Emma Stone confesses that her fashion sense as a youth was inspired by the Spice Girls.

The 23-year-old actress was obsessed with the British girl band growing up.

Emma "Baby Spice" Bunton was her idol at the time.

"If we're being honest, it was Spice World [where I got my style," Emma laughed to Entertainment Weekly.

"I wanted platform shoes and crop tops and I wanted to dress like the Spice Girls. I got platform Skechers. I had bell-bottoms. A lot of peace signs. I cut bangs like Baby Spice because I had blond hair. I wanted to be Baby Spice. I wasn't Baby because my voice sounded exactly like it does now, and I had that spunky energy going on. I wasn't super demure and sweet. But I really wanted to be."

Steve Martin's performance in 1979 film The Jerk also deeply moved Emma.

"It's my dad's favourite movie. Laughter is what symbolises love to me because of watching The Jerk with my dad," she shared.

"I think that's partially why I do comedy."
