Sharon Stone turned heads in a shimmering golden suit as she attended the Knights of Charity gala alongside Helena Christensen during the 79th annual Cannes Film Festival on Thursday.
Stone's Dazzling Ensemble
The 68-year-old American actress looked sensational in a £2,350 gold velvet Roberto Cavalli blazer, paired with matching trousers priced at £1,400. She layered the two-piece over a black shirt and slipped into black mules, accessorizing with a dazzling diamond necklace. Her blonde tresses were styled in loose, side-parted waves.
Helena Christensen's Glamorous Look
Helena, 57, also made a stunning appearance in a frilled, cutout Roberto Cavalli gown featuring a long train and a unique neck design. She completed her ensemble with towering black strappy heels that included a toe strap.
Personal Loss for Stone
Last Wednesday, Stone shared heartbreaking family news, revealing the death of her older brother Mike. 'Mike Stone, my oldest brother, has passed away following an extended illness. We wish him peace,' she wrote on social media alongside a photo of her look-alike sibling. She signed the message with her own name and those of her three sons: Roan, 25, Laird, 21, and Quinn, 19. Friends like Melanie Griffith and Hilaria Baldwin expressed their condolences.
Mike Stone was a musician and actor who appeared in films such as Eraser and Malevolence during the 1990s. He also played a counselor in his sister's 1995 Western The Quick and the Dead, which starred Russell Crowe and Leonardo DiCaprio.
Recent Family Tragedies
The sad news comes just over a year after the death of their mother, Dorothy Stone, at age 91 in March 2025. Stone had previously shared that her mother suffered from several strokes. The actress cared for her mother in her Beverly Hills mansion during her final years, recalling that her mother's last words were, 'You talk too much, you make me want to commit suicide.' Despite their tough relationship, Stone credited her mother with teaching her to stand on her own two feet.
Three years earlier, in February 2023, Stone's brother Patrick died at age 57 from heart disease. His death occurred 18 months after his 11-month-old son River died from organ failure. Stone described Patrick as a 'gentle soul' with a 'wonderful sense of humor.'
Stone's father, Joseph William Stone II, passed away at age 81 in 2009. The actress still has her sister Kelly Stone, 65, who works for the charity Planet Hope.
Stone's Life and Career
Stone has written extensively about her family and the struggles they faced growing up in rural Pennsylvania, including poverty, physical abuse, and sexual abuse. She also survived a near-fatal stroke and brain hemorrhage in 2001, which left her with only a one percent chance of living. She detailed her recovery in her 2021 biography The Beauty of Living Twice. Currently, Stone appears on TV in Euphoria alongside Sydney Sweeney and Jacob Elordi.
