Emma Watson Wore Fresh Flowers to the Lucas Museum Opening

Emma Watson was also at the Lucas Museum of Narrative Art Opening Night in Los Angeles on Saturday, although she skipped the red carpet.

While other guests wore everything from archival fashion to looks fresh from the Spring 2027 New York runways, Emma wore a dress that was handmade.

That feels entirely in keeping with Emma’s approach to fashion. Sustainability has long informed her choices, whether she is rewearing pieces, championing responsible brands or considering the materials behind what she wears. On this occasion, she worked with her stylist Jared Ellner to create a custom dress that incorporated her love of flowers.

The black off-the-shoulder mini was made from recycled velvet sourced in downtown Los Angeles, with fresh flowers arranged along the neckline and hem. The aim was to pay homage to “Mother Nature” and draw attention to the natural resources and beauty we so often take for granted.

Even her black pumps joined the theme, with flowers decorating the toes.

Had I seen this dress without knowing the backstory, Oscar de la Renta would have been my first guess. The floral work has the same botanical sensibility that has become such a recognisable part of the house’s vocabulary. Here, however, the flowers are more than decoration; they connect directly to the thinking behind Emma’s dress.

Stylist: Jared Ellner.
