'I look like one solid thumb': Why Oscar winner Emma Stone regrets this red carpet photo

She's the A-lister who never gets it wrong when it comes to the red carpet.

But according to Emma Stone, she should have steered clear of the fake tan bottle before attending some of Hollywood's biggest events in the early days of her career.

The La La Land star, 36, sat down for a video with Vogue magazine, looking back through some of her red carpet looks over the years, and admitted she regrets going overboard on her spray tans in the past.

When a picture of herself flashed up on screen at the 2011 Golden Globe Awards, where she turned heads in a pale tangerine dress, Stone instantly commented on her fake tan.

"I looked like one solid thumb, and that dress is so pretty. Why did I decide to match my skin tone to the dress?" she said.

"That's what bums me out about this."

When a photograph of her in a metallic silver dress at the 16th Annual Critics' Choice Movie Awards in 2011 came up, the Oscar winner again said she regrets the spray tan.

"I told you before that I wasn't going to say that I regret anything. I'm immediately going against that," she hilariously said.

"It's not about the dress though, it's the spray tan!"

"I'm from Arizona, and I don't have any pigment in my skin, so growing up, I was really obsessed with the idea of being tan," Stone explained.

"That sort of followed me the first couple years that I was going to these types of things, I thought, 'If you're dressing up and want to look great, you should get a really dark spray tan'."

Stone added that she didn't put tan on her hands and "it looks like I'm wearing gloves".

It seems in recent years, the actress has been embracing her natural beauty and her porcelain skin.

Stone is known for films including Cruella, Poor Things and La La Land.

The American star just seven months ago made headlines for debuting an incredible new look while on the red carpet at the 82nd Annual Golden Globe Awards.

She debuted her dark brunette pixie cut locks, looking radiant as she stepped out.

The actress recently shaved her head for an acting role.
