‘Are you wearing an upside down umbrella?’ Emma Watson leaves fans confused with her ‘gravity-defying’ dress

Emma Watson likely wasn’t expecting to be at the center of the latest viral dress discourse when she posted an Instagram pH๏τo of herself wearing a sky-blue Loewe number on Monday, but many Internet commenters seemed nearly as confused by the gravity-defying silhouette as they were by the infamous white-and-gold (or black-and-blue) dress eight years ago.

In the image, the asymmetrical mini-dress appears to be floating on Watson’s body, with its neckline — both sharply-pointed and loosely-draped — in particular hovering without any visible means of support.

The optical illusion led some “Harry Potter” fans to ask Watson, who played Hermione Granger in the blockbuster movies, whether the garment was the result of some Hogwarts wizardry — rather than just fashion wizardry.

“That dress said wingardium leviosa,” the most-liked reply on Watson’s post read, referring to a levitation spell used in the books and films. Other, less kind comments compared the piece to a broken umbrella, or to what happens “when you try to fold a fitted sheet.”
