* ActorSharedBackground: Like Mia in ''Film/LaLaLand'', she dropped out of school to pursue acting. However, she dropped out of high school, while Mia dropped out of law school.



* DawsonCasting: She was 22 playing a high schooler in ''Film/EasyA'', and 24 in ''Film/TheAmazingSpiderMan''. And in ''Film/TheAmazingSpiderMan2'', she was 26 continuing to play Gwen as she graduates from high school in the opening.



* DyeingForYourArt: She put on 15 lbs of muscle for ''Film/BattleOfTheSexes''.
* FakeBrit: She's put on British accents in ''Film/TheFavourite'', ''Film/{{Cruella}}'' and ''Film/PoorThings''.
* FakeMixedRace: She drew controversy in ''{{Film/Aloha}}'' for playing a character who is mixed Hawaiian and Chinese when she is fully white. Cameron Crowe stated that the intention was for Alison to feel disconnected to her heritage, but later apologised for the whitewashing anyway.



** Of the Music/SpiceGirls. [[TheKnightsWhoSaySquee She freaked out]] when she got to talk to Mel B (Scary) and Mel C (Sporty) at different times via video while promoting ''Film/TheAmazingSpiderMan2''. She came very close to freaking out when, during [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EqfNH652dH4 an interview]] on ''Series/TheGrahamNortonShow'', Graham implied to her that all five of them were backstage waiting to meet her. They weren't.

They weren't. Indeed, she chose Emma as a stage name after Baby Spice herself (Emma Bunton).



* PlayingAgainstType: She often played a comedic or quirky character, even when the film was dramatic. Then came ''Film/TheFavourite'', where she donned an English accent and played a ruthless social climber, with the whole film being about her FaceHeelTurn. There's also her playing {{Film/Cruella}} De Ville, although her Cruella is admittedly far more sympathetic.
* RealLifeWritesTheHairstyle: She's best known as a redhead because she dyed it for ''{{Film/Superbad}}'' and found she liked it.



* StageName: Took the name Emma because "Emily Stone" was already taken in the Screen Actors Guild. Prefers to be called 'Em' by friends.

* StageName: Took the name Emma because "Emily Stone" was already taken in the Screen Actors Guild. Prefers to be Guild, and she had for a while gone by Emily J Stone or Riley Stone. She was called Emma anyway for years, but later "freaked out" about not using her birth name, and encourages her co-workers to call her Emily when they get to know her. A lot of friends call her 'Em' by friends.as a compromise.
* StarMakingRole: A combination of ''Film/EasyA'', ''Film/TheHelp'' and ''Film/TheAmazingSpiderMan'' brought her to international attention. And arguably ''Film/LaLaLand'' and her Oscar win catapulted her to the A-list.

In 2015, Stone earned her first [[UsefulNotes/AcademyAward Oscar]] nomination for Best Supporting Actress for ''Film/BirdmanOrTheUnexpectedVirtueOfIgnorance''. She later won the Oscar for Best Actress in 2017 for ''Film/LaLaLand'' -- an award that was the cause of the notorious botched Best Picture presentation later on, as a duplicate card for her win was given to Creator/WarrenBeatty and Creator/FayeDunaway rather than the one for ''Film/{{Moonlight|2016}}'' as Best Picture.

* AuthorAppeal: Inverted -- she has said that she does not wish or intend to star in any fantasy works. This was one of the draws for her 2018 Netflix miniseries ''[[Series/Maniac2018 Maniac]]''; the psychological trippiness allowed Hollywood to actually put her in fantasy settings due to the scenarios created by the characters' heads. She did, however, star in the ScienceFantasy 'Film/PoorThings'' in 2023.
