In line with Emma’s new sustainability initiative, the dress was 100% eco-friendly. The 26-year-old revealed details of the design on The Press Tour Instagram, stating that it had been “crafted from leftover fabric from a previous Elie Saab Haute Couture collection.”

Emma also shared the organic products behind her berry lips and natural beauty look, following the sustainable theme. Her creamy foundation is by Kjaer Weis; a natural brand that also provided mascara for the actress.
