Sandra Bullock

Sandra Bullock commanded attention in a black velvet gown with structured shoulders and long sleeves. The look was anchored by an oversized white collar with sharp, pointed lapels that framed a plunging V-neckline, complemented by matching white cuffs at the wrists.

The floor-length skirt skimmed her frame before flaring gently at the hem. She wore her dark hair down in loose waves with a side part, and opted for understated makeup.

Nicole Kidman

Nicole Kidman drew plenty of attention in a sheer black lace gown with a fitted, corseted bodice.

Intricate floral lace detailing ran throughout the design, while a dropped-waist skirt gave way to a jagged, handkerchief-style hem — falling well above the knee on one side and sweeping to the floor on the other.

Joey King

Joey King made a bold statement in a strapless gown featuring a chartreuse-and-black lace bodice with a fitted, sculptural silhouette that curved sharply outward at the hips. Black feathered, wing-like appendages extended from the sides of the bodice, lending the ensemble a dramatic, otherworldly edge.

The gown flowed into a voluminous black mermaid-style skirt finished with a lace-trimmed hem, while a corset-style lace-up detail traced down the back. She completed the ensemble with a delicate pendant necklace and soft, wavy hair.

Maisie Williams

Maisie Williams went for an edgier route in a leather two-piece featuring a hand-painted design of skeletal bird bones rendered in cream and brown against the black leather, accented with sweeping strokes of pale blue.

The set included a structured, long-sleeved top with lace-up detailing at the neckline, paired with a coordinating midi skirt featuring buckle straps and eyelet trim. She finished the look with tall black leather boots, statement gemstone earrings, and slicked-back hair styled with a sleek center part.

"Practical Magic 2" serves as a sequel to the 1998 film based on Alice Hoffman's novel, directed by Griffin Dunne. In the original, Bullock and Kidman starred as sisters Sally and Gillian Owens, two witches raised by their aunts after their parents died from a family curse.

The sisters grew up practicing everyday magic and eventually had to rely on it to destroy the evil spirit of Gillian's abusive boyfriend before it could kill them. The sequel, set 25 years later, follows the Owens family as they uncover new details about their lineage and the origins of their magic.

Bullock and Kidman are both returning as Sally and Gillian Owens, respectively. Sally's daughters, previously played by Evan Rachel Wood (Kylie) and Alexandra Artrip (Antonia), have been recast for the new installment.

King now plays Kylie, while Williams steps into the role of Antonia.

Rounding out the cast are Stockard Channing (Frances Owens), Dianne Wiest (Bridget "Jet" Owens), Lee Pace (Ian Wright), Xolo Maridueña, and Solly McLeod (Thomas Lockland). The film is slated for a theatrical release on September 11.
