Emma Watson made a splash at the 2014 Elle Style Awards, just a few weeks after making headlines in her red-hot Dior look at the 71st Annual Golden Globe Awards. It is always a delight to see the lovely actress step out on the red carpet because she always makes bold and interesting sartorial choices. While Emma never shies away from taking fashion risks, she makes it a point to look classy and tasteful, which is something to be admired about the stylish star.

At the star-studded event held at One Embankment in London, Emma was equal parts classy and sassy as she sashayed down the red carpet in a striking Spring 2014 Couture dress from Giambattista Valli. This look could potentially be disastrous in the wrong hands, but Emma made it seem effortless due to her impressive styling.

The 23-year-old actress wore an architectural dress from Giambattista Valli’s Spring 2014 collection, which features short sleeves, intricate beading, and a structural skirt with a short hemline and a giant bow on the front. She styled it with minimal accessories, a classic pair of black pumps from Christian Louboutin, and a chic updo so as not to distract from the details of her dress. To add a pop of color to her all-black ensemble, she finished off her look with vampy red nails and the perfect red pout.
