Sharon Stone Wows On The Red Carpet In Bold Suit And Sequined Scarf
As noted by WWD, the event aimed to celebrate "diversity, equity, inclusion and accessibility in Hollywood," and Stone shared a personal story with the audience as an honored speaker last month.
The Casino actress opened up about her stroke and brain hemorrhage she suffered in 2001, and how she was told that she had a "1 percent chance" of survival. After the stroke, Stone explained to attendees that finding work in Hollywood was a difficult struggle.
"I recovered for seven years, and I haven’t had jobs since," Stone said. The mom of three added, "When it first happened, I didn’t want to tell anybody because you know if something goes wrong with you, you’re out."
The Ratched star continued: "Something went wrong with me — I’ve been out for 20 years. I haven’t had jobs. I was a very big movie star at one point in my life."
Stone topped off her look for the night with shiny silver hoop earrings and wore her blonde tresses in an elegant, slicked-back style. As for her makeup, the style icon went for subtle eyeliner, mascara, a touch of radiant blush and a glossy red lip.
On Twitter soon after, many fans commended Stone for sharing her "inspiring" story, and commented on how "beautiful" she looked that evening. (We agree!)
