Sophisticated Emma among guests at exclusive Chanel dinnerSEND TO A FRIEND 06 December 2007 Not many A-levels students receive an invite to an ultra exclusive dinner hosted by fashion maestro Karl Lagerfeld, but then again Emma Watson isn't your average schoolgirl. The 17-year-old actress, who recently appeared at number 15 in Forbes magazine's list of top earning celebs under 25 - along with the list’s lone Canadian, Avril Lavigne, who was ranked eighth - has become something of a Chanel ambassador of late, wearing the French house's luxurious clothes to all her red carpet events.

And Wednesday night's bash was no exception, as Emma arrived at London’s Nobu restaurant in a shimmering sequinned jacket bearing the legendary brand's double C logo. Clearly confident about her style – she recently revealed she never uses a stylist to help her with her wardrobe choices – the Harry Potter star completed her highly groomed look with a generous sweep of ruby-red lipstick.

The young film star, who is due to hit small screens over Christmas as the lead in TV production Ballet Shoes, rubbed shoulders with a host of glamorous names from the world of showbiz and fashion during the private dinner. Her fellow guests included Sean Lennon, models Kate Moss and Irina Lazareanu – both former fiancées of Pete Doherty – and pop princesses Kylie Minogue and Natalie Imbruglia.

Chanel director Karl was hosting the private dinner for his close friends ahead of Thursday's highly anticipated Paris-Londres show which will be the first time the label has ever held a fashion show in London.
