The Surprising Story Behind Emma Watson's Met Gala Outfit
Emma Watson just made a major statement about sustainable fashion with her Met Gala look. Her stylist, Sarah Slutsky, took to Instagram to explain the story behind Watson's unique red carpet ensemble: "With the help of @ecoage, this 5 piece look is created from 3 fabrics woven from yarns all made from recycled plastic bottles," she captioned her photo.
Slutsky goes on to explain that the look is meant to be repurposed—the trousers can be worn by themselves, and the dramatic train can grace another red carpet, eliminating the wastefulness of a single-use outfit.

Erin got her start as aBest Knockoff Luxury Clothing intern over 13 years ago—back when the site only published a single story per day. (Who What Wear has since increased that number twentyfold.) She graduated magna cum laude from USC, which is how she ended up moving to Los Angeles from her hometown of San Diego. In college, she also interned at Refinery29, where she was promoted to editorial assistant and then assistant editor. After nearly three years at R29, she came back to WWW in 2016, where she currently holds the title of Associate Director of Fashion News (as well as the unofficial title of resident royal expert—in case you haven't noticed her numerous Meghan Markle and Kate Middleton stories). She spends her days trying to incorporate her idols, Anna Wintour and Roger Federer, into as many stories as possible. Outside of work, she loves tennis, classic rock, traveling, and smothering her dog with affection.
