Emma Watson shined on the red, actually green, carpet for the first time in a while wearing a unique, eco-chic ensemble.

While attending Earthshot Prize ceremony, the "Little Woman" actress was photographed wearing a white tulle-style asymmetrical dress and black wide-leg trousers.

Her hard-to-miss look was an upcycled demi-couture gown designed by gender-fluid fashion label Harris Reed. To create the look, old wedding dresses donated from Oxfam GB, a British founded confederation of 20 independent charitable organizations focused on alleviating poverty, were used.

"I had the immense honour to dress Emma Watson in customized head-to-toe Harris Reed for tonight's Earthshot Prize," Reed said in a post.

The designer also sent a "massive massive" thank you to the team that helped him bring the look to life.

Watson was not only an attendee but also a presenter for the inaugural affair.

This hasn't been her first time advocating for sustainable fashion. In 2016, the actress wore a stunning gown made from recycled plastic bottles in collaboration with Calvin Klein.
