Emma Watson, 35, drew attention on the final day of the 82nd Venice International Film Festival with two rapid-fire outfit changes, arriving at the Hotel Excelsior Saturday in a pistachio Emilia Wickstead mini before later appearing in a second Gucci look.
Watson first appeared in a sleeveless pistachio-green gown featuring a bateau neckline and a darted bodice. She paired the look with nude stilettos, a Prada Arqué leather shoulder bag reported to retail for more than £2,000, Ray-Ban sunglasses and understated jewellery. Photographers and onlookers followed her around the busy festival site as she waved and smiled for cameras.
Later the same day Watson returned to public view in a second outfit, trading the Emilia Wickstead mini for a leg-baring Gucci number as she continued to move around Venice. The two looks underscored a tendency among festival attendees to alternate red-carpet and arrival outfits while participating in back-to-back events during the festival’s final hours.
Watson, who rose to international fame for her role in the Harry Potter films and more recently appeared in titles such as Little Women, has frequently combined high-fashion choices with low-key accessories at public appearances. The 82nd Venice International Film Festival, held annually in the Italian city, drew actors, filmmakers and industry guests for screenings and photo calls across its program.
The appearances came on the festival’s closing day, a customary time for press activity, photocalls and departures as attendees move between screenings and Venice’s hotels and waterfront venues. Watson’s twin looks were among several high-profile style moments documented during the festival’s run.
Organizers of the Venice festival and representatives for Watson did not immediately provide comment on the wardrobe choices. Photographs and on-the-ground reporting from the Hotel Excelsior and other Venice venues captured Watson’s movements and the shifts between her two designer ensembles.
The festival, now in its 82nd year, continues to serve as a major platform for film premieres and industry events, where fashion and cinema frequently intersect in public appearances by actors and filmmakers.
