Emma Stone Finds Her “Vampy” Side on Our July Cover Shoot

(lighthearted music)

Yesterday we had a lot of really masculine like suits

and kind of looked like Charlie Chaplin gone mad.

There were a lot of hats and flowers

and it just it made me so happy.

It was really cool, it was a lot of menswear.

Whenever I m able to play like a character

in a still shoot, it s actually really fun

because it feels like acting.

So yesterday was really fantastic

and then today has been really, really feminine and lacy.

So it s both sides of being a woman.

(elegant music)

Being vampy and lacy is not my normal repertoire.

So it s been fun finding that side of my personality.

Experience with making Spider-Man

was unlike anything I ve ever done before.

It was six months.

There were harnesses.

I had never worn a harness in any other movie.

(laughs)

What was the most mind-blowing

was that it kind if felt like making anything else

because at the end of the day

it s two people doing a scene

and you have to find the truth of the character.

So it was kind of actually comforting to know that

no matter what the scale of the movie,

it s kind of always gonna be the exact same challenge.

For a long time, I really wanted to do comedy.

I think because it made me really happy

and I liked getting to make other people laugh

and then lately in the past year or two

I ve been drawn to something kind of different.

Maybe as you get older, you experience more

and so you have more to draw from or something.

So I ve been drawn to things

that are maybe a little more serious in tone overall.

You can kind of bring it back to the shoot

just that everybody has a million different sides

and it s been nice.

I ve been lucky to be able to start

kind of exploring that other side.
