Emma Stone's New Whimsy Pixie Is the Chicest Way To Do A Short Haircut This Summer
The short pixie haircut is a major trend for summer. Aside from being a heatwave-friendly haircut that keeps you feeling cool throughout sweaty weather, it's also a cut that's relatively easily to style and brings an instant dose of avant-garde to your overall look. If you're looking for pixie inspiration, Emma Stone debuted her pixie hair transformation on the Golden Globes red carpet in January and she has continuously delivered fresh new pixie inspo – thanks to her hairstylist Mara Roszak - with every appearance. They're both clearly having fun in this pixie era, with Stone previously sporting a flapper-style pixie at the Oscars, teaming it with wispy bangs at the Louis Vuitton Cruise presentation in Paris and now, Stone is back with a whimsy pixie for the premiere of Eddington in Los Angeles. Roszak's 'whimsy pixie' first appeared in Paris, where she described the look as having an 'airy and light' texture complete with delicate forehead-framing pieces. At the Eddington premiere, the style took on a softer, tousled finish with a fuller, wavy fringe. The style borrows from the rulebook of the French bob: a lived-in, done-undone effect with gentle volume. It's an excellent demonstration of how to style your pixie cut as it continues to grow out and is an elevated summer-ready option for those with wavy or thicker hair, too. Roszak used products from her own haircare line, ROZ, to achieve Stone's look. She reached for ROZ Evergreen (currently unavailable in the UK), a styling cream to define the silhouette of the pixie and add medium-hold to keep flyaways at bay and ROZ Air, a lightweight mist to create texture and add some body to the short haircut. While the choppy pixie and undercut pixie has an edgy, offbeat appeal, this relaxed style brings a chic, nonchalant vibe to the red carpet (especially when styled in Stone's Louis Vuitton off-shoulder, flowing number - kudos to stylist Petra Flannery) and it'll also look equally fresh and polished by the pool and for summer evenings out. We'll be screenshotting it for the next trip to the salon. Medina Azaldin is the beauty editor of ELLE and Harper's Bazaar UK, working across print and digital features. She has more than seven years journalism experience and has previously written for Red and Good Hoousekeeping. When she's not demystifying the latest skincare ingredient, sniffing out the next big perfume trend or uncovering the science behind wellness practices, you'll most likely find her in Hatchards Piccadilly or watching a crime series with her cats. Oh, and she's a competitive cheerleader, too.

Emma Stone is kidnapped by Jesse Plemons in trailer for ‘Bugonia,' their latest film with Yorgos Lanthimos
By the looks of the first trailer for 'Bugonia,' Emma Stone's latest collaboration with director Yorgos Lanthimos will be just as brilliantly bizarre as its predecessors. 'Bugonia,' an English-language remake of the South Korean sci-fi comedy 'Save the Green Planet!,' follows two conspiracy theorists who believe Stone's high-powered chief executive character is an alien planning to destroy planet Earth — so they kidnap her. Stone and Lanthimos have previously worked together on 'The Favourite' (2018), 'Poor Things' (2023) and 'Kinds of Kindness' (2024). 'Bugonia' marks their third consecutive film in three years. The trailer — released Thursday by Focus Features — opens with a voiceover, a metaphor and a shot of a beehive. 'The workers gather pollen for the queen,' Jesse Plemons, who worked with Lanthimos and Stone in 'Kinds of Kindness,' says as the trailer cuts to Stone's swaggering CEO. After a quippy kidnapping montage with Plemons and Aidan Delbis' characters set to Green Day's 'Basket Case,' Stone is shown lying unconscious in a bed. Jarring chords alternate with action-packed footage of fist fights and police chases, all framed in Lanthimos' quintessential style. 'How can you tell she's an alien?' Delbis asks. Plemons replies, 'Well, the signs are obvious.' The conspiracy theory — and the truth about the CEO's extraterrestrial status — remain anything but obvious in this initial teaser; fans will have to wait for the film's release. 'Bugonia' is set for a limited run on Oct. 24 before expanding wide Oct. 31. Stavros Halkias and Alicia Silverstone round out the cast.
