After attending a screening of The Bling Ring at Universal CityWalk, Emma Watson and co-stars Katie Chang, Israel Broussard, Taissa Farmiga and Claire Julien sat down with MTV’s Josh Horowitz for a Q&A session about the movie.
Oops, the Q&A video embedding doesn’t seem to work right now. You can view the Q&A session here. They’ve broken it up into a number of clips.
Emma talks style and beauty tips in the French issue of Marie Claire and online. Translation by Neve.
Q: At what age did you find your style?
A: I’m still looking for it! I always know what I feel like wearing on the red carpet. But it’s more complicated in my daily life – it usually depends on my mood… so it varies!
Q: What is your beauty routine on an ordinary day?
A: When I’m not working, I usually go for less. My skin needs some rest between two makeup sessions. I use moisturiser and go for some lip balm, a bit of mascara and a thin line of natural, brown eyeliner.
Q: An unforgettable facial treatment?
A: In New York, any personnalized facial treatment from Advanced Skin Care Day Spa. It’s amazing how it makes my face look healthier and more glowing.
Q: Your secret after a night out?
A: The Blush In Love Pêche Joue-Joue from Lancôme’s spring collection, all over the face. It’s very light so the result is subtle. It makes the skin glow without being over the top. You just look fresh and healthy.
Q: What kind of exercise do you do?
A: I’ve been practising yoga for a year with a coach. And I walk a lot and I go for a run if there’s a park nearby. Some greenery, some music and here I go!
Q: The perfume that feels most like you?
A: Trésor Midnight Rose by Lancôme. I usually wear it on the week-end or when I go out in the evening. To me, it means fun so I usually avoid it when I’m working.
Q: Your go-to moisturiser?
A: Rose Soothing & Protective Moisturiser by MV Organic Skincare. I love its smell and its super soft formula is great for my sensitive skin. I use the entire collection!
[Note: Emma is actually featured on the MV Organic Skincare website as the product is mentioned in an article about her makeup routine in Cosmo (a scan is provided): ]
Q: A personal beauty tip?
A: I always press a warm towel sprinkled with lavender oil before removing my makeup. It makes the whole process less abrasive for the skin.
Q: What advice did your mother give you?
A: Never let yourself go. She is very classy and keeps inspiring me.
Q: What is the best definition of beauty according to you?
A: Believing in yourself, being self-confident, it makes you look beautiful. That was Audrey Hepburn’s case.
New stills from Sofia Coppola’s The Bling Ring have been released. The film stars Emma Watson, Israel Broussard, Katie Chang, Claire Julien, Taissa Farmiga, Leslie Mann and Gavin Rossdale. The Bling Ring opens in limited release on June 12.
Emma Watson has the cover feature in the May issue of British GQ magazine. In the interview Emma talks about The Bling Ring and includes new photos, in character as Nikki, by Mark Seliger. Thanks to Vogue.co.uk and Roberto for the images, and an excerpt of the interview below from www.gq-magazine.co.uk. Read the full article in the May issue on sale tomorrow, April 4. Also available on iPad, Google Play and Kindle Fire.
“When I read the script and I realised that essentially it was a meditation on fame and what it’s become to our society, I had to do it,” says Watson of The Bling Ring. “The character is everything that I felt strongly against – she’s superficial, materialistic, vain, amoral. She’s all of these things and I realised that I hated her. How do you play someone you hate? But I found it really interesting and it gave me a whole new insight into what my job, or my role as an actress, could be.”
There was another reason Watson chose the risqué role: it wasn’t a period drama. “Really I was open-minded about doing anything, but the one thing I didn’t want to do was get myself into a corset because I was worried I’d never get out again,” she says. “I knew it would be a really comfortable thing to do, but I felt… I had to dive into something really different. This has been a really big departure for me; it’s a really big character. That’s so exciting for me because it meant I was really acting.”
The second trailer for the Rogen/Goldberg comedy This is the End has been released. The film stars James Franco, Jonah Hill, Seth Rogen, Jay Baruchel, Danny McBride, and Craig Robinson playing themselves as “six friends trapped in a house after a series of strange and catastrophic events devastate Los Angeles”. Emma Watson, in a cameo role, also plays herself and in a brief scene in the trailer we can see she’s pretty handy with an axe.
This is the End opens June 12.
Warning: This is a red band trailer (mature audiences) and contains graphic violence and language.

Actor Richard Griffiths passed away yesterday from complications following heart surgery at age 65. He had a long and honored career, but was probably best known to Harry Potter fans as Harry’s uncle, Vernon Dursley. He also appeared with Emma Watson as Great Uncle Matthew in the 2007 BBC film Ballet Shoes.
Our condolences to Richard Griffiths’ family and friends.
Emma Watson is now immortalized in wax with the launch of her figure at Madame Tussauds in London. “Emma is the perfect addition and we’re very lucky to add her to our A-list line up. She’s a true English rose known and loved by millions of film and fashion fans around the world. Elie Saab donated the stunning gown Emma is wearing and we’re thrilled to have his involvement. She will feel right at home among a host of other glamorous personalities and we know she will be a huge hit with all our guests!” – Nicole Fenner
Emma’s 23rd birthday is coming up soon. Every year Emma-Watson.net creates a birthday project as a way for fans to share their feelings and show their support for Emma. A simple birthday card has been the best way that lets the most people participate, so that is what we are doing again this year. You can send in birthday messages, art work, poems, stories, photos or anything else you can think of to say Happy Birthday. We’ll try to include everything. The finished card will be posted online.
