Emma Stone Turns Heads at the New York Film Festival Screening of A Real Pain

This weekend, Emma Stone once again reminded us why she’s a red carpet favorite, turning heads at the 62nd New York Film Festival for the screening of her new movie A Real Pain. The event, held at the iconic Lincoln Center, showcased the talented actress alongside her husband and fellow producer, Dave McCary, and ex-boyfriend Kieran Culkin, creating a buzzworthy reunion that had fans talking.

Stone’s Chic Look: A Red Carpet Win

Emma Stone, 35, exuded elegance and confidence in a semi-sheer, striped poncho-inspired dress layered over a sleeveless bodysuit. The La La Land star complemented her stylish ensemble with shiny patent leather sandals, gold necklaces, and a bold pink lip that accentuated her glowing complexion. Stone’s auburn waves were styled in soft curls, adding to her effortlessly glamorous look.

Her fashion choice for the night was on point, as always, striking a balance between chic and casual. It's clear that Stone knows how to make an impression, especially at prestigious events like the New York Film Festival, where she was one of the standout stars on the red carpet.

A Real-Life Family Reunion

The screening of A Real Pain was particularly notable because it reunited Stone with her ex-boyfriend Kieran Culkin, 42, who stars in the movie alongside Jesse Eisenberg. Despite any potential awkwardness, Stone and Culkin appeared professional, taking to the stage together for a Q&A session after the screening.

Culkin, best known for his role in Succession, attended the event in a stylish brown suit, which he paired with a navy blue button-down shirt. He was accompanied by his wife, Jazz Charton, who looked radiant in a sheer green dress.

A Powerful Duo: Emma Stone and Dave McCary

Stone’s husband, Dave McCary, was by her side throughout the event, showcasing their strong partnership both on and off the red carpet. McCary, who co-produced A Real Pain with Stone, wore a dark gray tweed suit paired with a white turtleneck—an understated but dashing look that complemented his wife’s ensemble.

The couple, who have been married since 2020, have been keeping their relationship largely private, but their professional collaboration has shown how well they work together. Their shared passion for film was evident as they participated in the Q&A, discussing the intricacies of producing a comedy-drama like A Real Pain.

Kieran Culkin and Jesse Eisenberg’s On-Screen Reunion

While Jesse Eisenberg wasn’t able to attend the screening in person, he made a virtual appearance via video call to discuss his dual role as both star and director of A Real Pain. Wearing a tuxedo and headphones, Eisenberg brought a lighthearted vibe to the conversation, despite his physical absence.

A Real Pain follows the story of two cousins, David (Eisenberg) and Benji Kaplan (Culkin), as they travel to Poland to honor their grandmother. Their journey becomes an emotional rollercoaster as tensions rise and they begin to unpack their family’s complicated history. With its talented ensemble cast and thoughtful premise, the movie promises to be a heartwarming yet comedic exploration of family and identity.

The Star-Studded Cast and Crew

In addition to Stone, Culkin, and Eisenberg, A Real Pain boasts a strong supporting cast that includes Will Sharpe, Ellora Torchia, and Kurt Egyiawan, among others. With such a diverse lineup of talent, the film is expected to make waves when it hits theaters next month.

The film’s exploration of family heritage and old tensions against the backdrop of a Poland tour is sure to resonate with audiences. The blend of comedy and drama, alongside the nuanced performances from Stone, Culkin, and Eisenberg, makes A Real Pain a must-see this fall.
