Celebrity Crush: Emma Stone

January 9, 2013 By Lena

Confession: I’ve always kind of adored Emma Stone. (And her current boyfriend, but that’s another blog post.)

In fact, when she first burst onto the scene in the teen comedy Superbad, I tidily predicted that her days as a supporting actress in an ensemble piece were numbered – confident that her charm, wit and polished girl-next-door looks would elevate her to superstar status in no time.

And now, a mere six years later and after a string of box office hits including Crazy, Stupid, Love., The Help and The Amazing Spider-Man, she’s happily adorning the red carpet with Ryan Gosling (I just fainted) in their upcoming crime film Gangster Squad.

And if there’s one thing I love about Emma Stone most, it’s her red carpet moments. What a treat for the eyes! Always elegant, always beautifully done. She is the epitome of “fun fashion” – taking risks at appropriate times and in appropriate places.

This past Monday night she arrived at the Los Angeles premiere of Gangster Squad looking absolutely flawless in a crimson Lanvin dress.

While I loved her fashion choice, I was particularly smitten with her beauty ensemble. Perfectly defined eyes – on trend in smoky shades of emerald green; subtly bronzed cheeks and the palest of crimson lip stains. And, she resisted the temptation to play matchy-matchy with her fingernails, instead opting for au naturel tips. It is red carpet perfection.

I spent the better part of Tuesday morning trying to dissect her look – which eye shadow? What lipstick? Thankfully, US Magazine picked up on her “Flawless Look” and published everything you need to recreate it:

“I wanted to create a very glamorous look inspired by (her red dress),” said her makeup artist Rachel Goodwin. “I played with jewel tones on the eyes and lips and kept the skin looking dewy for a modern twist.”

    although i don’t like her blond (the red is so much sassier) she is amazing! not afraid to laugh at herself, not too over the top.

      i love natalie portman personally. she seems classy and she’s absolutely beautiful.

      • Lena

        January 10, 2013 at 7:00 am

        I’ve always loved Natalie Portman too. She just has such a classic beauty about her…

    I really like Gwyneth Paltrow

    • Lena

      January 10, 2013 at 7:00 am

      I used to like GP until she started publishing her GOOP newsletters. Then, she just became too insufferable for my liking.

    She is very pretty and a great actress. No crush but I do like Charlize Theron’s movies, I think she’s a great actress as well.

    • Lena

      January 10, 2013 at 7:01 am

      I love Charlize! And I love that she takes daring roles that showcase her talent, not just her beauty!

    Love her! Though I agree with Angie and prefer her as a redhead. My crush is Megan Fox, don’t think I need to explain why!

    • Lena

      January 10, 2013 at 7:01 am

      Ha, nope – no need to explain!

    She is great! I loved her in The Help. No celeb crush for me.

    • Lena

      January 10, 2013 at 7:02 am

      She was awesome in The Help, agreed!

    Katy Perry! She’s all over my vanity board (my version of a vision board)

    • Lena

      January 10, 2013 at 7:03 am

      Oooh, Katy is gorgeous! I’ve always loved the combination of blue eyes and black hair – although we never know what colour Katy’s hair will be :)

    • Lena

    I agree, the blonde hair does not suit her as much, it washes her out. but very pretty girl!!!

    • Lena

      January 10, 2013 at 7:05 am

      She definitely needs to return to her fiery red roots…

    I did not see Emma Stone in Superbad; I first saw her in Easy A. I loved her character and knew once I had seen her in this movie that she would be a star and a good one at that. She is always so well put together and so classy.

    • Lena

      January 10, 2013 at 7:05 am

      Agreed! I actually haven’t seen Easy A – I’ll put it on my list of movies to watch!

  10. Nicole W.

    January 10, 2013 at 12:18 am

    Emma Stone is awesome! I loved her in Easy A and Crazy, Stupid, Love (AND RYAN, of course!!)

    My other girl celeb crushes are Rachel McAdams, Zooey Deschanel, and Natalie Portman!

    • Lena

      January 10, 2013 at 7:06 am

      I actually only remember one scene from Crazy, Stupid, Love and that was Ryan Gosling taking his shirt off :) Love your other celeb crushes!

    I loved Emma in The Help. It was a really good movie and she’s a wonderful actress. I like Sandra Bullock because of her strong personality and the chick flick roles that she plays.

    • Lena

      January 10, 2013 at 7:06 am

      I love Sandra Bullock’s movies too – they’re great for a Sunday afternoon!

    Piper Perabo!! she’s adorable.

    • Lena

      January 10, 2013 at 7:08 am

      She’s so cute! Loved her in Coyote Ugly, but then, so did everybody!

  13. Liz Beaton

    January 10, 2013 at 5:26 am

    I think she’s hilarious!

    • Lena

      January 10, 2013 at 7:08 am

      She’s an awesome comedic actress!

  14. Victoria

    January 10, 2013 at 10:18 am

    She’s amazing, and she’s the luckiest girl in the world, getting to snuggle up to ryan repeatedly AND getting paid to do it.

