Emma Watson is taking her newest Disney role to heart (and her wardrobe).

For last night’s London premiere of Beauty and the Beast, the British actress stepped out in a Cinderella-esque blue gown. The off-the-shoulder design by Emilia Wickstead featured a huge train that required its own handler on the grassy carpet.

In line with Emma’s commitment to sustainability, the dress was completely eco-friendly. This follows the announcement of her new Instagram account which details each of her sustainable looks during this particular press tour.

Tonight was a special screening of @beautyandthebeast in London. The film was shown at the Odeon Leicester Square cinema to 1,600 people after a reception at the stunning Spencer House ????

The 26-year-old actress stuck to her usual beauty routine, favouring natural rosy lips with softly glowing skin. Her hair was braided into an intricate updo that showed off the shimmery dress perfectly.
