Emma Watson isn’t just admired for her beauty and talent but also for her commitment to making the world a better place to live. Aside from being an outspoken feminist, the actress has also been taking steps to erase her carbon footprint.
During the press tour of her latest film, “Beauty and the Beast,” Emma decided to wear eco-friendly outfits. The actress worked with her stylist to create stunning ensembles that proved celebrities can still look glamorous while wearing sustainable fashion. She also created an Instagram account — @the_press_tour — to showcase the details she wore on her appearances.
Here are four of our favorite dresses from her press tour.

4. Elie Saab Gown Upcycled From Leftover Fabric
While this Elie Saab gown has a lot of fabric, the 15 meters of embroidered tulle, 5 meters of illusion tulle, and 4 meters of crepe georgette silk are all leftover fabric sourced from a previous Elie Saab Haute Couture Collection.
The beautiful gown features stunning embroidery and sequin details.
Emma Watson’s fashion choices continue to inspire the world, from her elegant red carpet looks to her advocacy for sustainability. Her appearance at the 2023 Soho House Awards, wearing a bohemian-inspired Dior gown while accepting the Breakthrough Entrepreneur Award, proves her ability to seamlessly blend fashion with purpose.
Whether it’s in a sleek Oscar de la Renta jumpsuit at the “Beauty and the Beast” premiere or a Kitx dress at the MTV Movie & TV Awards, Emma’s commitment to ethical fashion is clear. Her trendsetting style continues to set a powerful example for the industry, showing that glamour and sustainability can go hand in hand.
