She first appeared on the big screen at the tender age of 11 when she was cast to play the role of Hermione Granger in Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone.

And twelve years on from her acting debut Emma Watson is proving that she knows a thing or two about retaining her youthful looks (unlike many other child stars).

Seen arriving at JFK airport in Queens, New York City on Wednesday, the 22-year-old showed off her flawless complexion as she journeyed through the terminal.

Wearing only a light coating of mascara, Emma looked fresh faced as she headed towards the exit.

Dressed in clothes taken from the comfort section of her wardrobe, Watson ditched her heels for a pair of white laced pumps.

Wrapping a large pale grey scarf around her neck, the actress donned a knitted jumper with black slim fitted jeans.

Accessorising with a khaki bag, Emma completed her look with blacked out shades as she wore her short brunette hair back in a bun.

Opting for a minimalistic ensemble, Emma wore a pair of drop earrings and a ring on her left hand.
