Emma Watson Wears Chanel Plaid Dress at Cannes 2025 • CelebMafia

Emma Watson returns to Cannes in a Chanel Resort 2025 gingham dress, blending fall prints with summer elegance before hitting the red carpet.

Emma Watson made an elegantly understated return to Cannes on May 21, 2025, captured just before her appearance at the Palais des Festivals. Her look? A masterclass in transitional dressing. She wore a red-and-white gingham dress from Chanel’s Resort 2025 collection—one that read less “harvest season” and more “Riviera ease.”

With an apron-cut neckline and cinched waist, the dress flirted with nostalgia but pushed forward in silhouette, thanks to sharp tailoring and cascading side ruffles. Paired with Ray-Ban Clubmaster sunglasses, cap-toe Chanel flats, and a simple tote, Watson’s styling suggested a woman en route to a beach café, not the world’s most prestigious film festival.

It’s the kind of fashion pivot that makes headlines without begging for them—precisely Watson’s style M.O. And in a season where designers from Burberry to Bottega have pushed plaid as a spring staple, this moment felt less like a nod and more like a confirmation.

Her last Cannes appearance? Twelve years ago. But if this ensemble is any indication, she hasn’t missed a beat—just changed the rhythm.
