Emma Watson wore a rather revealing dress by Rafael Lopez at the opening of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1. She graced the red carpet in a dress much less demure that what has been previously expected of her. That said, she looked absolutely beautiful in a minidress made from black lace contrasted with a feathered skirt. The dress had an open back that was held together by a single ribbon. Certainly, this sensuous outfit did all the talking for Ms. Watson, who is quite fully a beauty come of age. Although most on the red carpet were probably surprised by her choice of garment, everyone, it would be safe to say, was impressed at what a stunner she has become. Emma Watson, the mature woman, has most certainly arrived.
