Gallery: Emma Stone’s Style Evolution

There’s a reason our recent August cover girl, Emma Stone is one of our favourite female celebrities. She is mega talented, adorably dating Andrew Garfield and using their paparazzi photos to direct attention to charities, has?a wickedly quick comic wit, and has been?extremely open about her struggles with anxiety; all-the-while maintaining that girl-next-door quality about her that makes you think if you had the opportunity you guys could be besties.

And part of that charm is the sartorial missteps she’s had along the way to her current status as one of Hollywood’s best dressed. We’ve all been there -‘shiny fabric, uninspiring prints, over straightened hair, bad pumps that don’t look the price they cost. And then there’s always something involving a belt.?Thankfully now she’s gone full-throttle leading?lady and looks absolutely fiery on our August cover.

That says, ?I’ve arrived, and I may not even talk to you.?

2011 was a very good time for Emma on the red carpet. There are some floor length gowns that have survived the test of time, and as she become more a name she showed her cocktail credentials. Remember that jumpsuit at the Golden Globes this year? Take a short walk down memory lane with our gallery.

With her new movie Irrational Man arriving in cinemas today, it’s the perfect excuse for sartorial procrastination. Acting opposite Joaquin Phoenix, Stone is steadily establishing a go-to leading lady status, like former Woody Allen muse Diane Keaton.
