Emma Watson had Harry Potter fans feeling nostalgic as she debuted a Hermione Granger-coded hair transformation during a rare appearance on June 22. The British actress showed off her longest hair in decades as she joined Prince William and Benedict Cumberbatch on stage at a Business Forum event as part of London’s Climate Action Week.
While Watson has gravitated towards bob and chest-length haircuts in recent years, she revived some Y2K-era beauty magic with XXL wavy tresses that reached almost all the way down to her tailbone.
As the former child star addressed the audience at the The Royal Foundation’s United for Wildlife event and chatted with William and Cumberbatch, she showed off different angles of the layered curls and a deep millennial-approved side part.
Like during her Order of the Phoenix and Half-Blood Prince eras in 2007 to 2009, the Little Women star brightened up her long natural brunette locks with subtle golden highlights for summer. Watson accentuated her features with soft brown eyeshadow and a golden flush on her cheeks and forehead. A soft peach lipstick added a pop of summer color to her look.
The Beauty and the Beast star added some 24K shine with a statement gold heart pendant necklace flanked by beads, a gold chain link bracelet, and her customized Olive Ave 14K rose gold and diamond Maeve ring. Watson finished off her look with a black scoop-neck short-sleeved T-shirt and a long white skirt that was covered in elaborately ruffled tiers.
