Emma Watson Wore A Light Blue Dress That Looks Like It’s Magically Floating, And Everyone Is Confused About How It’s Possible

She still has a little magic left over from the Harry Potter days.

I was today years old when I learned that cinematic magic-maven Emma Watson is part of a wine dynasty — and now, she has her own gin.

On Monday, the Harry Potter star shared photos with her younger brother, Alex Watson, to promote their new gin brand, Renais.

The website defines Renais as "a bold and vibrant gin inspired by the people, produce, and provenance of Burgundy, France." It includes pressed grand cru grapes, linden flowers, angelica root, acacia honey, and juniper berry — and I would expect nothing less from an A+ potions student like Hermione Granger.

But, aside from the golden bottled elixir — everyone had their eyes on Emma’s gorgeous baby blue Loewe dress, which featured a wired bodice that creates the illusion that elements of the dress are floating in the air.

The 33-year-old actor is known for giving us eye-popping fashions over the years — like when she magically shrank her body so her Schiaparelli top looked 10 sizes too big.

Or when she cast a transfiguration spell on this custom dress by Harris Reed that served up different gender-fluid profiles depending on how you looked at it.

And we can't forget when she showed off her transmogrified magic and subtly gave us a half-swan princess on the red carpet.

But seriously, what is the magical science behind this blue dress?

Is it just casually floating on her body?

And I'm not alone in my confusion. Everyone was bewildered by the dress — here's what they said:

"How is that dress on your body? Hanging from your ears?"
"The dress said wingardium leviosa"
"The dress looks like it's floating. I'm trying to understand"
"I'm all for sustainable fashion but ma'am are you wearing an upside down umbrella?"
"This is what happens when you say LeviOsa instead of Leviosa."
"someone make the dress make sense pls"
"This dress is defying physics"

We love you, Emma!
