16 Times Emma Watson's Red Carpet Style Surprised Us (in the Best Way)
In the upcoming Beauty and the Beast film, Emma Watson plays the independent, headstrong, and thoughtful Belle. In real life, Emma is equally inspiring, championing women's rights through He for She, and promoting sustainable fashion through her new Instagram endeavor, @the_press_tour. Emma is taking the opportunity to share the details about her BATB tour outfits, noting how each piece is made and raising awareness about eco-friendly clothing.
