She may play a trashy criminal but Emma Watson was all class
at The Bling Ring screening in New York City... we wouldn't expect
anything less
Less trashy, more classy: Emma Watson
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. The eagerly-awaited film, based on a true story about a gang
of celebrity obsessed criminals who ransacked A-listers homes, is out
in the US on Friday
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. Emma Watson attends the "The Bling Ring" New York Screening
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.”
