The 25-year-old actress was the talk of the Venetian red carpet as she stars in Birdman, the film selected to open the festival. Stone's distinctive red hair was cut into a short bob, a style which has been praised by beauty and fashion commentators worldwide. Whilst Stone did have a slightly longer bob last year, she has been sporting shoulder length hair recently.

Stone, who is currently dating her Amazing Spiderman co-star Andrew Garfield, stars in Birdman. The film, which also stars Michael Keaton, Edward Norton and Naomi Watts, is a dark comedy focussing on Riggan Thomson, an actor famous for playing a iconic superhero who attempts to launch a Broadway play.

Birdman, in early reviews, has been highly praised ahead of its theatrical release. Peter Debruge (Variety) described the film as "A triumph on every creative level, from casting to execution," whilst Cath Clarke (Time Out) claimed Birdman is a "savagely funny, strangely sweet, sad and utterly brilliant New York-set comedy."

Birdman is released in the US on 17th October 2014 and in the UK on 2nd January 2015.
