Emma Watson Stuns In Surfer Swimsuit That Looks 'Painted On'

Emma Watson dropped jaws with her sporty swimwear display as she posted a sunkissed beach snap to her Instagram last summer. Thrilling her 74.5 million followers with her June 2023 share, the British actress stripped down to a tight, cut-out bathing suit, posing with a surfboard and upping her beach babe vibes for Prada Beauty. Offering only a wave and surfer emoji for her caption, Emma gained over 2.4 million likes as she tagged the brand she fronts, and comments weren't just on her Instagram. When The Daily Mail covered Emma's post, one fan gasped at the bathing suit, saying that it looked like it was "painted on."

Scroll for the photo, one coming as part of a series of beachy summer snaps. Looking fierce as she brandished a yellow surfboard, Emma struck a pose in a clingy black one-piece with side cut-outs. Drawing the eye to her tiny waist as silver studding here jazzed up the black palette, the Harry Potter star went long-sleeved with a zip-up front, channeling her surfer girl energy like a pro as she held her board above her head.

Flashing her toned legs and curvy hips, Emma wore her hair tied back and with loose strands blowing in the ocean breeze. Smiling as she glanced upward, The Circle actress kept sunkissed with a lightweight layer of makeup, adding in chunky necklace and bangle jewelry as she plugged the luxury beauty brand she's signed to.

"It looks like her swimsuit was painted on her lower half," one fan replied. "Honestly she looks pretty... the clothes/swimsuits are perfect for her body," another chimed in.

Also promoting Prada Beauty last year was this shot. Melting fans with her gorgeous smile, Emma Watson chilled out on a boat as she gazed at the adorable dog she was holding up, but fans weren't just eyeing up her four-legged friend. Rocking a chunky-knit sweater in white, plus a bandana, Emma stripped to a teeny pair of string bikini bottoms, showing some cheek and making instant headlines for the photo.

Emma Watson has never disclosed her Prada Beauty paycheck, but with over 70 million people to influence on IG, chances are, she's getting paid in the seven figures. Of directing the Prada Paradoxe fragrance campaign she also starred in two years ago, Emma told Harper's Bazaar:

“I was very specific that, if I’m going to do this, I want to tell a story and I want to be a real character who is going to do something. To tell my own story and frame myself, to get to be in charge of my own image felt genuinely exciting.”
