So that explains the break from Brown.
Following the news that she was taking time off from her studies to focus on work, Emma Watson tweeted her latest professional assignment this weekend: "It starts with an L and ends with an E. I'm sure you have guessed the new face of Lancme is me! :-)"
Or in corporate speak...
"Thanks to her charm, romanticism and her incredible modernity, Emma Watson has become the icon of her generation. We are delighted by this new collaboration with Emma who brings a fresh spirit to Lancme," said company president Youcef Nabi in a statement today.
At the tender age of 20, the Harry Potter star is Lancme's youngest pitch person, joining global beauties such as Julia Roberts, Kate Winslet, Penlope Cruz and Anne Hathaway.
The gig is just the latest in a string of jobs keeping the actress and fashionista very busy. Watson is working on the last Harry Potter movie (hitting movie screens this summer), recently unveiled a collection for ethical clothing chain People Tree and will collaborate with designer Alberta Ferretti to produce an organic clothing line.
If only she could receive school credit for all the extracurricular work she's doing.
