Not many A-levels students receive an invite to an ultra exclusive dinner hosted by fashion maestro Karl Lagerfeld, but then again Emma Watson isn't your average schoolgirl. The 17-year-old actress, who recently appeared at number 15 in Forbes magazine's list of top earning celebs under 25, has become something of a Chanel ambassador of late – wearing the French house's luxurious clothes to all her red carpet events.
And Wednesday night's bash was no exception, as Emma arrived at London’s Nobu restaurant in a shimmering sequinned jacket bearing the legendary brand's double C logo. Clearly confident about her style – she recently revealed she never uses a stylist to help her with her wardrobe choices – the Harry Potter star completed her highly groomed look with a generous sweep of ruby-red lipstick.
The young film star, who is due to hit small screens over Christmas as the lead in TV production Ballet Shoes, rubbed shoulders with a host of glamorous names from the world of showbiz and fashion during the private dinner. Her fellow guests included Sean Lennon, models Kate Moss and Irina Lazareanu – both former fiancées of Pete Doherty – and pop princesses Kylie Minogue and Natalie Imbruglia.
Chanel director Karl was hosting the private dinner for his close friends ahead of Thursday's highly anticipated Paris-Londres show which will be the first time the label has ever held a fashion show in London.
