At the Nice Airport, Emma Watson is giving “runway” a new meaning. The actor touched down in France during the 2025 Cannes Film Festival, where she used a classic spring outfit formula to put together her travel ’fit.
On top, Watson wore a black cardigan with white buttons and a scalloped hem. But she gave her signature preppy style a South of France update with a periwinkle and white floral lace skirt. While she leans on the side of modesty, the hole-ridden lace offered a peek of skin—perfect for the warm weather.

Watson added a pair of black ballerina flats with a block heel and a tie at the vamp from the Berlin-based brand Aeyde. She coordinated the rest of her accessories with her black cardigan, too, adding a leather crossbody bag and a pair of Wayfarer sunglasses. (In fact, the only other color in Watson’s look came from her red manicure.)
Watson hasn’t been to Cannes since 2013, when she hit the Croisette for the premiere of Sofia Coppola’s The Bling Ring, and we haven’t seen her on a red carpet since 2023, when she posed alongside Malala Yousafzai for We Dare To Dream. If this is how Emma Watson is starting her Cannes trip, we’re already eager for whatever she has planned.
