Emma Watson walked the red carpet at the MTV movie awards in a white mid-thigh length Marchesa with silver beading along the neckline and beaded fringe cap sleeves. She paired it with silver Brian Atwood heels, simple drop earrings and a silver cluster ring that she showed off while blowing kisses and bending over. I’m not a fan of Marchesa and felt that their Cannes fashion was pretty much a big miss, and this dress isn’t an exception.
The look isn’t particularly stunning but it isn’t an eyesore either. Watson’s hair and makeup are so pretty and the dress highlights how slim she is. Not many people can carry off tight white dresses. It’s just underwhelming in general and I’m not a fan of the gladiator-like sleeves or her silver platform heels, which look cheap.
I was thinking that this dress reminded me of something Anna Paquin wore to an awards ceremony last year, but I looked and Paquin was in a really fug McQueen dress at the 2010 Emmys. The only similarities were the gladiator metallic cap sleeves. Watson’s dress is so much prettier in comparison, but truly that’s not saying much.
Also, doesn’t it look like someone just pinned up her hem and didn’t sew it properly?

I truly dislike this dress but her after party frock was lovely.
That beading is awful and cancels out the positive of her rockin a little white dress.
Beading looks like something Alexis Carrington would have worn back in the day. It made Emma seem amazingly un-chic and dowdy.
And dont get me started on those shoes…
Beautiful face, gorgeous body, ugly dress.
I wish her and Selena Gomez and Megan Fox would just quit with the stupid blowing a kiss pose already.
The sleeves are tragic.
The beading is bad but she is truly just the cutest thing. She’s my 8-year old’s first celebrity crush, so I have to think she’s cute. I swear, he literally swoons when he sees her in Harry Potter.
Like the dress. You don’t have to dress like a borderline skank to look good on the red carpet.
Don’t like it. Sort of dated and boring.
Marchesa dresses really don’t seem to be doing (otherwise gorgeous) celebrities any favors these days. I hope the designer’s icky husband stays away from this girl.
I am 50/50 on the dress – don’t like the sleeves but the it fits Emma well, she looks great.
Seems like something she has worn before.
Bad dress. Bad shoes. BAD POSE – who are you, Lindsay Lohan? Class it up Emma, that is what we love you for. Nice bum though, it has to be said.
Beautiful dress, beautiful lady!
She’s really pretty, but she always dresses like an ice skater.
She needs to stop borrowing her mommy’s big shoes.
CB, you are always so critical of clothing/colors, etc. I find myself thinking Emma’s all cute and then I read your cutting description and end up wondering why you can’t just let someone look cute once in awhile. Jeez.
@ tracking : exactly !
She’s been spotted with Harvey Weinstein after the Bafta, and I read somewhere he was the one who told her to let her hair grow again so she could land more roles.
Marchesa is the brand of Georgina Chapman, Harvey’s wife.
So I guess this mean she’s still very much Harvey’s protegée and that he is really pushing for her to be the next big thing.
I also think this is why so many starlets are wearing Marchesa : to please Mrs. Weinstein
Solitary – CB covered Emma Watson because I couldn’t – I would have been even meaner to her. This is a really trashy, cheap looking dress and Emma did not look cute, IMO.
Don’t people learn to sew hemlines any longer? It’s so often that I see dresses or pants on celebs that look like they were hastily stitched, as if for a fitting.
I don’t like neither dress or shoes, but I’ve seen worse from Marchesa.
@tracking & @June
I read that the “creepy husband” aka Weinstein was in the audience last night. Some were speculating that he was there for Lively, but given that Emma was clad in Marchesa, I think he was there to help “support” Emma. Gross.
If it’s Marchesa it’s an eyesore — well, at least to me.
And whenever I see Watson wearing this brand I remember those pictures of her being held (from behind) by Harvey Weistein.
Wait, here come the dry heaves!…
EDIT: Mia girl, saw your comment (# 20) only now. Yup, that makes sense. And brings more dry-heaving.
Dress is quite pretty, shoes look really cheap, her body is amazing…oh to be young and fit.
I like it! She looks great and her after party yellow dress was good too.
Love the dress, hate the shoes and her hair.
@Mia girl, saw your comment. I wonder if he’s the one behind her new ‘sexy’ (cheap) look of late and poses. Run, Emma, run!! Joining Eve in dry heaving.
Love the dress, love her, and LOVE how beautiful her hair’s looking as it grows out. Hate the shoes though.
Her hemline is all fucked up. The dress is still ugly, though.
I was not a big fan of this dress. I wish she had worn the second dress first, and slipped into this for the after parties. Later on, she looked stunning.
Uh. I think it looks fine. She’s rocking it. The only thing is the hemline, yeah. But what’s not to like about it? She looks amazing.
Emma’s so cute! She gets a pass from me because she’s so cute. 😀
