Emma Watson looks effortlessly chic in a black mesh top and light-blue denim jeans as she steps out in Paris

Emma Watson looked effortlessly chic as she left her hotel in Paris for a night out on the town on Friday.
The actress, 35, turned heads in a black mesh top paired with light-blue barrel-leg jeans, flashing a warm smile for the cameras.
To ward off the evening chill, she layered an oversized beige jacket with a black leather collar over her shoulders.
Emma completed the look with black leather boots as she confidently strutted down the street.
She styled her light brown hair in a voluminous blowout for the evening and opted for minimal makeup to highlight her natural beauty.

Emma's outing comes after her dad warned the parents of the new Harry, Ron and Hermione of the 'impact of fame on children' as filming for the HBO Harry Potter TV series begins.
The latest leading trio were finally announced this week after months of speculation - with Dominic McLaughlin landing the title role, while Arabella Stanton is set to play Hermione Granger and Alastair Stout will portray Ron Weasley.
Emma played Hermione for ten years in the Harry Potter film series, and now her dad Chris has told of how he worked hard to keep her 'grounded.'
He told Times Radio: 'As a parent, you have to be scared... This can be a very difficult thing for a parent and child to handle, or not.
'It certainly helped that I don't actually watch movies, it's not a big thing in the house, and so it was easier for us to keep her feet on the ground.'
He added: 'Normal life continued as far as possible: her homework would go back to school on motorbikes, admittedly, but she had to do her homework and check in.'
Filming for the new HBO series started this week in France with cast and crew setting up on the Île de Sein off the coast of Brittany where they are thought to be re-creating the famous moment that Hagrid said, 'You're a wizard Harry!'
JK Rowling gave her approval to the trio cast as the new child stars of the multi-million-pound TV adaptation - after previously giving short shrift to racists complaining about producers' picks.
There has been some online backlash against what has been branded ' woke ' reinterpreting of the wizarding franchise based on the seven bestselling books by Rowling, 59, which prompted eight movie versions.
But the multi-millionaire author yesterday gave her first public response to the new Harry Potter television casting announcement, with showbusiness insiders suggesting she would have a key role in the new productions.
One fan took to X, formerly known as Twitter, asking the bestselling author to inform the new recruits the wizarding franchise's creator felt about their casting.
And Rowling responded by declaring: 'All three are wonderful. I couldn't be happier.'
The writer was replying to a tweet which said: '@jk_rowling @streamonmax @harrypotter Please tell Dominic, Arabella and Alistair that they are already loved by the fandom and we can't wait to see the show! We wish them all the best and that they have a magic time.'
The new adaptation will be spread across seven seasons, equal to the number of books - although there were eight films with the final Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows split into two parts.
The HBO TV show is said to be costing £75million per episode - and the three child actors taking the lead roles have been tipped to land themselves even bigger fortunes than the original stars.
Producers Francesca Gardiner and Mark Mylod praised the 'wonderful' talent of the three newcomers when making Tuesday's casting announcement.

They said: 'After an extraordinary search led by casting directors Lucy Bevan and Emily Brockmann, we are delighted to announce we have found our Harry, Hermione, and Ron.
'The talent of these three unique actors is wonderful to behold, and we cannot wait for the world to witness their magic together onscreen.
'We would like to thank all the tens of thousands of children who auditioned. It's been a real pleasure to discover the plethora of young talent out there.'
Rowling released the first Harry Potter novel Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone in 1997, followed by Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets the following year.
Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban was released in 1999, followed by Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire in 2000.
Three years later Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix was published and Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince in 2005.
The final book, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows was released in 2007.
The first movie was released in 2001 and the final one came out in 2011. They played their roles for a decade.

Major mobile network is giving customers FREE access to Disney+ – check your account now before it's gone

