Emma Watson turned into a real-life Disney princess for the London premiere of Beauty and the Beast. Granted, her long gray-blue Emilia Wickstead dress served more Cinderella vibes than BATB, but her hair choice was all Belle.
You might not see it at first, though. At a quick glance, it looks as if Watson opted for a classic braided updo. However, if you look closely, you'll see that she braided her hair in a very specific—and very BATB—way. On each side of her head, Watson has cute rosebud-shaped braids. (If you need a BATB refresher, the dying rose in Beast's castle is a central part of the story. When the last petal falls, Beast loses his opportunity to break the spell and turn back into a human.) Check out Watson's rosy, regal braids for yourself in the Instagram post, below:

We'll pause for emphasis…yeah. The whole look is stunning.
Watson's braids are courtesy of Windsor, England–based hairstylist Jenny Harling. (Fun fact: According to her Twitter, Harling was the colorist and hairstylist for the Harry Potter films, so it looks like she and Watson have a deep connection!) And if you're looking for details on Watson's makeup, her artist Caroline Barnes broke down everything she used on Instagram. What will make you love this look more: Every brand is cruelty-free. (A few of our favorites include RMS Beauty's Un Cover-Up Concealer and Tata Harper's Repairative Moisturizer.)
I've always thought Watson was the perfect Belle, and her decision to mirror her premiere glam after BATB only solidifies my opinion. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if one of the witches casting a hex on Donald Trump this morning took a break to turn Watson into Belle IRL. Anything is possible with witchcraft, my friends. Anything.
Fingers crossed Emma Watson tributes Belle on the other BATB red carpets this month too. We wouldn't be mad at some more Disney magic.
