her eyes and brows—have sparked speculation among fans and experts alike. Some suggest she may have had subtle work, such as an endoscopic brow lift or upper blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery), which could account for her higher brow placement, more visible eyelids, and a more lifted, almond-shaped eye appearance.
