Styled by Djuna Bel, the “Harry Potter” star’s off-the-shoulder ensemble featured a ribbed knit base with thin straps, as well as a horizontal neckline. The midi-length piece featured a faintly flounced hem and was layered over black tights and matte briefs for a sharp finish.

Watson’s ensemble was elegantly finished with a gleaming lab-grown diamond necklace by Vrai, as well as a multicolored string bracelet. Her outfit’s boldest accessory, however, was a crystal-covered RV Psychedelicat minaudière clutch from Roger Vivier, bringing it a whimsical touch.

When it came to shoes, Watson strapped into a pair of Christian Louboutin’s Actina pumps. The sold-out $795 style featured smooth black suede uppers with pointed toes and front straps, cinched by slingback straps for a cutout appearance. Thin 3.5-inch stiletto heels completed the pair with a sharp height boost, remaining formal and sleek for the occasion.
