Designers break down how “Poor Things'” unique looks came to be.
Following her Oscar nomination in January, Stone told “Good Morning America” that Bella Baxter was her favorite character to play as an actress.
“I absolutely love her,” she said. “I’ve said that many times now and I feel like it’s a little bit unfair because I think the characters that I’ve been lucky enough to play have been the perfect character for that time in my life.”

“Bella was my absolute favorite at this point in my life because she’s so free, she’s without judgment, self-judgment or judgment of others,” she added. “She’s just taking in every element of life.”

Outside of “La La Land,” Stone previously scored Oscar nominations for 2014’s “Birdman or (The Unexpected Virtue of Ignorance)” and 2018’s “The Favourite,” both for supporting actress.
“Poor Things” received a total of 11 nominations including best picture and adapted screenplay.
