Emma Watson appeared to be in high spirits during the pH๏τocall for Beauty and the Beast in Los Angeles over the weekend, despite recently responding to critics of her braless pH๏τoshoot. She wore a high-necked outfit with scallop trim that accentuated her slender figure, paired with black court heels that elongated her toned legs. Emma left her chestnut hair loose and tousled, styled in a side part, while she highlighted her plump lips with a touch of pink gloss. Alongside her was her handsome co-star Dan Stevens, who portrays the Beast in the live-action remake of the Disney classic.

Looking stunning in white: Concealing her fantastic silhouette, the 26-year-old actress wore a cream-colored shift dress embellished with floral designs and a big black ribbon tied in a bow.

Elevenlegs: The outfit had a high neckline with scalloped edges, flaring out over her slim figure and ending just above the knee, beautifully highlighting her tan and fit legs.

Beautiful brunette: She wore her chestnut hair down in a loose and tousled style, with a side parting that accentuated her glossy locks. Her full lips were perfectly framed with a touch of pink gloss, enhancing her natural beauty.

Emma looked absolutely amazing as she posed for pH๏τos at the press conference. The pH๏τo shoot came after Emma bravely responded to critics who said her collaboration with fashion pH๏τographer Tim Walker conflicted with her feminist beliefs, especially when one of the pictures showed her nearly topless in a stylish Burberry cape. In an interview with the BBC, the 26-year-old actress, who also serves as a UN Women Goodwill Ambᴀssador, admitted she was surprised by the backlash. Addressing the comments labeling her as a hypocrite, she clarified that her decision to pose topless does not diminish her feminist stance.
