Michelle Monaghan and Emma Stone: A Lookalike Comparison
While many fans think the two actresses look alike, there is no relation between the two.
Emily Jean Stone and Michelle Lynn Monaghan have ancestries that reflect their European backgrounds, with distinctions in their heritage compositions. Stone, born in Scottsdale, Arizona, has a mix of Swedish, German, Welsh, Irish, English, Scottish, and Swiss-German roots, showcasing a wide array of European influences.
On the other hand, Monaghan, born in Winthrop, Iowa, has a heritage predominantly Irish (50%), alongside German (40.625%), English (approximately 6.25%), and Swiss-German (3.125%), indicating a strong Irish and German presence in her lineage.
Age-wise, Stone, born in 1988, is 12 years younger than Monaghan, born in 1976. Both possess striking features, including warm hazel eyes, fair complexions, and broad smiles. Their similar hair color and facial structures further contribute to the comparisons.

Michelle Monaghan’s Radiant Look in Virgil Abloh
At the 2016 CFDA Fashion Awards, the then-40-year-old actress was radiant in an off-white Virgil Abloh Fall 2016 strapless gown.

The dress was one part frayed cotton and one part metallic electric pleating. She accessorized with an exciting circle pendant necklace piece and a cocktail ring by sustainable jewelry designer Monique Péan.
Though Michelle kept her hair and makeup simple, her clutch and shoes added to her futuristic look. She picked a silver clutch and gold Schutz cage sandals to finish her look.

The Missed Opportunity at the 2016 MET Gala
We think Michelle should’ve worn this to the 2016 MET Gala. While her Rosie Assoulin custom gown was ethical and partially made from recycled beer cans, it looked too much like a garbage bag.
