Emma Watson, 26, stunned in a beautiful nude embellished gown with a cape as she graced the premiere in Shanghai, China on Monday. Alongside her co-star Dan Stevens, who portrays both the Beast and the charming prince, she exuded elegance and grace.
Emma Watson decided to ditch her cape for the Beauty And The Beast premiere in Shanghai, opting instead for a stunning nude embellished fairytale gown. She looked elegant as she walked the red carpet alongside Dan Stevens.
In the movie adaptation of the well-known fairytale, we follow Belle’s exciting journey as a smart, stunning, and confident young woman who becomes a prisoner in a beast’s castle. Despite her initial fears, she forms a bond with the enchanted castle staff and discovers the kind-hearted prince within the Beast’s exterior. In this fresh take on Beauty And The Beast, Belle is portrayed as an inventor, with new songs incorporated alongside the classic ones from the 1991 film soundtrack.
He’s not a beast: Standing next to her co-star Dan Stevens, who takes on the role of the Beast and the charming prince, she exuded elegance in her outfit.
Big news: The updated version of Beauty And The Beast has a twist – Belle is now the inventor instead of her father. Plus, there are new songs added to the original soundtrack from the 1991 film.
Emma looked radiant during her worldwide promotional tour, confidently shedding her cape-like veil to show off her bare shoulders.
To add a touch of vibrancy to her outfit, she rocked a dark berry lipstick and styled her brown hair in soft curls.
She happily interacted with fans, giggling and waving at them from candlelit steps, while also posing with Dan, who caught the eye in his striking blue suit.
Shaking things up: Emma looked happy and energetic as she carried on with her worldwide promotional journey, eventually ditching her flowing cape to show off her bare shoulders.
Emma explained that in the original story, Belle’s character isn’t fully developed before she meets the Beast, so she wanted to give her a backstory. The actor, known for his roles in Downton Abbey and The Guest, appeared thrilled about his upcoming project as he posed with Emma. The film also features Emma Thompson as Mrs. Potts and Luke Evans as Gaston. In a recent interview with Entertainment Weekly, Emma discussed her portrayal of Belle and how she infused the character with a sense of fearless girl power in the new live-action adaptation of the beloved fairy tale.
Dan, known for his roles in popular shows like Downton Abbey and The Guest, is now embarking on an exciting new project far from his Highclere days. He seems thrilled about his eagerly awaited new venture.
The brunette actress shared her insights on her character Belle, expressing the need to give her a more in-depth backstory before meeting the Beast. “We decided to portray her as a quirky inventor, essentially taking over her father’s role from the original cartoon,” she explained.
The opening song cleverly illustrates the challenges Belle faces, contrasting the boys going to school with the girls doing the laundry. This sets the stage for the theme of gender roles and expectations that Belle will encounter throughout the story.
She creates a washing machine that is operated by a donkey, allowing the young girls to be relieved of their chores and giving her the opportunity to educate one of them. However, the villagers, who are full of doubt, ruin the invention. The actress from Harry Potter expressed, “The villagers believe that women should not be educated, and this belief goes beyond just that.” She added, “Destroying the washing machine signifies their attempt to crush her spirit and force her to conform to a more ‘acceptable’ image of herself.”
Twice the trouble: Both of them were also present at the movie’s London premiere just a week ago.
