In March 2017, Emma Watson again hit the red carpet for the “Beauty and the Beast” press tour at the Disney film’s world premiere in Hollywood. She famously turned down the lead role in La La Land to fully commit to portraying Belle in the movie.

While you would think that a princess movie premiere would warrant a slew of ball gowns, the ethical fashion advocate opted for a sleek black Oscar de la Renta jumpsuit with a pointed strapless neckline and a cropped pant cut.

Emma Watson’s admiration for Oscar de la Renta’s work was evident when she wore an exquisite sand tulle gown from the designer’s Fall 2011 collection to the Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2 premiere. The dramatic, embroidered gown perfectly matched the occasion’s grandeur, showcasing her taste for classic, statement-making pieces.

The then-26-year-old actress chose a pair of black satin Burberry d’Orsay pumps for her footwear. This easy-to-match pair of shoes is a favorite, considering the actress has often worn them to publicity ops.

Emma then highlighted her simple ensemble with a beautiful gold Adir x LeletNY hair wreath jewelry intertwined in her dark brunette hair.
