Emma Watson attended the GQ Men of the Year awards earlier today. Wearing a leather jacket and Alexander McQueen tartan dress, she was on hand to present this year’s “Inspiration of the Year” award to Mario Testino.

Update: Emma was briefly interviewed on the red carpet. She found the evening hysterical.

Update 2: Another video from Men of the Year awards. Emma talks about what it is like to work with Mario Testino.

Emma has posted a new app on her facebook page giving fans a chance to ‘win one of fifty bottles of Lancôme’s new fragrance Trésor Midnight Rose or an exclusive prize from Emma herself’.

Update: This is now closed.

Emma Watson’s video for Lancôme is now online. Emma has posted the advertisement for Lancôme’s new fragrance, Trésor Midnight Rose, on her website and facebook. Shot by Mario Testino in Paris, the video features Emma and French actor Cyril Descours and tells the story of two people who meet by chance and romance blossoms.

“What I love about this story that we put together is that it’s almost fate, like chance, that brings the two of them together. You never know what’s going to be around the corner – that’s what we wanted to get across in the fragrance – that life is magical with little surprises” – Emma Watson.

Honorable mentions to Jia, Qurcya, Sophie, Sophie, iceza and Hayley. Thank you to everyone that entered.

The French magazine Madame Figaro has an interview with Emma Watson and features a new photo from the shoot by Tom Munro. The text is in French, but Neve lists some highlights from the article and they appear below.

• Emma talks about the Lancôme campaign and says that she suggested some of the places she likes in Paris and where the short film was shot: the café de Flore, which Emma considers is “quintessential Paris” (note: it’s quite famous in Paris, that’s where Jean-Paul Sartre and Simone de Beauvoir hung out with their existentialist friends) or Shakespeare & Co, a bookstore for English books right by the Seine (note: Hemingway used to go there all the time when he was living in Paris in the 20s)
• she likes macarons by Ladurée
• she was born in Le Marais (a very boho/trendy/gay area in Paris) and lived Maisons-Laffitte until she was 5 – everybody is French on her mother side of the family and she used to speak French fluently but has forgotten it all
• she likes clothes by Isabel Marant, APC, Chloe and Agnès b.
• she talks about People Tree, Brown (she says that being a student gives her some welcome structure, in comparison with the superficiality and craziness of the movie industry), Hermione, the end of HP, makeup… (nothing new for us fans!)
• her favourite authors are William Blake, T.S. Eliot, Keats, Shelley, the Brontë sisters and Jane Austen
• she chose to play in Perks because Sam was a far cry from Hermione. Sam is just an ordinary, contemporary teenage girl, with a tough childhood and low self-confidence. She’s going to find balance in a platonic friendship with a boy. Emma said the part was difficult for her, because she’s not like Sam at all.
• she is amazed by the sex-appeal of Marilyn Monroe or Ava Gardner (who she considers were the most beautiful actresses of the Golden Age in Hollywood) but feels closer to actresses who are more “natural”, “human”: Natalie Portman, for instance, or especially Julia Roberts
• playing with Michelle Williams and Kenneth Brannagh put her in a very adult universe (as opposed to HP)
• she’d love to work with many directors: Darren Arronofsky or Baz Luhrmann among others
• she loves acting but would consider writing one day.

Update: Thanks to UHP we have the photo used in the article without the text. You can also read the article online (in French) here.
