Emma Watson joined co-star Logan Lerman for a special screening of The Perks of Being a Wallflower in New York last night.

The 22-year-old actress looked stunning in a white halterneck Brood dress and white heels as she hit the screening hosted by The Cinema Society. The Harry Potter beauty added some colour to her all-white ensemble with bold blue eye shadow and a subtle pink lip.

Earlier in the day, Emma wore a J. Mendel dress for an appearance on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon, about which she tweeted: ‘Danced with @jimmyfallon tonight . #anotherboxticked : ).’

Talking about her role in The Perks of Being a Wallflower, in which she plays American high school student Sam, Emmatold AP: ‘I hope what [Harry Potter fans] can see is that I am able to transform, that there are other sides of me that perhaps they haven’t seen yet, and that they might allow me a little bit of room.’

She continued: ‘I mean, just doing American really is different. People have said to me that they keep forgetting it’s me when they see the movie, which for me is more than enough. That’s a success in itself for me, really.’

Emma also revealed that despite having already seen the new movie twice, she cried at the film’s premiere at the Toronto Film Festival last week.

She said: ‘This is, like, the third time I’ve seen the movie and it still makes me cry. I had to run out and try and fix my face for the Q&A because I was such a wreck.’
