Emma Stone cut a casual figure in a black beany hat as she made a rare appearance at Paul McCartney’s second surprise concert alongside her mother in New York City on Wednesday.

The Poor Things actress, 36, looked relaxed as she stepped out in a floor-length black leather trench coat.

She layered her winter garment over a pair of black leather boots and a black turtle neck jumper.

Adding a hint of glam, Emma accessorised with a pair of large gold hoop earrings and a black leather cross-body bag.

Meanwhile her mother, Krista, also opted for a casual fit as she arrived at the concert in a pair of blue bootcut jeans.

She paired her denim trousers with a suede black biker coat which featured a gold zipper design.

Paul’s Wednesday night gig is a follow-up to Tuesday’s surprise Bowery Ballroom concert, which he had announced earlier in the same day and, unsurprisingly, sold-out in just a half an hour.

He charged fans just $50 a ticket to see him perform live at the iconic Manhattan music venue. 

In pure disbelief, Paul told the crowd at Tuesday’s show: ‘So, here we are. Some little gig. New York. Why not?’ 

The music legend performed a 90-minute set inside the 575-person venue, as reported by Ashbury Park Press. 

Paul – backed by guitarist Rusty Anderson, guitarist and bᴀssist Brian Ray, keyboardist Paul ‘Wix’ Wickens and drummer Abe Laboriel Jr. – kicked off proceedings in style performing the 1964 Beatles hit A Hard Day’s Night.

Up next, he dusted off his other band Wings’ track Letting Go, which Paul hadn’t performed in 11 years.

It was then time for another Beatles track in the form of 1966’s Motown-inspired tune Got to Get You Into My Life.

Other rarities included Wings track Let Me Roll With It – which he last included in his set at the iTunes Festival in 2007 – which included a jam of Foxy Lady by The Jimi Hendrix Experience.

Elsewhere, Paul gave a stirring stripped-back acoustic performance of the tear-jerking Beatles tune Blackbird.

Other Beatles gems included Lady Madonna, Get Back, Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da, Let it Be and Hey Jude, while he performed solo tunes My Valentine, Maybe I’m Amazed and Come On To Me.

Paul was amused to reminisce about the Beatlemania days when he heard a ‘Beatles scream’ and demanded more shrieking from the ‘girls’.

He declared: ‘That was a Beatles scream.’

Before he quipped: ‘OK, let’s get it out of the way. Girls, give me a Beatles scream.’

And on cue, all 575 fans screamed the room down.

Paul also paid tribute to late Beatles frontman John Lennon – who was tragically sH๏τ and killed on December 8, 1980, outside his residence at The Dakota in New York – when performing The Beatles’ final song, 2023’s Now And Then, which Lennon had penned in the 1970s and was finished with the help of AI.

Paul said: ‘Let’s hear it for John.’

After performing a three-song encore of Golden Slumbers, Carry The Weight and The End from Abbey Road, McCartney declared: ‘This has been a blast — we’ve loo-ved it.’
