Emma Watson has made a rare public appearance, touching down in the South of France ahead of the 78th Cannes Film Festival.
The British actress, 35, was spotted arriving at Nice Airport on May 20, marking her first return to the prestigious festival since her 2013 debut for Sofia Coppola’s The Bling Ring.

Watson turned heads upon arrival, embracing a laid-back yet sophisticated Bohemian vibe. She wore a flowing floral skirt, a sleek black shirt-jacket, and stylish dark sunglasses — a look that instantly captured attention.
The next day, she continued to impress at the Palace of Festivals and Conferences in Cannes, opting for a fresh and summery white and pink plaid dress, completed with a gold chain purse and oversized shades.
Though known for her iconic roles, including Hermione Granger in the Harry Potter series, Watson has stepped back from the spotlight in recent years.
Her last major role was in 2019’s critically acclaimed Little Women, directed by Greta Gerwig. The film received widespread praise and earned a Best Picture nomination at the Academy Awards.

Despite keeping a relatively low profile, Watson’s fashion-forward appearance at Cannes reminded fans of her timeless elegance and star power.
With no official word on whether she’ll be presenting or promoting a new project, her appearance alone has reignited public interest in what’s next for the actress and activist.
