Emma Watson, renowned for her role in the Harry Potter film series, has left her followers amazed with her recent social media update. In the picture posted by her, Watson is seen with her brother, donning an unconventional dress. And unsurprisingly, the dress immediately captured the attention of netizens, sparking a flurry of confusion as highlighted in the comments.

While a few fans questioned the gravity-defying ability of her dress, some others compared it to the magical powers possessed by Watson’s character Hermione Granger in the Harry Potter series.

Fans express their disbelief at Emma Watson’s dress

The eye-catching blue frock, designed by Loewe, seemed to go up against the rules of gravity as it appeared to float upwards. Defying the laws of physics, the dress raised towards Emma Watson’s face. Perplexed by this optical illusion, fans couldn’t help but express their wonder and curiosity.

One Instagram user wrote, “What sorcery has been cast on that dress???,” while another attempted to unravel the mystery, questioning, “I am trying to understand if this dress is floating.” A netizen even drew a connection to the famous levitation spell from the Harry Potter series, humorously stating, “The dress said wingardium leviosa.”

However, spelling it out for the confused fans, a public figure on Instagram, Jason Parks commented,
“It’s a strapless dress. With detailing toward top to look like it’s being held up by nothing. It has boning in it to give the top the structure.”

Having witnessed an early success after starring in the $7.7 billion worth Harry Poter franchise, Emma Watson stepped away from acting recently. While revealing why she chose to take an acting hiatus, the 33-year-old actress said,

Furthermore, she added,

“To stand in front of a film and have every journalist be able to say, ‘How does this align with your viewpoint?’ It was very difficult to have to be the face and the spokesperson for things where I didn’t get to be involved in the process.”

Having last starred in the 2019 Greta Gerwig-directed Little Women, Watson said that she now wants to work on projects that allow her to have a sizeable input.
