Sporting an edgy black leather jacket over a matching black dress, Harry Potter star Emma showed off her effortless style as she made her way towards a waiting car.
Black hobnail boots completed the look, while a limited use of make-up accentuated the actress’s naturally pretty features.
With fans quickly gathering as instantly recognisable Emma prepared to depart, she was all the more noticeable by virtue of the half dozen red roses she clutched in her right hand.

Go for that mini tote by Givenchy like Emma
Emma Watson has been spotted jetsetting back to London in a chic all black look consisting of some flat combat boots, knit dress and leather moto.
The Beauty and Beast star looked urbane and undeniably cool as she stepped off the plane but the tiny tote that topped off her look was what captured our hearts.
The Horizon bag comes in numerous sizes and is in the mini size here. It also has a crossbody strap as well! so it is super practical! It's really perfect for travelling.
Lucky for us, we can buy it direct from Nordstrom right now. But we also have a high street edit down below with picks from Kendall + Kylie and Ralph Lauren.

The previous day she put on a glamorous appearance in a striking blue dress with co-star and fellow Brit Dan Stevens, 34, who plays the Beast.
The Harry Potter star wore a custom-made Louis Vuitton frock, cinched in at the waist with a small cut-out panel flashing a hint of flesh.
With a halterneck neckline and and a colour-block bandeau fastening around the shoulders, she put on an edgy display.

And flashing a glimpse of her toned legs, she teamed it with a pair of black designer ankle boots.
She posed alongside Dan Stevens, who looked dapper in an olive green suit, coordinating shirt and funky glitter-encrusted Dr Martens.
In the new Beauty And The Beast, Belle – and not her father – is an inventor, and new songs have been added to those featured on the 1991 film’s soundtrack.

Emma recently opened up dished about imbuing her Belle with fearless girl power in the new live action version of the classic fairy tale, in an interview with Entertainment Weekly, due out on Friday.
'In the original you don't get much sense of Belle, who she is before she meets Beast, so I wanted to create a backstory,' the brunette shared.
'We made her this mad wacky inventor,' in effect taking over from her father's character in the cartoon.
The opening song sets up the challenges Belle faces when it shows the boys going to school as the girls do the laundry.
She invents a washing machine powered by a donkey that frees the little girls from their chores and gives her the time to teach one how to read.

But the deeply suspicious villagers destroy it.
'They don’t think women should read and it goes further than that,' the Harry Potter star said.
'Breaking the washing machine is symbolic of ... them really trying to break her spirit and trying to push her and mold her into a more "acceptable" version of herself.'
It's probably little wonder that Belle finds something to admire in the Beast, played by Downton Abbey's Dan Stevens, when she falls into his clutches.
Of course, we all know that the Beast is a cursed prince condemned by a spell to live in his mansion as a giant hairy monster.

The stunning starlet may be trying out a bold new role, but she revealed she was left in tears looking back at her breakthrough role in Harry Potter.
Emma soared to fame playing Hermione in the film series so was quick to see JK Rowling's spin-off play Harry Potter and the Cursed Child during the theatre production in London.
Revealing she cried happy tears watching her character be played years on by Noma Dumezweni, she told People: It was so strange. It was so emotional seeing Noma’s performance in a way that I had not anticipated at all.
'She walked in the room and I just spontaneously burst into tears … I had played that character so intensely up until that point, that to know that Hermione was going to be okay — I know it sounds crazy — but to know that everything turned out all right and everything in the world was okay, that there was someone else carrying her on and carrying her forward … it was just such a relief.'

Emma also revealed that her latest role "really toughened" her up.
She told the March issue of Elle: 'There is a level of criticism that comes with being an actress and a public figure, which I expect but once you take a stance on something like feminism, that's a completely different ball game. It really toughened me up.'
However, the actress doesn't want the focus to be on her but instead on making the world better.
'Let’s see what we can do to "move the needle" and make a difference,' she said.

The star added that she is a 'sucker' for self-help books.
She shared: 'I love it. I will get really excited reading something like Ariana Huffington's 'The Sleep Revolution'. I am a sucker for anything that promises to change my life."
And the brunette beauty has had numerous people ask her to write a book on feminism but insists she won't be doing something like that until she is older.
She said: 'I need to see and do a bit more first. It's not like I have been reading this material for years and I don't have an encyclopaedic knowledge. It can be a lot of pressure sometimes, as people expect me to know so much.
'I'm no expert, and when people push me into a corner of "Here's Emma Watson to lecture you on feminism", it's uncomfortable because I am aware I have a long way to go. I am not sure I deserve all the respect I get yet, but I'm working on it.'
Beauty And The Beast is due out on March 17.
