Sharon Stone shared a rare public appearance with her son Quinn as they attended a screening of the forthcoming dark comedy Wild Horse Nine.
The mother and son arrived at the Hollywood event in polished evening looks, joining a guest list that also included Angelina Jolie.
Quinn, 20, opted for a sophisticated grey pinstriped suit, while his 68-year-old mother brought her signature edge to the occasion in a black leather jacket, loose-fitting jeans and ankle boots.
Stone appeared delighted to have her rarely-seen son by her side for the star-studded night.
The actress smiled warmly as they made their way toward the theater, with her glowing complexion enhanced by subtle makeup.
Stone became a mother in 2000, when she and her then-husband, Phil Bronstein, adopted their eldest son, Roan, now 26. The couple later adopted Laird, 21, in 2005, followed by Quinn in 2006.

In her memoir The Beauty Of Living Twice, Stone opened up about the difficult experiences that ultimately shaped her journey into motherhood and family life.
She recalled growing up in “near poverty in Pennsylvania’s Amish country” and becoming pregnant at 18 by her “first serious boyfriend,” before secretly having an abortion.
Because she was too young to legally undergo the procedure in Pennsylvania, Stone said her boyfriend drove her to Ohio.
After establishing herself as an actress, Stone endured a complicated personal life that included broken engagements and two unsuccessful marriages.
While married to Bronstein, she tried to conceive naturally but experienced difficulties associated with an autoimmune disease and endometriosis.
She later revealed on Instagram that she had “lost nine children by miscarriage” over the course of her life.
Stone and Bronstein adopted Roan in 2000. Following their 2004 divorce, however, the former couple became involved in a custody dispute that continued for 14 years.
Bronstein received primary custody in 2008, while Roan stayed in San Francisco—a decision Stone has said caused her profound emotional pain.

“After I lost primary custody of Roan, I couldn’t function,” she wrote in her memoir. “I just lay on the couch. I was so damn tired. I would cry. I couldn’t focus on anything but having my son back in my arms. Nothing else mattered, just getting him back.”
Although Stone later signed a confidentiality agreement concerning the custody case, she has said her performance in Basic Instinct was brought up against her as she fought to preserve her custody rights.
In a 2023 interview with People, the star explained that she chose to place motherhood ahead of her Hollywood career.
“I’m grateful that I chose motherhood as a healthy approach to my life and that I didn’t prioritize Hollywood because they certainly didn’t prioritize me,” she told the publication.

Stone has described her three sons as “wonderful,” adding, “I’m grateful that I chose the things that I did choose.”
The actress occasionally gives followers a glimpse of her life as a mother through Instagram posts.
In March, she posted a sunny photograph of Quinn smiling while holding the family dog, Mo.
“Q & Mo happy together,” she wrote in the caption.
That same month, Quinn also became the subject of one of Stone’s paintings—a colorful portrait of her son that she completed within minutes.
“Quinn in five minutes, a quick painting of my son I really enjoyed doing,” she captioned the artwork.
