Curls Take the Mountain: Emma Stone Retires the Bixie in Telluride

Emma Stone showed up at the Telluride Film Festival in Colorado this year with a head of long, caramel-blond curls, closing the book on the cropped bixie cut she has worn through recent red carpets. The texture was left to do its own thing rather than be smoothed into submission, a quiet reversal for an actress whose hair has swung dramatically short in the last stretch of premieres. Coloring landed on the warmer end of blond, caramel enough to read as a shift in season as much as style. At altitude in the Rockies, it was the kind of change that photographs as effortless but reads, to anyone tracking her look, as a deliberate turn back toward length and texture.
