Emma Stone looked chic in a little black dress as she attended the Bugonia photocall during the Venice Film Festival on Thursday.
The actress, 36, who stars as lead character Michelle, stunned as she arrived in a sleek, black, halterneck dress, complete with an asymmetrical lace trim.
She added inches to her slender frame as she slipped into a pair of black, strappy heels which she tied around her ankle and showed off her recent hair transformation.
The conspiracy feature is centered on two men who kidnap an influential CEO after becoming convinced that Michelle is secretly an alien who wants to destroy the earth.
The actress – who won an Academy Award for her work in one of the 50-year-old director’s films – is joined by Jesse Plemons as he stars as one of her kidnappers.

The dark-comedy, which is directed by Yorgos Lanthimos, also stars Alicia Silverstone, Aidan Delbis and comedian Stavros Halkias.
Emma had her head shaved on camera for the role, which triggered a real-life emotional reaction from the actress.
Moments before filming the scene, the 36-year-old burst into tears on set while remembering how her mother Krista Stone lost all of her hair during her triple-negative breast cancer battle.
‘She actually did something brave. I’m just shaving my head,’ Emma recalled to Vogue magazine.
‘My mom was like, “I’m so jealous. I want to shave my head again!”‘
Emma and her mother celebrated her cancer-free status in 2008 by enlisting Paul McCartney to design a tattoo of birds feet for them because of their shared love for the Beatles’ 1968 song Blackbird.
She recalled the first shower she took after her dramatic makeover was ‘amazing,’ but she concealed her bald head beneath a wig while attending the New York Film Festival in October.
‘I was bummed I wasn’t going out with it,’ she said. ‘Just straight-up bald. I think that would have been fun.’

To accessorise, Emma kept it simple and opted to style an elegant gold bangle which sat around the top of her arm
