Emma Stone wore revealing lace black dress and looked stunning. The actress opted for a very revealing dress – but it’s the last thing you’d choose in these conditions. It’s usually Kate Garraway who has bad luck when it comes to windy weather – remember all those hair-raising moments – but poor Emma Stone got caught out in Cannes this week.
The actress stunned at a photocall for the Irrational Man, flashing her endless legs in a revealing lace black dress – but she didn’t anticipate the wind picking up. Struggling to remain upright, the star battled to keep her hair in place as she laughed off the conditions and recovered well. But the overall outfit did her every favour, as she appeared slimmer than ever in the revealing lace material.
Tying her hair back, Emma was all smiles for the cameras as she took the limelight from every other guest. The flame-haired beauty was forced to hold her dress down in the wind but she laughed throughout, clearly in her element in the sunny location. She joins a stunning Cheryl Fernandez-Versini, who’s also had an unfortunate run-in with the weather while there.
But don’t expect to see any selfies from the red carpet this year though, as festival director Thierry Fremaux has laid down the law and made his feelings known. “You never look as ugly as you do in a selfie, Fremaux said when explaining the “ban” to The Hollywood Reporter, calling it “ridiculous and grotesque”. We dont want to prohibit it, but we want to slow down the process of selfies on the steps, he also added. We’re sure if Kim Kardashian makes an appearance the rules will somehow be bended.
