On Practical Magic&nbsp;2's candlelit blue carpet, the British actress takes fashion inspiration from her co-star, Sandra Bullock.&nbsp;

Maisie Williams is embracing spooky season early this year while promoting&nbsp;Practical Magic 2. This September, the beloved '90s cult classic is finally getting a sequel, and Williams continues to take notes from the witchy style playbook of her on-screen mom, Sandra Bullock.&nbsp;
At the movie's photocall and premiere in London, Williams referenced Bullock's past red carpet looks. For the premiere on August 26, Williams put her own spin on Bullock's iconic blood-red two-piece ensemble from the&nbsp;Forces of Nature premiere in 1999. For the photocall the following day, Williams seems to have borrowed directly from Bullock's archive, rewearing a vintage black gown that Bullock first wore to the&nbsp;Infamous&nbsp;premiere in 2006.&nbsp;
Now a generational favorite, Practical Magic first introduced audiences to the supernatural Owens sisters, their inescapable family curse, and iconic midnight margaritas in 1998, adapted from novelist Alice Hoffman's 1995 book of the same name.&nbsp;

Leading ladies Nicole Kidman and Sandra Bullock reprise their roles as Sally and Gillian Owens and serve as producers alongside Denise Di Novi. Newcomers Joey King and Maisie Williams join the franchise as Sally's daughters, Antonia and Kylie, respectively. Also, Stockard Channing and Dianne Wiest will reprise their roles as Aunt Frances and Aunt Jet.
Based on Hoffman's 2021 novel The Book of Magic, the sequel film follows the Owens family in a multi-generational struggle as they attempt to break the curse once and for all. The film is scheduled for theatrical release on September 11, 2026, with some early showings starting the day before. We can't wait to see what new spells will be cast in Practical Magic's highly anticipated next chapter.&nbsp;
Below, discover more about the looks that Maisie Williams debuted at the Practical Magic 2 premiere in London.&nbsp;

In a custom dress from British designer&nbsp;Ellie Misner, Williams channels Bullock's '90s aesthetic for the Practical Magic 2 premiere. With her boatneck style, corseted top, and blood-red satin skirt, Williams directly references Bullock's two-piece set from the Forces of Nature premiere.&nbsp;
Still, Williams makes the look her own with a train that cascades down the skirt and a gorgeous Bulgari high-jewelry necklace that brings out the rich red of her ensemble.&nbsp;

Styled by Dino Bonačić, Williams transforms Bullock's original 2006 dress from the Infamous premiere. For the Practical Magic 2 photocall, Williams sports the vintage black gown, complete with its asymmetrical, almost off-the-shoulder straps and the gathered skirt that falls into a long train.
She keeps the original dress's draping, but the bodice seems tailored for a slightly more structured silhouette. Williams adds her personal touch to the outfit by accessorizing with a mini chainmail coin purse, a brooch pinned to the dress's collar, and a pair of layered necklaces.&nbsp;
If these alluring looks are any indication, we can't wait to see if Williams looks to Bullock again for red-carpet style inspiration during the rest of their&nbsp;Practical Magic 2 press tour.&nbsp;
