The premiere of the live-action reboot of Disney’s Beauty and the Beast is fast approaching, and lead actress Emma Watson has finally landed in New York after traveling the globe in support of the film.
Her first stop? A reading at Lincoln Center, hosted by the New York Film Society for Kids. So it’s only natural that, in front of an audience full of avid children, Watson would channel her on-screen character’s most iconic look — a canary-yellow ball gown from the original animated film’s romantic waltz sequence.
Throughout the press tour, Watson has made an effort to support conscious, sustainable, and female-fronted brands, tracking her progress through the aptly named Instagram account @the_press_tour.
And while her yellow Christian Dior Couture gown likely isn’t made of recycled materials à la her Louis Vuitton look in France, or of ᴅᴇᴀᴅstock fabrics like her Emilia Wickstead look in London, it’s still one of the most striking creations from the first woman artistic director of the Dior brand.
