Show your soft side like Emma in a velvet dress by KITX

Emma Watson looked like a work of art herself when she attended the 2016 Museum Of Modern Art Film Benefit in New York last night!

The actress wore a bewitching black velvet dress for the occasion, which Rebecca Corbin-Murray styled with a chic choker and barely there sandals by SUSI.

Her dress is by KITX, and Australian designer Kit Willow is the brains behind the ethically-minded brand. We love the flattering draped design and asymmetric hem of this dress, which is typical of the label's aesthetic. Nothing says Christmas party season quite like a bit of luxe velvet, plus it's made out of sustainable fabric!
