The [Emma Stone](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-well-groomed-essentials) [ELLE](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ksubi-by-elle-collection) editorial may star one of the most sought-after funny girls in the film industry right now, but there is nothing to laugh at in this spread. Gone is the cute girl of 2009, and in her place is a high-fashion maven who is edgier and sexier than even her character in 'Easy A.'

Photographed by Carter Smith, the Emma Stone ELLE editorial is not just about the actress, it is also a lot about polka dots. From leggings to blouses and even hats; big, small and medium polka dots seem to be the next big thing in fashion -- at least, according to ELLE.

Dubbed the 'Riot Girl' in the Emma Stone ELLE editorial, the article is set to appear in the July 2011 issue.
