Emma Watson, Rachel Bilson, Christina Hendricks Radiate at Costume Gala

“Harry Potter” star Emma Watson has not been a red carpet regular in recent months, but she made sure to dazzle at the Costume Institute Gala for the opening of “American Woman: Fashioning a National Identity.”

In a stunning white dress, Watson found a way to stand-out in a pack that also included such knockouts as Bar Refaeli, Eva Mendes, Eva Longoria, Claire Danes, Kate Hudson and Zoe Saldana.

Elsewhere, “OC” cutie Rachel Bilson looked as adorable as ever, while voluptuous Christina Hendricks represented a noteworthy contrast to many of the petite female celebrities, even if it was not her best personal look.
