Emma Watson might have played a pretty princess in her latest movie, but the young actress was dark and dramatic at the New York premiere of “Beauty and the Beast” on Monday. The sustainable fashion advocate wore a black Givenchy couture gown (made from Eco-Age-certified organic fabrics) that let her show some underboob and leg through the sheer bodice panels and a thigh-high split.

Emma’s gown was beautiful from the front, all right, but it was something else from the back. A big bow with a trailing ribbon ran down all the way to the dress’s long train. The sheer panels gave way to an open back, letting Emma reveal a sexy flash of skin.
The British star completed her ensemble with two pairs of Eva Fehren diamond ear cuffs, bouffant hair and ruby red lips. In further support of eco-fashion, Emma carried a custom Bottletop black leather clutch woven with re-purposed metal soda can tabs.

At first we thought Emma’s block-heel shoes were the SUSI Studio “Hey Simone” sandals that we spotted on her last week, but upon closer inspection, we realized they have thicker ankle straps. Can you help us ID them?
In the mean time, we found three similar pairs of black chunky-heeled sandals so you can copy Emma’s look. All are vegan, which would definitely get Emma’s seal of approval!
