Emma Stone is seeing red ... on her head and in her outfit.

Stone is the new Strawberry Shortcake, it seems. Looking like a veritable Valentine's Day cupcake, she sported a red-and-pink Giambattista Valli dress and Christian Louboutin heels at the premiere of Friends With Benefits in NYC Monday night.

Emma, a natural blonde, has dyed her hair red since producer Judd Apatow told her she looked better with red hair while on the set of 2007's Superbad.

But, she recently went back to blonde to film The Amazing Spider-Man (speaking of which ... an unauthorized teaser trailer of the film hit the Internet yesterday, but was quickly taken down by studios).

Now, the comedy darling is seeing red again ... but what do you think of her ponytail and poofy dress pairing? We're not really loving the makeshift muffin top on her color-block frock ...

Emma wasn't the only one who was ravishing in red at the premiere ... see which hottie she held hands with after the jump!
