Emma Watson delighted fans as she returned to Hogwarts for the first time in 20 years as part of HBO Max’s Harry Potter 20th Anniversary: Return to Hogwarts special – revealing that she had a secret crush on co-star Tom Felton (who plays Draco Malfoy in the films), and that she almost quit the series at one stage as the “fame thing” hit her.
Given her status as a champion of eco-conscious fashion, it’s no surprise that the actor picked an outfit to match for the reunion, with Watson opting for a pair of black heeled boots by Chloé that are perfect for winter. She teamed them with a Victoria Beckham X Woolmark jumper (made from merino wool that’s fully traceable), and an Issey Miyake coat, finishing the look with a Maison Michel baker boy hat.

Watson has become well known for her environmental activism of late, with the star attending Cop26, the United Nations climate conference that took place in Glasgow in November. Showing her commitment to wearing sustainable brands, she was pictured wearing an upcycled look by Scandi brand Rave Review at the summit.
The actor also supported another rising designer, Harris Reed, while attending the Earthshot Prize ceremony in London in October, wearing a voluminous gown made from preloved Oxfam bridal dresses during a rare red carpet appearance.

Okhtein is well on its way to achieving this goal. Founded in a small workshop in 2014, the label has since come a long way with this investment, already making itself a name globally through its collections and celebrity following, including Beyoncé, Emma Watson, Cardi B, and Gigi Hadid. Bagging the DDFC/Vogue Fashion Prize in 2016, their contemporary handbags and accessories line fuses centuries-old Egyptian craftsmanship with timeless designs. In 2019, Mounaz and Aya Abdel Raouf were included in Forbes Middle East’s ’30 Under 30′ edition, a recognition of their impact on the region and beyond. Okhtein opened its flagship store in the contemporary district of Cairo in October 2020, and has a continued focus on new product development, expanding its retail presence globally, and enhancing its digital and e-commerce footprint.
