Emma Watson in red-pink Valentino in London: the best shes ever looked?

We haven’t heard or seen much of Emma Watson since she began “studying abroad” at Oxford University last fall. After much consternation and name-calling (on my part), I was so happy to see her go back to school and avoid the pitfalls of becoming a child-star-turned-party-girl (see: Lindsay Lohan). I was also happy to Emma go back to school because it’s given me a chance to miss her. These are our first photos of Emma since the UK premiere of My Week With Marilyn last November, and at that point, Emma had already “disappeared” for several months too. This is smart – only make one appearance every few months. Let people miss you. Let your red carpet appearances become an “event”. This is the path that Emma Roberts should be following – but she isn’t.

Anyway, Emma was the hostess of a Lancome-sponsored pre-BAFTA event in England yesterday. Emma is one of the faces of Lancome, a decision I wasn’t happy with, but whatever. This is maybe the best Emma has ever looked, right? I’m not imagining things? This red-pink Valentino dress is perfect – sexy, young, girly, feminine and not saccharine. There’s a peek-a-boo effect with the lace that adds an interesting dimension, and I’m pretty sure I’m seeing the shadow of a nipple. Is that trashy? Or does it add some mystique? I kind of like it – it’s not overt, like she’s falling out of her dress or something. She just needs some nip-tape. Overall, I think this dress and Emma are a perfect fit together – small-busted girls get to wear all of the CUTE stuff, damn it.

I also love that her lipstick doesn’t perfectly match the dress too – it complements the dress, but it’s not too matchy-matchy. And how great is it that she’s growing out her Bieber hair?
