She's been doing the rounds to promote Beauty and the Beast, and has chosen princess-esque dresses by the likes of Emilia Wickstead and Elie Saab. But we love that she mixed things up a bit for the Hollywood premiere!
Her little black jumpsuit is by Oscar de la Renta, and we love the angular bandeau neckline and gold floral embellishment on the bodice. It highlights her flawless figure and when teamed with swept-up hair and classic black heels, Emma totally knocked our socks off.
She faced a barrage of online abuse after posing braless in a stunning photoshoot for Vanity Fair this month.

And now, Emma Watson has hit back at critics who claimed her shoot with fashion photographer Tim Walker diminished her feminist views, after one of the pictures showed her posing almost topless in an elegant Burberry rope cape.
Speaking to BBC, the 26-year-old actress - who is a UN Women Goodwill Ambassador - admitted she was completely 'stunned' by the controversy.
Opening up about many's comments that she was a
hypocrite, she explained her choice to go topless doesn't undermine her
opinions.
She said: 'Feminism is not a stick with which to
beat other women. It's about freedom, it's about liberation, it's about
equality.
