Actress Emma Watson, who played the role of Belle in the film Beauty and the Beast, recently took part in the New York Film Society Kids program, where she read an excerpt from the famous fairy tale that underlies the film. At the event, the British actress appeared in a yellow dress, custom-made in the studio of the French House Christian Dior and inspired by the iconic yellow Bell dress.

The creation of the outfit was not without the participation of the actress herself - she not only contributed to the development of the style, but also chose the material.

According to Dior creative director Maria Grazia Curie, Emma's dress is entirely inspired by the image of Bell, which is unchanged in both the original cartoon and the new film.

A delicate yellow dress without sleeves is made of eco-organza, on which the actress herself insisted, which, as you know, is actively involved in environmental issues.
