Taking Cannes by swarm!
Emma Stone looked picture-perfect on the red carpet at the Cannes Film Festival on Friday — until one bee took a liking to her.
Wearing a sleek white gown with a bib-like neckline to the premiere of her upcoming film “Eddington,” the actress, 36, appeared calm and collected while posing for photos with her co-stars Pedro Pascal and Austin Butler.
However, all hell broke loose when a bee almost landed on the Oscar winner.
“Is that a bee?” she asked Pascal as it buzzed around their heads.
The irritating insect wouldn’t leave the A-listers alone.
In a video of the incident posted to MTV’s Instagram, Stone can be heard warning Butler, “It’s a bee. There’s a bee.”
The “Elvis” actor, 33, then tried to blow the bee away, only seemingly infuriating it and escalating the scary situation.
The bee began buzzing incessantly above the superstars but took an interest in Stone.
Lunging backward in sheer panic, Stone’s face said it all as she squirmed out of Pascal’s grasp in an attempt to dodge the pesky insect.
At one point, the “Kinds of Kindness” actress even cowered down on the red carpet, sinking low toward the ground to avoid it as Pascal and Butler tried to swat it away while laughing at their co-star’s dramatic reaction.
Thankfully, no one was hurt — and the bee made a buzz at Cannes, popping up on social media with several declaring it was the true star of the film festival this year.
“The bee wants a good close up of the stars,” one person declared. “Oh hello, basically stalking,” joked another. “All the wishes to be a fly on the wall answered,” a third responded, while someone else wrote that Pascal “is sweet like honey. That’s why bees follow.”
Their movie “Eddington” is a Western drama that takes place in 2020 during the COVID-19 pandemic, with tensions coming to a head when neighbors are pitted against each other in their small town.
Pascal plays the mayor, Ted Garcia, who has a standoff with the town’s sheriff, Joe Cross (Joaquin Phoenix). Stone stars as Joe’s wife, Louise, and Butler plays the mysterious character Vernon Jefferson Peak.
The Ari Aster-directed movie hits theaters July 18.
Stone’s bee freak-out wasn’t the only highlight of the Cannes Film Festival.
After the festival organizers implemented a new dress code, banning nudity and or “excessively voluminous” clothing, Halle Berry was forced to change.
The ex-“Bond” actress revealed she had a different dress in mind during the event’s opening night gala on Tuesday but it didn’t follow the guidelines.
“I had an amazing dress by Gupta that I cannot wear tonight because it’s too big of a train,” Berry said ahead of opening night. “I’m not going to break the rules.”
