Yes. Emma Stone shaved her head for her role as Michelle Fuller in Yorgos Lanthimos’s film Bugonia; she did not simply appear bald in a wig or bald cap. The film also depicts her character’s captors shaving her head with an electric clipper.
Why Emma Stone shaved her head
Stone’s transformation was for Bugonia, in which she plays Michelle Fuller, a pharmaceutical company CEO. Vogue reported the shave in a September 2025 profile and later said it was required for the role. Vogue’s September 2025 profile and its 2026 Golden Globes coverage document the change.

In the film’s story, two conspiracy theorists kidnap Fuller because they believe she is an alien. Vogue describes a scene in which the captors shave her head in the back seat of a stolen Range Rover with an electric clipper. The scene is part of the film’s plot, not evidence of an unrelated personal or medical event. The Associated Press summarizes the premise in its coverage of Bugonia.
What happened as her hair grew out
Vogue’s 2026 coverage describes Stone’s hair growing out as an ongoing hairstyle transformation. It also reports hairstylist Mara Roszak’s general advice to get monthly micro-cuts during a grow-out. That is Roszak’s guidance, not confirmation that Stone followed a particular schedule or a guarantee of how anyone’s hair will grow.

What is—and isn’t—established
The reporting establishes that Stone shaved her head for the film and connects the change to playing Michelle Fuller. It does not establish that the look was permanent, give a specific hair-growth rate, or identify a product Stone used. The “completely bald” wording describes the dramatic transformation; it should not be taken as evidence about permanence or private details beyond what the reporting states.
