Cabbie refuses Emma Watson a ride

She might be one of the most crucial characters in one of the largest film franchises and have the world wowing at her, but Emma Watson failed to impress the cab driver into hitching a ride up the road. Post the last Harry Potter film's premiere, the star decided to let her hair down and 

decided to spend some time shopping with her gal pals. The actress was spotted street-shopping, following which she spent some time on the road chatting to a taxi driver, trying to explain which direction she was travelling in, but he turned her down because he was off-duty, reported Daily Mail.

After weeks of dressing up and being in the spotlight, the actress possibly caught the cabbie unawares with her girl-next-door attire as she was dressed in a pair of skinny legs jeans, a baggy grey sweater and flats. She accessorised with a cream satchel, some fifties style shades and slicked her short brunette crop back with a headband. Quite a contrast to her dazzling red carpet gowns where she towers above her co-stars or the short stunning dresses that she dons on talk shows.

Well Emma, you may not have convinced the driver, but the paparazzi follows you nevertheless.
