Emma Watson Makes a Fashion Splash in NYC!

Emma Watson made a big splash at the premiere of Darren Aronofsky‘s blockbuster flick Noah this week.

Emma-WatsonThe biblical blockbuster movie has already generated criticism before its official release; however, Watson won only praise as she hit the red carpet at NYC’s Ziegfeld Theater to celebrate the opening.

Outshining her co-star Jennifer Connelly, sexy trendsetter Watson, known for her cutting-edge fashion, wore a stunning full-length black gown in duchess satin from Oscar de la Renta’s Fall 2014 collection.

Though this type of dress would normally fare far better on a much older woman, the pixie-like starlet pulled it off, looking every inch the rich, classy and elegant lady she is rapidly turning into.

The actress has been doing the rounds this week fulfilling her promotional commitments in New York. On Tuesday, she was spotted outside the iconic Ed Sullivan Theatre, home of The Late Show with David Letterman – where the genial host interviewed her about her latest role in the film that stars Russell Crow in the title role.

Looking androgynously stylish in a smart black trouser suit and crisp white shirt as she posed for photos outside the studio doors, and the fitted ensemble – in particular the skinny ‘cigarette pant’ trousers – complimented her slender frame.

On the show, Watson found it hard to cover-up her embarrassment when Letterman asked about animal sex (Oo-er). It was a priceless moment indeed, just to see the sheer look of shock on her pretty (but innocent) British face.

“Who sexes the animals?” asks Dave. “You know what I mean?”

“Um, I don’t quite understand what you’re saying,” replies an obviously flustered Watson.

“My son is very fond of turtles,” says Dave. “And he will come to me with a turtle and ask me, ‘Dad, is this a boy or a girl?’ And I know how to sex a turtle.”

Um, red faces all-around!

Rumors also swirled this week that the 23-year-old star has hired a former NYPD officer to act as a bodyguard – for the spellbinding sum of $150,000 for her own personal protection. A recent incident while shooting her latest film left her shaken and fearing for her life, so the word is she has hired ex-cop Denise Morrone to protect her.

Well, it has been reported that young Emma is worth a measley $38 million (give or take), so I reckon she can afford a bob-or-two on a bodyguard… Don’t you!?

“Noah,” sails into theaters this Friday.
