Emma Watson was undoubtedly the center of attention at the recent White House Correspondents’ Dinner. She looked stunning in a strapless Osman dress and also donned a pair of impeccably tailored navy pants underneath, adding to her already impressive fashion sense.
Emma has definitely rocked the pant-dress look before, as evidenced by her previous appearance on the red carpet. Back in 2014 at the Golden Globe Awards, she stunned in a backless orange Christian Dior Couture dress paired with stylish black pants. Needless to say, she looked absolutely amazing.
Emma has been a vocal proponent of women’s rights, delivering an impactful speech at the UN in 2014. She was even named the UN Women Goodwill Ambassador and spearheaded the HeForShe campaign, urging men to support gender equality. Some speculate that Emma’s choice to wear pants on the red carpet may be a political statement, asserting her ability to wear traditionally male attire and still be powerful as a woman. However, she managed to maintain her feminine style by pairing the pants with a dress.
The young woman, who is 26 years old, is an influential figure in promoting women’s empowerment. She has been to different countries like Bangladesh and Zambia, advocating for girls’ education and participating in talks about the importance of women’s political engagement in Uruguay. Currently, she is collaborating with HeForShe. Her efforts have earned her a spot on Time 100’s list of the most influential people. Emma’s outfit from last night perfectly embodies her strength, elegance, and femininity. Despite Emma’s stunning attire, Kendall Jenner also caught the attention of many at the White House. This was her first time meeting President Obama, and she donned a Vivienne Westwood gown paired with Dolce and Gabbana shoes and a gorgeous Lorraine Schwartz diamond choker.
As per Kendall’s snapchat post, she was left mesmerized after meeting with Obama. She clicked a selfie with a star filter and captioned it “I just met Obama and this is how I feel”. In his speech, Obama cracked a joke about her saying he wasn’t sure what she does, but his Twitter mentions would go through the roof. The Oscar Winner Dame Helen Mirren also caught everyone’s attention in her floor-length purple lace gown and matching tattoo paying tribute to the late Prince. Purple has become the color symbolizing Prince’s legacy, thanks to his songs “Purple Rain” and “Purple and Gold.” Mirren looked stunning in her fitting outfit, proving that beauty has no age limit.
The night witnessed a few more outfits that caught everyone’s attention. Emily Ratajkowski donned a beautiful Monique Lhuillier dress that was inspired by vintage fashion. Rachel McAdams, on the other hand, wore a sparkly little black dress that was perfectly paired with a black choker. Both these ensembles became instant favorites of the night.
For a lot of people, the most thrilling moment of the evening was when Obama concluded his address and purposely let go of the microphone, quipping, “Obama Out.”
