Emma Stone turned heads on the 2025 Golden Globes red carpet with a new hairstyle. The actress, who starred in Yorgos Lanthimos’s Kinds of Kindness in 2024, is rumored to have shaved her head for the director’s next film Bugonia, which will be released on Nov. 7, 2025. She paired her new hairdo with a radiant red Louis Vuitton gown.
In the past, other actresses have turned to the pixie cut after shaving their heads for a film. Anne Hathaway, for example, donned the hairstyle when she won the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress for her performance as Fantine in Les Misérables, perhaps providing a good omen for Stone. Stone also is no stranger to hair transformations, previously rocking a black and white bob as the titular character in Cruella and going blonde for The Amazing Spider-Man.
“It’s like Mia Farrow. She basically has no hair,” hairstylist, Tracey Cunningham, says over email. “It’s super short, and she’s going to have it cut again, so it’ll be even shorter.”
Bugonia continues Stone’s recent run with Lanthimos, having just won last year’s Academy Award for Best Actress for her performance as Bella Baxter in Poor Things. Kinds of Kindness was a quick follow-up with the filmmaker, which only has one nomination at the Golden Globes this evening for Jesse Plemons, who is nominated Best Performance by a Male Actor in a Motion Picture – Musical or Comedy. Stone also appeared in Lanthimos’s The Favourite with Olivia Colman, for which Coleman won the Oscar as well. Stone’s first Academy Award came from her performance in La La Land as Mia Dolan.
Other than Bugonia, Stone is set to appear in Ari Aster’s next A24 film Eddington, a contemporary Western about a New Mexico sheriff. Joaquin Phoenix, Pedro Pascal, and Austin Butler also round out the stacked cast. Aster previously directed horror films Hereditary and Midsommar. Time will tell whether Stone’s pixie makes an appearance in that film too.
