Emma Stone’s Oscars Look Raises Eyebrows As Talk Of ‘Hollyweird’ Beauty Norms Intensifies ~ SEVEN JRNL

Emma Stoneis the latest actress to be accused by netizens of falling into the "Hollyweird" trend after stepping onto the red carpet at the 2026 Academy Awards.

"What's going on with her face?" one commenter asked as images from the carpet spread across social media.

The trend has been described as the tendency for actresses to, either through cosmetic surgeries or dietary treatments, change their appearance to achieve anincreasingly homogenized ideal.

"She looks likeMargot Robbiein the face now," a viewer wrote. "I'm not sure how that happens, but just what it looks like to me."

Stoneattended the ceremony wearing a custom Louis Vuitton gown with a fitted bodice, shimmering silver skirt, structured shoulders, and a square neckline, continuing a partnership with the French fashion house that dates back to 2017, when she became one of the brand's ambassadors.

The shimmering silver dress featured structured shoulders and a square neckline, consistent with the sleek silhouettes she has worn throughout theBugoniaawards campaign.

But the dress itself became secondary to the discussion surrounding her face.

The momentStone's photos appeared online, viewers began focusing on her facial features rather than the outfit. TikTok and X erupted with side-by-sides showing her fuller lips, sharper cheekbones, and lifted brows.

The changes were first flagged during her vampire role inBugonia.

"She looks sodifferentand it bothers me that I can't figure out what it is," one person wrote.

Others tried to describe the change by comparing Stone's appearance to other celebrities, particularly Margot Robbie and Lindsay Lohan.

With that achievement, she has broken Meryl Streep's record as the youngest woman to reach seven Academy Award nominations.

At the same time,Stoneis up against Jessie Buckley forHamnet, Rose Byrne forIf I Had Legs I'd Kick You, Kate Hudson forSong Sung Blue, and Renate Reinsve forSentimental Value.

Industry watchers consider Buckley the current frontrunner after dominating several precursor awards earlier in the season.

Surgeons have argued that Stone has undergone several procedures around her eye area

Fashion Week, when photos of theactressposing alongside K-pop group BLACKPINK's Lisa began circulating online.

Viewers quickly began dissecting her look.

One commenter described her as looking like a "yassified version of herself," while others compared her facial proportions to those of Bratz dolls.

Medical professionals have also weighed in on Stone's appearance.

In late January, plastic surgeon Dr. Hazan toldThe Daily Expressthat Stone's cat-eye-like appearance could be the result of a brow lift or Botox.

Beverly Hills plastic surgeon Dr. Babak Dadvand offered a similar assessment in comments toThe Sun, saying the actress may have undergone a brow lift, upper blepharoplasty, and lower eyelid surgery.
