The Press Tour
- Words by Peppermint
Hereβs definitive proof that itβs entirely possible to look sharp while wearing planet-friendly threads. Emma Watsonβs beenΒ gallivanting the globe promoting her new filmΒ Beauty and the Beast and launched The Press Tour Instagram account giving behind-the-scenes peeks into each of her glamorous outfits.
Detailed captions reveal Emma only wears clothing labels committed to being more sustainable, as verified by EcoAge. That includes faux leather jackets by Stella McCartney, a white bespoke Oscar de la Renta dress featuring hand embroidered silk taffeta made in an Italian mill, and this incredible tulle, crepe georgette silk and sequinned gown crafted from left-over fabric from a previous Elie Saab haute couture collection. Even Emma’s makeup brands are verified by Content Beauty.
The Harry PotterΒ star has long been a fierce champion for eco-fashion, making the choice in 2015 to only wear sustainable fashion on the red carpet.Β βItβs not enough for me anymore that itβs a beautiful item or a beautiful piece. I want to know that itβs not leaving a negative mark,β she told CNN last year.
Itβs not enough for me anymore that itβs a beautiful item or a beautiful piece. I want to know that itβs not leaving a negative mark.
Emma insists sheβs not paid by the brands, but rather is just βtrying to be conscious about where my clothes come from and also about the people who make themβ. She even re-wearsΒ pieces β usually a massive Hollywood no-no β as part of the sustainability-focused #30wears campaign.
Hearteningly, Emma’s Press Tour account also serves to highlight just how much primping and behind-the-scenes teamwork goes into each look, helping dispel the female perfection mythΒ that Hollywood too often promotes.

Itβs all a lot, isnβt it?
We werenβt designed to carry this much emotional grief and world-wide trauma on an ongoing basis. Just know youβre not alone. Itβs ok to not be ok. π«Άπ»

A toast to the old you π₯
We wholeheartedly love this post from the brilliant @EmilyOnLife:
β2026: Reinvent, burn it down, let it go (whatever it is). Year of the Snake it up. Exercise your boundaries, exercise your body, take one teeny step every day towards a life that feels better to be in.
But donβt you dare shit on your old self while you do it.
Hold yourself with reverence and tenderness and respect, because you got you this far. You did your very best with the information and tools you had at the time. You scraped yourself together, you made it work, you survived what felt impossible to survive: again and again and again.
You are perpetually in the process of becoming, whether you can feel it or not, whether or not you add it to your 2026 to-do list.β
Some very wise words from @Damon.Gameau to take us into 2026 ππΌ
