Not many woman can make a plunging thigh-skimming LBD dress look classy.
But not many ladies have the class of former child star Emma Watson on the red carpet.
And although the 23-year-old plays trash-talking criminal Nicki in The Bling Ring, her outfit couldn’t be further from ghetto as she glided into a New York screening of the eagerly anticipated film on Tuesday.
Opting for a simple black designer gown with chic black shoes, Emma kept her ruby red pout perfectly in place as she made her entrance.

This project is a big deal for the British actress, she has already said she wants people to “see her in a different light” – although we assume she means her acting s𝓀𝒾𝓁𝓁s, the costumes are some of the raunchiest the university student has slipped into since she started her career – scroll down if you don’t believe us.
Emma’s character Nicki is one of the real-life group of teenagers who burgled and ransacked the homes of their favourite celebrities – including Paris Hilton, Lindsay Lohan and Megan Fox – in 2008-9.
Nicki is based upon Alexis Neiers who pleaded guilty to burglary charges and was sentenced to 180 days in jail, with three years’ probation for the gang’s exploits.

In stills released from the Sofia Coppola film, which is out in the UK on July 5 and US this Friday, Emma looks ultra leggy as she reclines on a sofa in a fur coat – giving fans a sneak peak into the decadent criminal nature of the film.
Without doubt, this latest role has been an important one for Emma, who admits to a crisis of confidence after Harry Potter finished.
“It’s called the impostor syndrome. I’m just going: ‘Any moment, someone’s going to find out I’m a total fraud.’ I can’t possibly live up to what everyone thinks I am.”
But right now she’s just happy to be working. “I’m glad that a film like this will help more people see me in a new light. I hope that journey is going to lead to good things.”
