If there is a tennis tournament with some kind of famous person viewing platform, Emma Watson will be making an appearance. Like standing in the VIP at a Beyoncé concert (and kissing your long-rumored boyfriend with merry abandon), Grand Slams are a place for celebrity sports fans to see and be seen. That’s what happened when Watson was photographed attending the US Open.

Granted, the sartorial obligations of attending one of Beyoncé’s Club Renaissance gigs and a tennis match might differ – the always pared-back Watson might evaporate at the sight of Kim Kardashian’s jeweled bralette – but there is still an expectation that aesthetic standards will be upheld. Watson arrived at the Open’s step-and-repeat in wide-cut trousers with a double-breasted blazer draped over her shoulders. In place of predictable heels? A pair of beach sliders – albeit a $638 pair by The Row.

A casual take on the bon ton attire that usually collects around these kinds of events, the look compounded the insouciance of Watson’s Wimbledon outfits: the sleeveless button ups and sculptural Loewe heels, and the Oscar de la Renta minidresses. See also: her black and white Harris Reed gowns and the wide-shouldered Schiaparelli blazers. If you spot a monochromatic figure in off-kilter tailoring and unusual shoes in the background on ESPN, it’s probably Emma Watson.
