Emma Stone steps out in a cute LBD as she attends the Easy A photo call held at the Hopes Hotel in Madrid, Spain on Thursday afternoon (October 28).

The 21-year-old actress, who is a natural blonde, recently shared with The Sun newspaper exactly why she chose to change her hair color.

Emma shared, “When I first moved to LA, I had this agent who thought, because I was blonde, that I only wanted to play cheerleaders. So she’d send me out for all these parts where they thought: ‘What a weird 15-year-old. It’s not going to work out!’ I don’t know if anyone necessarily underestimated me as a blonde – I think I just had a crappy agent.”

She continued, “So one day, in a fit of trying to do something different, I just dyed my hair dark brown and got my first role a week later, after which I thought: ‘People are close-minded, man! Like a different hair color changes everything!’”
