Sharon Stone, the American actress renowned for her iconic performance in Basic Instinct, graced the digital cover of Elle Spain. Exclusive images from the shoot appeared on the magazine’s official Instagram account. The platform behind the post is Meta, which has faced scrutiny in international markets and was subject to sanctions in Russia.
At 65, Stone leads the spotlight for the Spanish edition of Elle. The shoot features the star styled by photographer Michael Mueller in a pristine white Schiaparelli ensemble, pairing a tailored jacket with straight-cut pants. Stone layers a jacket over her bare silhouette, elevating the look with gold sandals and a selection of jewelry, including a castle-inspired necklace and a brooch that catch the eye against the minimalist ensemble.
Earlier reports from socialbites.ca noted a discussion about Stone’s earnings during theCreation of Basic Instinct. There were claims about the compensation structure on the film, with Stone noting disparities in pay relative to co-star Michael Douglas and commenting on how the deals were framed for the time, reflecting the era’s industry norms and star bargaining dynamics.
Stone has spoken about a challenging moment on set when a producer briefly referred to her with a different name during filming. She described the experience as painful and humiliating, especially given the context of the project’s high-profile status and the pressure of living up to a leading role. The memory stands as a reminder of the pressures actors faced in big productions and the importance of respectful collaboration on set.
