Emma Watson attended the 2016 Museum Of Modern Art Film Benefit – Tom Hanks: A Tribute at the Museum of Modern Art in New York on Tuesday. MoMA honored Tom Hanks for being “an enduring star and a steadfast screen presence for more than 30 years. Embodying the decent, hardworking American “everyman” since the early days of his career, Hanks is equally capable in screwball comedies, action films, and award-winning dramas. Beyond his many acting accomplishments—including two Academy Awards—he has stepped behind the camera as director and producer of several acclaimed film and television projects. His versatility often leads to comparisons with such screen icons as James Stewart, Cary Grant, and Jack Lemmon.”
Emma co-stars with Hanks in The Circle due out next April.

And we have scans of an article about Emma’s Chanel wardrobe from the Mexican magazine Popcorn thanks to HarryPotterLA.
Wolf Spirit sent us this translation:
“Unlike most girls her age, Emma Watson has perfectly clear the style for which she wants to be remembered and that’s non other than Chanel. Yes, the young English 17 year old girl, born in France, who jumped to stardom portraying Hermione Granger in the Harry Potter movies attends all her events wearing designs from the exclusive brand. A great choice, since not only does she manage to look to always look elegant but she also keeps her youthful image with the classic touch that has always distinguished Chanel. And that’s why just because you’re a teenager it doesn’t mean you can’t dress with glamour”.
