Battle of the Sexes (2017)
In Battle of the Sexes, Stone portrayed tennis legend Billie Jean King. While the film isn’t focused on nudity, it does include intimate moments that explore King’s private life and struggles with identity. One is an intense sex scene with actress Andrea Riseborough. These scenes add emotional depth, showing how vulnerability can be as powerful as athletic triumph.



The Favourite (2018)
Yorgos Lanthimos’s The Favourite pushed Stone into bold territory, with several intimate and nude moments central to the plot. Her character Abigail uses seduction and cunning to gain influence, and these scenes are vital for expressing the power dynamics and political intrigue at the heart of the story.



Poor Things (2023)
In Poor Things, Stone plays Bella Baxter, a woman navigating self-discovery and liberation. The film includes multiple nude scenes, not for shock value, but to symbolize freedom, curiosity, and ownership of the body. Critics praised Stone’s courage in embracing the role’s physical and emotional demands.


















Kinds of Kindness (2024)
Her collaboration with Lanthimos continued in Kinds of Kindness, a surreal anthology film. Stone’s performance once again includes nude scenes, but here they function as part of the director’s unconventional narrative style, blending vulnerability with unsettling themes. These moments reinforce her reputation for fearlessly inhabiting challenging, boundary-pushing roles.
