Emma Stone shows off striking new look with dark brown locks and bold eyebrows as she dons Victorian costume in poster for new sci-fi movie Poor Things

Emma Stone looked nearly unrecognizable in the official poster for her latest film project, Poor Things. 

Known typically for her vibrant red mane, the 34-year-old La La Land star sports shoulder-length, dark, raven-hued hair and bold brows in the movie poster.

Her icy blue eyes pop against her pin-straight dark hair as the mesmerizing A-lister looks straight forward at the viewer. 

In addition to the Easy A’s star departure from her signature look, the talented actress also flaunts a luminescent blue gown in the poster.

She’s co-starring in the film along other notable names like Mark Ruffalo and Willem Dafoe, who share top billing with her on the poster.  

Come alive: An official synopsis for the film teases that Emma’s character, Bella Baxter, is brought back to life by the scientist Dr. Godwin Baxter, her guardian, played by Willem Dafoe

The film, being billed as a ‘surrealist adventure’ by Searchlight Pictures, is set to premiere in theaters on December 8th, 2023. 

Poor Things will be Emma’s first major film role since 2021’s Cruella. 

An official trailer for Poor Things revealed that the Arizona-born actress’s Poor Things character, Bella Baxter, was resurrected by her guardian, Dr. Baxter (Willem Dafoe) after Bella died by suicide. 

Men in the trailer are perplexed by Bella’s eccentric behavior, with Dr. Baxter explaining that ever since he brought her back to life, Bella’s head and body haven’t been in sync. 

The 55-year-old Avengers: Endgame star appears in the film as Bella’s new paramour, Duncan Wedderburn.

Against Dr. Godwin’s wishes, Bella runs off with Duncan, eager to explore a whole new world and find her independence, according to the trailer. 

Directed by Yorgos Lanthimos, who previously directed Emma and Olivia Colman in The Favorite, Poor Things is set to initially debut at the Venice International Film Festival, which takes place from this Wednesday to Saturday, September 9th. 

The Help star noted in a ‘Bella’ feature from Searchlight Pictures that, ‘The more autonomous Bella becomes, the more challenged men seem to be by it.’ 

She revealed that she, ‘wanted to play Bella because it felt like acceptance of what it is to be a woman.’  

New year, new Emma: The Amazing Spider-Man star praised Poor Things for its feminist themes in a behind-the-scenes feature

 The Amazing Spider-Man 2 actress also conveyed her gratitude for Yorgos, saying that he, ‘gave me a gift for making me a producer on [Poor Things.]’ 

‘I’ve gotten to be privy to the whole process that I wouldn’t have if I was just acting in it,’ Emma gushed. 

She added, ‘It just felt like the perfect combination.’ 

Poor Things premieres everywhere in the U.S on December 8th, 2023.
