Emma Watson Paired a Bedazzled Cut-Out Swimsuit With the Summer's Most Controversial Trend

While plenty of celebrities have long proven that a great beach day look doesn’t always have to be practical (see: Kendall Jenner’s itty-bitty bikini or Emily Ratajkowkski’s chaotic crochet one-piece), Emma Watson just took a different kind of unconventional approach by pairing sun with sparkles during her latest Prada Beauty campaign.

On Saturday, the actress debuted the new swimsuit photos in question when sharing a series of surfing snaps with her 72 million Instagram followers. In one of the posts, Watson took a break from hitting the waves to pose on the beach in a black long-sleeve one-piece swimsuit, which featured two crystal-embellished side-baring cutouts and a midriff-skimming zip-up neckline. As if that wasn’t head-turning enough on its own, the A-lister added a stack of chunky silver Prada statement necklaces, playing into one of summer's biggest trends and finished with two colorful bracelets. 

Emma opted to juxtapose her flashy beach look with a natural glam, sporting a bronzy no-makeup makeup look and a clear manicure, and she finished the ensemble by tying her hair into a low messy bun. Additional photos from the campaign saw the star lounging on a surfboard in a sleeveless two-tone zip-up suit and playing with her dog in a slouchy white knit sweater and matching bikini bottoms.

Aside from taking the time to plug her Prada Beauty partnership over the weekend, Emma was also sure to share snaps from a recent shoot in promotion of the luxury new gin line she launched with her brother, Alex Watson.

“We took the gin, the dog and some really fly @Loewe clothes on holiday to do a first tasting of Renais with our nearest and dearest. We loved sharing it with all of you. 🥺” the actress wrote on Instagram. “Please get in touch if you would like to distribute us. We’d love to get Renais further around the world. 🌎 Happy holidays everyone. Love E + A (& Sofia 🐶)”
