Emma Watson chose to bring a special date with her to Milan Fashion Week.

The Harry Potter star, 33, was spotted on the streets of Milan this week as she – along with plenty of other celebs – descended on Italy for the exclusive annual event.

Emma looked as effortlessly chic as ever, snapped entering a hotel in an outfit that mixed cosy with glam – but it was her date that got people talking.

The Circle actress chose to bring her pet dog Sofia along for the ride, with the loyal dog seen following her every move as they meandered among the luxury cars, shops and hotels in the city.

Emma didn’t even appear to worry about Sophie getting lost or wandering off, as the sweet pup had no collar or lead, instead traipsing along behind her owner with Emma just giving a tap on her thigh for encouragement.

While Emma looked gorgeous in a white shirt, short black skirt with gold buttons, an oversized white cardigan draped across her shoulders, a small white bag and white kitten heels, puppy Sophie stole the show.

The medium-sized multi-coloured pup matched Emma with its white paws – and more than a few photographers present trained their lens on the sweet cross-breed.

Emma first introduced fans to Sofia in a lengthy Instagram post last year where she gave an update on her life, from learning to surf, going to therapy and ‘adopting Sofia in Mexico, who seems to be an angel not a dog.’

The cute outing comes after Emma recently invited her brother Alex along to a red carpet event with her, with snaps of the pair showing off the love the siblings have for each other.

Earlier this year, the Little Women actor opened up on the close relationship she has with her brother, who also appeared in the Harry Potter films as an unnamed Hufflepuff student.

In an Instagram post reflecting on her life celebrating her 33rd birthday, Emma credited Alex with helping her ‘find the most challenging things, with time, incredibly funny.’
