Emma Stone makes a statement in a Tom Ford dress as she arrives to the premiere of Crazy, Stupid, Love held at the Ziegfeld Theatre in NYC on Tuesday night (July 19).

The 23-year-old actress stars as Hannah in the flick, the object of Ryan Gosling‘s affection.

Emma shared with NBC about a story on set with Ryan wanting them to do a Dirty Dancing lift.

She shared, “I had a panic attack because when I was 7 I was standing on the parallel bars in gymnastics, and I fell off of them forward, breaking both of my arms. Two casts. Think about it—all summer long in Arizona? Sexy. I mean I was 7 so that’s disgusting to even say ‘sexy’ as a joke…So I had this dormant primal fear that came out when he took me over his head and I was afraid I was gonna topple forward. And Ryan keeps thinking it was because I thought he wasn’t strong enough. But the guy was clearly strong…he had a muscle-y body.”

Crazy, Stupid, Love hits theaters on July 29th.

FYI: Emma finished off her look with Fred Leighton jewelry, Christian Louboutin pumps, and a Salvatore Ferragamo clutch.
