Not so mellow yellow: Emma Stone wows in bright dress as she arrives at the premiere of Spider-Man 2 with beau Andrew Garfield
The stars turned out in force at the premiere of The Amazing Spider-Man 2 which was held in London’s Leicester Square on Thursday night.
But all eyes were on actress Emma Stone, 25, who plays Gwen Stacy in the movie. She stood out in a bright yellow gown which trailed onto the floor.
She posed on the arm of her boyfriend Andrew Garfield, who she met in 2011 on the set of The Amazing Spider-Man 1. He plays the lead role of Peter Parker and Emma’s on-screen love interest.
