Emma Stone’s White Dress Had the Most Dramatic Neckline at the Cannes Film Festival

Emma Stone stepped back into the spotlight this evening, attending the Cannes Film Festival premiere of her upcoming film Eddington with her husband, Dave McCary. Stone stood out in a white gown with a dramatic circular neckline, adhering to the festival’s new “no nudity or voluminous dresses” rule.

Stone accessorized with gem earrings. This is the actress’s first red carpet since the 2025 Oscars, where she wore a sleek sequin column gown from Louis Vuitton:

She has been out this month though. The star and her husband attended a San Diego Padres game against the New York Yankees on May 7 at Yankee Stadium.

Stone’s good friend Jennifer Lawrence will also be at the Cannes Film Festival this week. Lawrence’s film Die, My Love premieres there tomorrow.

Lawrence interviewed Stone for ELLE in August 2018. A then-29-year-old Stone spoke to Lawrence about being on the cusp of turning 30. “My twenties were a really interesting time, and there’s been a lot that has happened in these past 10 years, both positive and not as positive,” she said. “It’s weird how much turning 30 crystallizes your life. Instead of just living the dreams that I had in my youth and getting to do the job that I love to do and making friends and going through all of that, it’s like, Now what do I actively want as an adult?”

She also spoke about the importance of friendship, saying, “I think friendship is pretty much everything. Here’s another turning-30 thing I’ve realized: You pick your family. You realize that your friendships, the people who go with you into these next phases of your life—you’re choosing your family.”

She said loyalty was incredibly important to her, telling Lawrence, “You’ve been one of my most loyal friends for years. And I think knowing that you can laugh together and that not everything has to be such a big deal.”
