Emma Watson Flashes Underwear
Emma Watson reprises her role as Hermione Granger in Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, opening later this month.
Emma Watson ditches the dazzling red-carpet frock to party in micro shorts after wardrobe malfunction.Walking down the red carpet in her designer gown Emma Watson looked effortlessly at home despite her tender years.But shortly afterwards the teenager's poise evaporated as her dress fell apart during the National Movie Awards ceremony.
The 18 year-old was due to present the Best Family Film gong at the event held at the Royal Festival Hall when she suffered a dramatic wardrobe malfunction. As she stepped on stage to announce the winner the back of her Grecian-style Alexander McQueen gown fell open. The young actress was swiftly surrounded by flailing helpers who tried unsuccessfully to re-fasten the cream floor-length dress.
Miss Watson was forced to announce the award, to winning animated film WALL-E, while her dress gaped. Even host James Nesbitt attempted unsuccessfully to preserve her modesty.
The starlet took her misfortune in good humour - rolling her eyes at the audience and gesturing at her parents who watched helplessly from their seats.
An audience member said: 'The whole back of her dress fell open and they had to get several lackeys to try and do it up. It wasn't televised as it was during the trailers but the gown was gaping open at the back as she gamely carried on. 'Unfortunately the men who tried to help her couldn't do it up and even James Nesbitt tried to get involved. However by the time she sat down again she seemed to have been pinned back together.'
Later that evening at the afterparty at Claridges hotel James Nesbitt commented: 'Yes she had a bit of a problem with her dress but she was very professional about it, you could hardly tell. I tried to help her do it back up but I wasn't much help - it's been a long time since I did anything like that.' Meanwhile attempts to mend Harry Potter star's outfit after the awards were also unsuccessful. Instead of attending the party at Claridges Miss Watson went straight upstairs to a suite in the hotel to try and fasten the ensemble. But after several failed attempts to secure it she abandoned her designer attire. Left with limited wardrobe choices she opted for something more comfortable and headed to Mayfair club Mahiki to join friends dressed in a mismatched ensemble of plaid shorts and oversized cardigan.
