Her accolades include two Academy Awards, two BAFTA Awards, two Golden Globe Awards and a Volpi Cup, as well as a nomination for a Primetime Emmy Award. In 2017, she was the world's highest-paid actress and named by Time magazine as one of the 100 most influential people in the world.

As a child in Arizona, Stone started acting in local theater productions before relocating to Los Angeles to pursue a career in the film industry. As a teenager, she made her television debut in the reality show In Search of the New Partridge Family (2004). After small television roles, she appeared in a string of successful comedy films, including Superbad (2007), Zombieland (2009), and Easy A (2010), which was her first leading role. Following this breakthrough, she starred in the romantic comedy Crazy, Stupid, Love (2011) and the period drama The Help (2011), and gained wider recognition as Gwen Stacy in Marc Webb's Spider-Man films (2012–2014).

Stone's career progressed with more eclectic and dramatic roles. She earned nominations for the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress for portraying a recovering drug addict in the surrealist dark comedy Birdman (2014) and for playing Abigail Hill in the absurdist period film The Favourite (2018), which was her first of several collaborations with filmmaker Yorgos Lanthimos. Stone won two Academy Awards for Best Actress—for portraying an aspiring actress in the romantic musical La La Land (2016), and for playing a reanimated woman in Lanthimos's Poor Things (2023); she was also nominated for the Academy Award for Best Picture as a producer of Poor Things. She earned Golden Globe nominations for her portrayal of the tennis player Billie Jean King in Battle of the Sexes (2017) and for her role as Cruella de Vil in Cruella (2021). She then collaborated twice more with Lanthimos, starring in the anthology film Kinds of Kindness (2024) and the dark comedy Bugonia (2025). Stone earned Academy Award nominations for Best Actress and Best Picture for Bugonia, becoming the first woman to be nominated as both a producer and an actress for each of two different films.

On Broadway, Stone starred as Sally Bowles in a revival of the musical Cabaret (2014–2015). On television, she starred in the dark comedy miniseries Maniac (2018) and The Curse (2023). She and her husband, Dave McCary, founded the production company Fruit Tree in 2020.
