Emma Watson Dazzles in Sheer Florals and Timeless Trench at Prada’s AW24 Showcase
As Milan braces for the blooms of a new season, Emma Watson blossoms as our emerging style star for Spring 2024. The acclaimed actor and sustainability champion graced Prada’s autumn/winter runway extravaganza, captivating guests in not one but two looks that affirm her reign as fashion’s darling.
Emma Watson, who is the face of the Italian fashion house’s perfume Paradoxe, attended the show wearing a classic navy jacket layered over a pale blue-lavender minidress with a sheer bodice and tiered, ruffled skirt edge in white lace.
On the eve of the showcase, Watson stepped out in a ensemble that proves her sartorial prowess. She masterfully married the timelessness of classic trench and jeans with a modern preppy twist. Watson donned a camel sweater casually yet elegantly draped around her shoulders, adding a touch of insouciant luxury. Her light-wash relaxed jeans and black loafers exuded Parisian chic. The beige cotton trench tied the look together beautifully. Watson completed her outfit with the camel sweater, chunky Prada loafers and sleek sunglasses. The overall effect was one of effortless polish – simple pieces elevated by her sophisticated sensibility for style.
The following day at Prada’s Autumn/Winter presentation, Watson was the incarnation of gentility heralding the forthcoming milder climes. She wore a diaphanous sheer floral dress in serene sky blue and pristine white over which she layered a nylon coat as mild as first spring rain. The crystalline Prada slingbacks adorned with the fashion house’s inverted triangle subtly whispered refinement. Watson cinched the ethereal ensemble at the waist with a razor-thin white belt while a sleek onyx handbag lent quiet gravitas. The look was breezy elegance, beautiful in its simplicity.
Watson’s dress featured a high crew neckline that gave a peek at her skin underneath, though the bodice was lined. The skirt, which hit just above Watson’s knee, was made of layers of the same sheer organza fabric, ending in three tiers of subtle ruffles. The delicate floral pattern and feminine shape gave it a decidedly retro feel, as though it was a ’40s day dress she found in a vintage shop. Watson styled it with nude Prada slingback heels and a bag slung over her shoulder.
As the fogs lift and the crocuses push through the thawing soil, take a page from our new season’s muse. Infuse your closet with pieces boasting subtle prep or flirtatious flair à la Watson’s knotted camel sweater or diaphanous botanical frock. Follow her styling sensibility to craft looks with quiet power and elegance that withstand the test of time.
