According to a report from Britain’s Daily Mail, the actress’ relationship with actor Johnny Simmons has been dealt a bitter blow after he refused to follow her to England where she is studying. The couple met on the set of their movie, The Perks of Being A Wallflower, and were photographed enjoying walks around the Pennsylvania countryside where the film was shot.

In September, Watson and Simmons were snapped enjoying a romantic getaway in New York together, the same month the Harry Potter star enrolled at Oxford University for a semester. According to the Daily Mail, the couple's future is in doubt after he refused to follow her across the Atlantic.

“Emma has been telling people that the relationship is complicated,” a source said. “Johnny has been very distant with her and she’s worried that it’s because he’s overwhelmed by her fame. "She has invited him to come to Oxford, but he has not accepted the offer yet. "She doesn’t want things to be awkward when they reunite to promote the film, but she’s worried the relationship is over before it even began."Wallflower is slated to hit cinemas next year.

Emma Watson needs strong brows to "frame her face". The British actress's make-up artist Charlotte Hayward explained how she enhances Emma's classic beauty.

She admits that defining Emma's beautiful brown eyes is key to achieving the look. "I always add colour and shape to Emma's brows, as they frame her face," she said in an interview with the British edition of Hello! magazine.

"To define the arch, add length and depth and create a modern look I use Suqqu Eyebrow liquid Pen and Benefit Speed Brow Gel keeps her brows in place."Charlotte also revealed that she doesn't need to use much make up on the starlet at all.

Rather than going for all over coverage, the beauty expert simply touches up her skin to make sure it looks as fresh as possible. "I don't like to use a lot of make-up on Emma's skin, as she is so young and pretty," she gushed.

"So I prep her with a professional primer, Lâncome La Base Pro to mattify her T-zone, use a touch of Lâncome Teint Miracle Foundation then add Lâncome Éclat Miracle to her cheek and brow bones to give a dewy radiance."

Emma's natural elegance has created a stir in the fashion world. In the past she has been the face of Burberry and she has recently become the new face Lâncome and their scent Trésor Midnight Rose.

Emma Watson and Duchess Kate Middleton have became British fashion icons, which we all already knew. Now they have been listed in Harper’s Bazaar Britain list them as best dressed. Both dress in regal clothes and always looked polished. It is a nice touch for the stars who have been fan favorites for the past few years. They also listed the likes of Keira Knightly and Kate Moss.

I am thrilled for all of them. I know that Duchess Kate is always so well styled, much like Prince William’s mother was. And Emma has grown up to be such a well-styled person as well. She is not afraid to a take risk, yet she does it in a way that it works. She certainly has done that in more than one way, but I really like that part of her. Maybe she can start her own fashion line?

How do you feel about them being listed in the magazine as fashion icons? I agree mostly with the list. Kate and Emma both have always shown impeccable choices, so they truly deserve to be listed. However, the others in the list also deserve to be listed in their own right as well.

You know autumn’s arrived when the stars start treading the red carpet in tartan frocks. Oh, and when the clocks go back And it gets cold, and leafy. But mainly the tartan thing. Chloe Moretz and Emma Watson have kick-started fashion’s perennial fling with all things tartan – with both starlets wearing this McQ tartan puffball dress in recent weeks.

No, this is not an after-effect of Hermione Granger's Time-Turner. For her latest film, "My Week With Marilyn," Emma Watson cuts a fine '50s form as Lucy, a wardrobe assistant toiling on the Ms. Monroe's movie "The Prince and the Showgirl."

Co-starring Michelle Williams (as Marilyn) and Eddie Redmayne (as Colin Clark), the biopic is based on Colin's account of the on-set strife between Marilyn and fellow actor Laurence Olivier. Now, this first post-"Harry Potter" part may be a small one for Emma (she shot for only a few days to avoid conflicts with her studies at Brown University), but it's one of a couple upcoming roles we're looking forward to. After she spends a week with Marilyn, Emma will hit the books as angsty teen Sam in the big-screen adaptation of Stephen Chbosky's "The Perks of Being a Wallflower."

After countless premieres and red-carpet appearances, Emma Watson has finally found the beauty routine that works for her. Crediting her pixie cut with what she calls a more “experimental” relationship with makeup, the 21-year-old tells Stylelist, “There’s no way to hide when you have short hair. You really have to go for it.”

