Emma Stone has gone viral for her stunning appearance at the "Eddington" premiere, even sparking rumors about a potential facelift.
Top cosmetic doctor Jonny Betteridge has now weighed in on the matter, suggesting that the actress may have undergone subtle procedures, such as an upper blepharoplasty and mid-face lift.
However, Emma Stone has never confirmed undergoing any enhancements but has attributed her look to skincare, using simple ingredients due to sensitive skin.
Speculation is swirling online after Stone appeared at the Los Angeles premiere of her latest film, "Eddington," on June 26, looking youthful.
The 36-year-old Oscar winner's refreshed appearance sparked a wave of commentary from fans, many pointing out what they described as a "very well executed" lift around her upper face.
While the change could simply be the result of good makeup or a top-tier skincare regimen, some experts believe there may be more behind the transformation. Among them is Dr. Jonny Betteridge, a well-known London aesthetic doctor and founder of JB Aesthetics.
In a viral TikTok video, cautioned, "Emma Stone New Face," Dr. Betteridge asked viewers: "Did you notice Emma Stone looking a bit different?"
He then stated that "her face looked noticeably more defined and facelifted. Her brows sit higher, especially the tails, the eyelids are more visible, and her eyes have an almond-like shape."
Drawing comparisons to Emma's look from four years ago, Dr. Betteridge suggested that "these changes could be consistent with an upper blepharoplasty and an endoscopic temporal brow lift and mid-face lift."
"(They) lift and tighten the mid to upper face, like the cheeks, temples, and brows, using small incisions and a tiny camera called an endoscope," he explained.
Blepharoplasty, which Dr. Betteridge believes Stone may have undergone, targets the upper eyelids. By trimming away loose skin, the eyes can appear more open, alert, and youthful.
For a more pronounced transformation, this surgery is often paired with a brow lift. This involves making tiny incisions hidden along the hairline and gently lifting the underlying facial muscles. The result is a reduction in sagging across the upper face, particularly around the forehead and eyes.
According to Dr. Betteridge, these procedures are considered "minimally invasive" and are "typically done on people in their 30s to 40s who are showing mild to moderate signs of facial aging."
Betteridge further speculated that Stone may have undergone a mid-face lift in addition to an upper blepharoplasty.
He explained that this procedure typically involves incisions that "are well hidden in the hairline, temporal area, or inside the mouth, which helps to reduce visible scarring."
Referencing recent research, Dr. Betteridge noted that Stone's appearance at the premiere closely resembled examples published in the 2024 issue of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery.
"These patients show similar anatomical shifts, lifted brows and mid-face, and an almond-like appearance to their eyes. And these are common results of an endoscopic facelift," he said, per the Daily Mail.
However, he was quick to clarify that if any cosmetic work was done, it was done with finesse: "Whatever may have been done, it appears to be tasteful, elegant, and very well executed."
Although Dr. Betteridge has suggested that Stone may have undergone cosmetic procedures, the actress herself has never confirmed or even hinted at such enhancements.
The "La La Land" actress has remained tight-lipped about any tweaks and is far more vocal about her commitment to skincare.
In a previous interview with Cosmopolitan, Stone shared that she has extremely dry and sensitive skin, which makes her highly selective about the products she uses.
"I'm really allergic to a lot of stuff, so I can only use products with a single ingredient in it," she explained.
She continued: "I use a cleanser, and sometimes I exfoliate with baking soda or brown sugar. I like experimenting. I love coconut oil and olive oil—I have a big bottle of it on my sink, and I put it all over my face and smell like focaccia...and it's sexy."
Stone also has a known affinity for eye makeup, which can dramatically enhance the appearance of the upper face when applied correctly.
"I've learned to fill in my eyebrows—I use an eyeshadow and a little brush to do them, which I enjoy...I wear mascara most days, but I do put on a little makeup every day because it helps me feel put together. But yeah, mascara is essential," she said.
Over on X, several individuals gushed over Stone's look, with some praising her short hair and others insisting that she has had work done on her face.
Someone wrote, "I had the biggest crush on her since Superbad; she's still looking amazing."
Another stated, "She did something. She's now like 10 years younger."
"Facelift looking stunning. Celebs don't have to age anymore," a third person said.
One more person commented, "This short hair phase is so top tier. Emma Stone has the perfect face for a pixie grow-out."