DISNEY+ fans can now bag three months of the streaming service completely free – but the deal won't be around for long. The offer is being handed out by Vodafone to eligible customers across the UK via the VeryMe Rewards app. 2 It runs from 5 June 2025 until 8 June 2025, so you've only got a short window to grab it. To claim it, open the My Vodafone app on your smartphone, head to the VeryMe Rewards section, and tap on the Disney+ banner if it's available to you. Hit 'Claim' and follow the steps to activate your free 3-month subscription to Disney+ Standard with Ads. The offer is open to new and returning Disney+ subscribers aged 18 or over. There's no catch – you'll get full access to Disney+ content with ads, and you can cancel at any time. If you don't cancel after three months, you'll be charged £4.99 per month starting automatically. The Disney+ Standard with Ads plan includes everything from classic Disney favourites to Marvel blockbusters and exclusive original series. You can stream on up to two devices at once in Full HD quality. Featured on the platform is The Stolen Girl, a gripping mystery about the kidnapping of nine-year-old Lucia following a sleepover at her friend's house. Other titles available include Flintoff, the raw documentary on the sporting icon, Good American Family, a chilling true-life adoption tale, and The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives. Also on offer is Dying for Sex, a heartbreakingly funny FX series that's been getting rave reviews. All are included in the standard plan, so you won't miss out on any content. Only one subscription can be claimed per user, and you'll need to check your VeryMe Rewards to see if you qualify. If you're already paying for Disney+, you'll need to cancel and wait until your billing period ends before you can resubscribe and use the offer – if eligible. This comes just as Disney+ prepares to raise its prices. From 24 March, the Premium annual plan went from £79.90 to £109.90, and monthly Premium jumped from £7.99 to £10.99. The cheaper ad-supported tier now costs £4.99 a month – the same as Vodafone's offer once the trial ends. But Vodafone isn't the only way to watch without paying. Selected Samsung phones, tablets and laptops come with either six or twelve months of Disney+ Standard. The perk applies to devices bought recently and some older models too. Check your eligibility on Samsung's Boost page. Join or upgrade to Uber One's annual subscription, and you may receive an email offering 12 months of Disney+ Standard. It's worth checking your inbox or app notifications if you're a subscriber. If you bank with Lloyds and have a Club Lloyds account, you can choose a Disney+ subscription as your free yearly lifestyle benefit. It's easy to activate through your online banking or app. With rising streaming costs, these hidden perks could save you more than £100 a year. If you're already paying for Disney+, it might be time to cancel, check your subscriptions, and claim a free one through your network, bank or tech provider. SUBSCRIPTION TRICK – SAVE HUNDREDS! Once you've checked your subscription renewals, try the swap trick too... Here's a clever method from The Sun's tech editor Sean Keach: Look, streaming bills are a nightmare. Especially when it comes to TV. There are loads of services – all packed with top telly – that demand your cash. So consider rotating them instead. Cancel all of them but, say, Disney+, then watch that for a month. Now bin it, and move on to Netflix, and enjoy that content library. Then scrap that, and swap to Amazon's Prime Video for the third month. Once you're done (or you've added a fourth service to your mix), start over from the beginning. It means you get to watch all of the top TV shows and movies on these services without paying for a full 12 months for each. You'll save hundreds over a year. Picture Credit: Sean Keach 2

Hana Cross is the epitome of chic in a white figure-hugging gown as she attends the Boodles Boxing Ball - amid ex Brooklyn Beckham's ongoing family feud

Hana Cross was the epitome of chic in a white gown as she attended the Boodles Boxing Ball 2025 in aid of Home and Homes for Children on Friday. The ex-girlfriend of Brooklyn Beckham, 26, showed off her model figure in the white cotton floor-length Ann Demeulemeester dress, which is worth £800. She added inches to her statuesque frame as the beauty slipped into a pair of white heeled sandals. To accessorise, Hana kept it simple and elegant with a set of silver earrings which featured an elegant diamond design. Hana completed her look with a classic middle-parted updo and opted for a soft glam makeup look. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new Showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. Hana's ex Brooklyn has recently become estranged from father David Beckham, 50, and mother Victoria, 51, with his heiress wife Nicola Peltz being blamed for the rift in the once tight-knit family. The Beckhams have largely remained silent in public about the rift, but they are said to fear that Brooklyn is falling increasingly under the control of Nicola. Brooklyn recently said he is excited to build his own family with wife Nicola, as tensions continue to simmer between him and his parents. During a PDA-packed video shared released by Glamour Magazine , the eldest son of Victoria and David gushes multiple times that he can see kids in his future, and that Nicola will be an 'amazing' mother. Brooklyn appeared to nail his loyalties to the mast when he posted an image on Instagram of himself and Nicola riding a motorbike , writing: 'My whole world x I will love you forever x I always choose you baby x you're the most amazing person I know xx me and you forever baby.' Hana and Brooklyn split in August 2019 after eight months of dating, in the wake of a string of explosive public rows. He began dating Nicola two months later. The eldest Beckham child had also previously dated actress Chloe Moretz and TikToker-turned-singer Madison Beer before finding love with Nicola. Hana is currently single, but was linked to Kourtney Kardashian's ex Scott Disick and Brooklyn's brother in law, Bradley Peltz. After the split from Brooklyn, Hana went on to write a scathing song about an ex in 2020, which friends insisted was about Brooklyn. The lyrics include: 'You broke my heart and said let's be friends but I never heard from you again and that's kind of mean.' 'I saw us as meant to be and you saw me as temporary and that's kind of rough. 'I'm confused and I'm sad, I don't know what I did but you said it wasn't my fault but without reason how can I know?' But there seems to be no bad blood between Hana and Brooklyn as there appeared to be little said over Hana and Bradley's romantic evening. A source, who spotted the pair at the Beverly Hills Hotel's Cabana Cafe in February 2024, told The Sun on Sunday's Bizarre column that it looked 'intimate'. The source said: 'They looked very intimate and like they were deep in conversation. 'Brad didn't seem to mind that Hana had been in a serious relationship with his sister's husband, or who saw them together. 'He was obviously out to impress, taking her to the most famous spot in LA, where money is no object.'