The secret to her trademark look, which includes flawless skin, bold brows and a pinch of glamour, is an arsenal of reliable beauty tools. “I’m a creature of habit,” she tells Style.com of $45 Giorgio Armani “Beauty Luminous” silk powder (bottom right). “I like to find what works and keep buying it.” She also brightens up with bronzer or blush, like Yves Saint Laurent’s $38 Crème de Blush (top left) because, as Watson puts it, “I am so pale and English.”

But the focal point of Watson’s look is the eye, which she prefers with a bold brow and major lashes. “I get my eyebrows threaded,” she confides. “Blink is really good,” she says of the London-based beauty bar’s line of products, which includes defining pencils (top right).

For that kewpie lash effect, the star looks to $25 “Hypnôse Doll” mascara (bottom left) by Lancôme, for which she is an ambassador. “I’m big into Twiggy so I do bottom lashes and top lashes,” she explains. “This is really cool because it is specifically designed to get that look.”

My Week with Marilyn is an account of the week Marilyn Monroe spent in Britain in 1957 filming the Prince and the Showgirl with Laurence Olivier. The BBC film stars Michelle Williams as the effervescent sexy Marilyn while Kenneth Branagh plays Olivier. Emma Watson plays a wardrobe girl who loses the objects of her affections to the Hollywood star.

The Harry Potter star, who has just started back at Oxford University, has posted on her personal website “Hope you all like My Week with Marilyn”. The 21-year-old will be playing her own age after more than a decade of playing the much younger Hermione in the Harry Potter films. Oscar winner Dame Judi has a supporting role as author Dame Sybil Thornton. The film is based on the book by Colin Clark who worked as an assistant on the set of the Prince and the Showgirl and had a unique insight into the ‘real’ Monroe.

Newcomer Eddie Redmayne plays Clark, the lowly assistant director who soon loses interest in wardrobe girl Watson and becomes besotted with Marilyn Monroe. Critics are already raving about the film, which was warmly received at the Cannes Film Festival. Michelle Williams in particular has been praised for her faithful representation of Marilyn. The film is also expected to do well as an insight into the glamour of 1950s movies against the austere backdrop of the UK at the time.

From moment one, Emma Watson was Hermione Granger. "From the very first screen test, she was the one person everyone -- the studio, the producers -- agreed was Hermione. There really wasn't any discussion," says Chris Columbus, director of the first two "Harry Potter" films.

And for an actress who'd never appeared onscreen before, "She seemed to carry with her a sense of professionalism, almost as if she'd been doing it for several years," Columbus recalls. "She had a maturity about her that gave her an ease as an actress."

Now, eight films and several broken box office records later (the last film achieved a high-water $169 million opening weekend), Watson is leaving the world of "Harry Potter" and venturing into more grounded, greenscreen-less territory. And the Muggle world is more than happy to snatch her up.

In addition to a small part in "My Week With Marilyn," she just wrapped the lead in "The Perks of Being a Wallflower." The book adaptation, which co-stars Logan Lerman, takes place at a typical Pennsylvania high school -- a far cry from the Hogwarts set where Watson was tutored.

As the actress recently told the New York Times, she prepared for the role by emailing all her friends to ask about their time in high school. Her first prom took place on the set of the film.

But Columbus thinks she's more prepared than she might realize. "Over the last few films, she really had that level of adolescent complexity -- where a lot of your emotions are bubbling to the surface," he says. "That's going to be a wonderful transitional thing to carry over to 'Perks.' "

Like Dakota Fanning, Emma Watson is going to attempt (for the second time), going to college like a normal person while being an international, paparazzi-attracting glamour girl. Unlike Dakota (who hits the local gym with her giant, gleaming Chanel bag), the "Harry Potter" star is trying to blend in with her fellow Oxford students by dressing like a non-celeb.

Watson posted a picture of herself heading off to class on her website, in which she wears the kind of outfit we wore everyday when we were in college: jeans, boots, a plaid shirt and a fur-lined army jacket. And a headband. And a giant grin (that we did not wear everyday at college).Hopefully Emma can alleviate the stress from all that studying with some retail therapy -- if none of her 19 favorite designer labels have outposts near campus, maybe there's at least one good plaid store nearby?
