Androgynous chic: Emma Watson looked stunning in a pair of white lace shorts, shirt, tie, blazer and bowler hat as she shot the new Lancome advert in Paris


She certainly doesn’t conform to the stereotype of the emaciated catwalk model.

Indeed, Emma Watson appears to have much more in common with the curvier actresses who have preceded her in her latest modelling campaign.

The 20-year-old Harry Potter star, who has been signed up as the face of cosmetics company Lancome, was seen filming scenes for a new advert in Paris.

And her healthy figure echoes that of the screen stars including Kate Winslet, Penelope Cruz and Isabella Rossellini, all of whom have fronted advertising campaigns for the French beauty brand in the past.

Watson slipped into a pair of white lace shorts, peach blazer, tie and bowler hat with nude court shoes for the upcoming campaign, which is being shot by photographer Mario Testino.

It is unclear whether the campaign was for the brand’s make-up or perfume, but with a huge legion of fans it is bound to fly off the shelves when released.

The night before, Watson was seen wearing a strapless peach chiffon dress, which she teamed with a black biker jacket and towering peep-toed shoe boots on the shoot.

Her short hair was slicked back as she strolled through the romantically-lit streets.

Emma, who has previously fronted campaigns for Burberry, has been leaving cryptic clues for her fans that she had been signed by Lancôme on her Twitter page all week.

Last Friday she first tweeted: 'A new venture is starting - what can it be? Follow my clues and you will see...'

This was followed with: 'I'll pierce your skin if you hold me wrong but I'll love you forever if you pass me on,' which referred to Lancôme's logo - a rose.

Watson, who is most famous for her role as Hermione Granger in the Harry Potter films, has worked with Testino, 56, before on fashion shoots for Burberry and Vogue.

Last week the star announced that she was postponing her studies at Brown University in the U.S. to re-focus on her career.

The actress was less than two years into a degree in women’s history and drama at the prestigious Rhode Island university. However, she told fans that juggling the two had become ‘a little impossible’.

She was regularly forced to fly back and forth between London and the U.S. while the final two Harry Potter films were being made as well as undertaking regular fashion shoots in the UK.

She is also currently shooting her upcoming film, My Week With Marilyn, in London alongside Kenneth Branagh and is also about to begin a heavy promotion schedule for the final Harry Potter film, The Deathly Hallows, part two, which is released this summer.
