Emma Watson Takes Green Carpet Challenge at Met Gala 2016

Emma Watson shows off her stunning gown on the red carpet at the 2016 Met Gala held at the Metropolitan Museum of Art on Monday (May 2) in New York City.

The 26-year-old activist and actress gown was a part of the Green Carpet Challenge.

Emma is wearing custom Calvin Klein Collection black taffeta twill off-the-shoulder top and detachable train, ecru cotton bustier with lace cups and black satin trouser with Paige Novick jewelry.

This was made from Newlife fabric, a unique yarn engineered from used plastic bottles sourced, processed and spun into yarns exclusively in Italy. Every element of the look has been considered from an ethical and aesthetic perspective- including the lining crafted from organic silk and cotton, and even down to the zippers which are made from recycled plastic.

This year’s Costume Institute Gala Benefit � celebrating the opening of the Manus x Machina: Fashion in an Age of Technology exhibition � is co-chaired by Taylor Swift, Idris Elba, Vogue editor Anna Wintour, and Apple exec Jonathan Ive.
