Emma Watson has seriously upped the ante in the style stakes during her Beauty and the Beast world tour, and her latest look is no exception.

Stepping out in a gorgeous yellow Dior number, the 26-year-old actress paid homage to her iconic onscreen character.

Emma was in New York City to attend the New York Film Society Kids program where she spoke about her love of books and met with young fans.

“[Books are] so powerful and they have the ability to change your life and your outlook, and this story really speaks to that, the sacred nature of books and their ability to transport you and empower you,” she said.
