THE RUNDOWN

• Emma Watson made her first ever appearance at the Venice Film Festival.
• The star wore two different minidress ensembles.
• She has been seen in Europe several times this summer.

This weekend, Emma Watson made her first ever appearance at the Venice Film Festival. She arrived in style, wearing two different chic minidresses in one day. The actor was photographed leaving Hotel Excelsior in a boat while wearing a sleeveless lime green dress by Emilia Wickstead, with a short hemline that emphasized her toned legs. She paired the look with an off-white Prada bag, a green pendant necklace on a gold chain, a silver bracelet, and brown slingback heels.

She was seen in the same heels earlier in the day and they perfectly matched her Gucci minidress in almost the exact same cut. The dress featured leather pocket details and the fashion house’s logo. She accessorized both outfits with Ray-Ban sunglasses and left her golden brown hair down in gentle waves.

The Little Women star has taken a long break from acting and the spotlight, but has made several appearances in Europe this summer, displaying her current take on style. At the end of August, she was spotted several times in Saint-Tropez. On August 30, she was seen walking the coastline while wearing a red silk maxi dress by Réalisation Par, decorated in more red polka dots and a pair of red ballerina flats.

On August 21, she was seen there with her trainer, wearing a sheer black fishnet dress over a red bikini, a pair of teal sneakers with white ankle socks, and accessorizing with sunglasses, several layered necklaces, silver statement rings, and silver hoop earrings.

In recent years, Watson has been studying at Oxford University. In a 2023 interview with British Vogue, she explained the decision.

“I’m just so glad that I did, because I have this feeling of having my own voice and creative space and sovereignty in some way that I don't think I did before—more autonomy,” she shared.

“I get a front row seat [with] some of the most successful, beautiful, incredible people in the world,” she added. “And when you have that seat it becomes very, very clear that there is just absolutely no level of success that will make you in any way happy or content if you do not like who you are or enjoy what you're doing when no one’s watching.”