    Like, seriously…

      All I have to say, friend, is 2:35. OMG. I think I almost went blind staring at his perfect chest.

  15. Mandy

    January 10, 2013 at 11:30 am

    Love her!! She is a great actress..I love her style of comedy and she has proved that she isn’t one dimensional and can do other styles of movies. I love her eyes and style..I don’t think I’ve seen her wear anything I did not like. Thumbs up for your pick of celebrity crush!

    • Lena

      January 10, 2013 at 12:00 pm

      Thank you Mandy! Sounds like you and I are similar in many ways… including celebrity crushes, LOL! Love it!

      • Mandy

        January 11, 2013 at 4:26 pm

        Haha yes it does seem that way! My number one celebrity crush is still the same as when I was 15..Justin Timberlake :) lol I think I’ll always love him..and his dance moves :)

        • Lena

          January 11, 2013 at 4:31 pm

          OMG my husband dances like Justin Timberlake, I think that’s what sealed the deal for me!! Ha!

          • Mandy

            January 11, 2013 at 5:31 pm

            Awesome! lol My boyfriend can’t dance..haha He tries though but he’s more just being silly. He has the same build as him and resembles him in a way so I tell him that’s why I’m attracted to him LOL He knows I’ve always loved Justin and he’s fine with that :) lol

  16. Jenny

    January 12, 2013 at 12:13 am

    I just saw a clip of her on Ellen recently! She is hilarious, and she can off any hair colour!

    • Lena

      January 13, 2013 at 4:47 pm

      I agree Jenny! LOVE her!

  17. Miranda

    January 14, 2013 at 10:29 pm

    oh Emma Stone, I thought she changed so much, I loved her when she first started out, really fresh and natural and that red hair (va va voom!) She is soo pretty! and now she’s an icon!

    My celebrity crush would have to be Jennifer Love Hewitt, I am at AWE that she still looks the same wayy back when i was in high-school like 10 years ago lol!! i don’t have a recent one but I remember loving her very much, she is beautiful and her smile is gorgeous!

    • Lena

      January 20, 2013 at 12:04 pm

      Now that I think about it, you’re right Miranda! JLH hasn’t changed at all – she’s always had that fresh faced, girl next door beauty.

  18. Michelle

    January 14, 2013 at 10:31 pm

    She’s amazing and hilarious! She needs more leading roles.

    • Lena

      January 20, 2013 at 12:04 pm

      Agreed, Michelle! Though I’m sure they’re on the way!

  19. Tanya

    I really like Zooey Deschanel as well as Emma Stone, her show New Girl is hilarious

    • Lena

      January 20, 2013 at 12:05 pm

      Oooh, I am completely envious of her gorgeous bangs :)

  20. Cori

    January 15, 2013 at 9:04 am

    I do like Emma Stone but for someone closer to my own age I’d say Jennifer Aniston.

    • Lena

      January 20, 2013 at 12:05 pm

      Jennifer Aniston is a great pick – though I’ve always been on Team Jolie, LOL!

  21. Jillian Christine

    January 16, 2013 at 5:33 pm

    I love her hair, makeup and outfit! 2 thumbs up for sure!

    I love Emma Stone — she’s always changing her style but looking amazing

    • Lena

      January 20, 2013 at 12:06 pm

      Yup, I adore people who take beauty and fashion risks :)

    I love chanel…make up and styles…I would love to be a chanel girl with a closet full of her clothes.

    I’ve always loved Drew Barrymore.
    She’s very approachable. Like one of us if that makes any sense. I think she is beautiful and I love her wild child ways.

    • Lena

      January 20, 2013 at 12:07 pm

      Funny, Tania – I saw your comment a few days ago, and then saw 50 First Dates on tv yesterday. I’d have to agree with you!

      :) Happy you agree!

    While Emma Stone would be in my top 5, my celebrity crush is Reese Witherspoon. The girl can do no wrong. She looks cute casual in sweat pants and dressed up on the red carpet. I also like how she looks so real, like a mom, although a really pretty one!

    • Lena

      February 10, 2013 at 6:30 pm

      Ah YES – she is pretty spectacular!

  27. InezbyDesign

    January 31, 2013 at 12:38 pm

    Wow – it’s hard to get over those eyes! And you are right the whole ensemble is fabulous, I especially love her accessories.

    • Lena

      February 10, 2013 at 6:31 pm

      She is perfection personified! LOVE.

    LOVE LOVE LOVE her hair! I wish I could pull off bangs!

      Gah! Me too!

    Sophia Bush. She’s stunning.

      Ooohhh. yes she is.

  30. Brenda

    March 26, 2013 at 11:40 pm

    I like Zooey Deschanel, with her quirky personality and 80s mod fashion choices.

    • Lena

      March 2, 2014 at 5:48 pm

      Great choice!

  31. Susan T.

    March 1, 2014 at 4:14 pm

    I love Emma Stone too! I also crush on Kate Winslet. :)

    I love Emma Stone too because she turns herself into the characters she plays so well and I love how she’s able to do serious and comical roles. She also looks great in every hair colour!
