Emma is new face of Chanel
|
As she presumably only got paid in sweeties for the Harry Potter films, there's some good news for Emma Watson: she's landed a two-year contract as the new face of Chanel's Coco Mademoiselle fragrance.
The 18-year-old actress will reportedly earn a whopping £3m for her troubles. She takes over from fellow thespian Keira Knightley, who, at the age of 23, is clearly getting on a bit.
"Emma has been excitedly telling friends that she is going to be taking over from Keira," said a source. "She's been slowly integrated into the Chanel brand. They have been dressing her for film premieres and parties over recent months to see if she is the right fit.
"Once it became clear she is growing into a beautiful young woman and wears the Chanel brand so elegantly, they had to sign her up. Chanel realises it is important to target a young audience."
And what of Keira? It's rumoured the Pirates of the Caribbean star will model for a new campaign – so she won't be heading to the old people's home just yet.
