Emma Watson’s outfit is green in more ways than one. The actress and activist, 31, sported a midriff-baring skirt and shirt set while attending the Climate Reality event hosted by Al Gore in Edinburgh on Tuesday.
Her custom Emilia Wickstead outfit fit with the eco-friendly theme, as she wrote on Instagram that the bra-baring look was “handmade in London using leftover fabrics consisting of 62% recycled yarn that was locally sourced, woven, and printed in Italy.”
