Emma Watson Bafta Awards

On Sunday afternoon, Emma Watson arrived at the BAFTA 2022 Film Awards wearing a halter dress with a plunging neckline. The black bodice connected to cream-colored tulle skirt that lengthened into a princess train behind her as she walked the red carpet. The window of the dress in front revealed black heels with a pointed toe and beaded ankle straps that wrapped around her legs.

Watson left her long brown hair loose and straight over her shoulders, wearing a smokey eye and carrying a small white clutch purse and wearing long silver earrings.

On Saturday night, Emma Watson stepped out for the Charles Finch and Chanel dinner in the West End, London, as a pre-celebration for the BAFTA awards. Watson was wearing an ensemble in all black, with a blazer over a cutout dress, creating dynamic shapes across her torso. Under that was a high-waisted, short skirt and a pair of dynamic spiraling black and nude thigh-high boots with heels.

“I walked into the room where we were having tutoring, ” Watson said. “The assignment that had been given was to draw what you thought God looked like, and Tom had drawn a girl with a backward cap on a skateboard.”

She continued, “And I just don't know how to say it – I just fell in love with him. I used to come in every day and look for his number on the call sheet, it was number seven, and if his name was on the call sheet, it was an extra exciting day. He was three years above me and so for him he was like, ‘You're like my little sister.’”

Rowling has been in the news recently because of comments made about Scotland's Gender Recognition Reform Bill, a piece of legislation that will make it easier for transgender people in the country to change the sex listed on their birth certificate.
