Stella made her cinematic debut in 2001, in L'ultimo bacio. The film was a success in Italy, and was nominated for multiple 2001 David di Donatello awards, including Best Film.
L'ultimo bacio was released internationally, titled The Last Kiss for English-speaking audiences. Reviews of Stella's performance as Francesca, a beautiful teenager who seduces a man in a committed relationship, were generally positive. One American reviewer compared her to "a young Reese Witherspoon"[1], while another described her portrayal in greater depth:
In an American movie, Francesca would be presented as a virgin with a Britney Spears-like come-on or trivialized as a mindless bimbo. In "The Last Kiss," she's presented without judgment as a normal, sexually active girl with a lot to learn about men. It's a balanced and sympathetic portrait.
In the next few years Stella appeared in several more Italian films, including 2002's Amnèsia, which was directed by past Academy Award-winner Gabriele Salvatores. Her film career has also included a small role in the 2004 Hollywood movie Ocean's Twelve. She studied English for her role in the 2009 Rob Marshall film Nine.
