Hollywood stars Sandra Bullock and Nicole Kidman have embraced witchy romanticism as they turned heads in striking black ensembles at a photocall for Practical Magic 2.

The Oscar-winning actresses reprise their roles as sisters Sally and Gillian Owens in the sequel to 1998 cult classic film Practical Magic, which follows the witches as they navigate life with otherworldly powers.

They are joined by The Kissing Booth star Joey King and Game Of Thrones actress Maisie Williams in the latest instalment, and the four stars wowed crowds on Thursday with bohemian, witch-inspired looks.

US actress Bullock, 62, opted for a monochromatic look with a tailored black blazer which she paired with a two-tone black and white asymmetric skirt with lace trim detailing.

She broke up the dark ensemble with a matching white satin neck scarf, and completed the look with heeled black sandals while she wore her brown hair in a loose, wavy half-up style.

The 27-year-old actress, known for Ramona And Beezus, wowed crowds in a full-length black knit gown with a ruffle detail around the trim, which she layered over a matching two-piece.

King accessorised the ensemble with several ornate gold rings, and completed the look with a full face of make-up and her long auburn hair straightened.

The Emmy-nominated star also brightened up the dark outfit with a silver choker and layered chain necklaces, as well as chunky hoop earrings, as she embraced a moody and elegant style.

Channing, known for starring as Rizzo in Grease, stood out from the sea of dark outfits among her colleagues in a green ensemble which instead blended earthy forest tones to create a magical, grounded vibe.

She wore a monochromatic outfit comprised of bright trousers and a flowing shirt, with her hair in beachy waves, embracing the glamour of the event with a full face of make-up.

They were joined by fellow stars of the film such as Solly McLeod and Xolo Mariduena, as well as director Susanne Bier – who wore a satin white shirt with burgundy trousers.

Practical Magic 2 will be released in Irish cinemas on September 11th.
