Emma Watson looked effortlessly elegant on Wednesday as she left her H๏τel to head to a show during Milan Fashion Week.

The actress, 33, stepped out in a preppy style outfit, donning a blue pinstripe collared shirt tucked into denim jeans.

She layered a beige tailored coat over the top and added to the classic school uniform inspired get-up by tying a tan jumper around her shoulders.

The Harry Potter star added a gold gemstone necklace and toted her essentials in a small black Prada handbag.

Emma completed her chic aesthetic with oversized sunglᴀsses and the staple of the preppy look – a pair of black leather loafers.

Emma has taken a step back from the spotlight in recent years, to explore other career avenues and interests.

She chose to take a break from being in front of the camera, with her last film, Little Women, released in 2019.

In that time, she has directed a Prada fragrance commercial and has also completed an MA in Creative Writing at University of Oxford, where she wrote a play.

She also recently joined forces with her brother Alex to set up a gin business called Renais, made from upcycling grapes from vineyards – including their father Chris’ in France.

In December, Emma admitted she is ‘so glad’ she made the decision, because it has given her ‘more autonomy’.

Speaking to British Vogue about the change, she said: ‘Because I’m in a career that moves very quickly, the decision to take time to do these things felt like a very big decision.’

The star believes in the astrological concept of a ‘Saturn return’, when Saturn returns to the position it was in when you were born, which happens roughly every 27 to 29 years and is meant to cause realignment in a person’s life.

Emma said she sometimes felt the characters she played on screen were ‘much realer’ than she was and taking a break has given her more freedom.
