Sweet and simple: Emma Watson steps out in a laidback summer outfit of a black T-shirt and floral skirt

She has recently admitted that she has a laidback attitude towards fashion.

And Emma Watson showed that she is true to her word when she stepped out wearing a cute but understated summer ensemble.

The 23-year-old wore a low-key black T-shirt paired with a short floral skirt while on a stroll with a friend in London on Friday.

She wore her auburn dyed hair loose around her shoulders and carried a black slouchy handbag.
Despite the summer heat, the porcelain-skinned actress seemed to have been careful not to overdo the sun. 

The Harry Potter star also kept her footwear comfortable, wearing a pair of flat, gladiator-style sandals. 

Laid-back: Emma opted for a simple but pretty outfit for a summer stroll

Emma recently revealed that she is so relaxed about her wardrobe that she owns just eight pairs of shoes.

She currently stars in the film Bling Ring, which is based on the true story of a gang of teenagers who steal £2million of luxury goods from the homes of celebrities in the Hollywood Hills.

'All my usual fashion views went out the window,’ she said recently of the role. ‘[I had] visible cleavage and very short skirts.'

She told Radio Times that she tries to avoid having an overly extravagant lifestyle.
‘There’s a whole new definition to celebrity now,’ she said. 

'And I think that’s why you see a lot of actors blanching at being associated with that word “celebrity” because it’s become something that isn’t really associated with having a craft...

  ‘But it’s easy for me to sound like a total hypocrite because, of course, I’m dressed in designer clothes right now.’
