She may be taking time out of her degree studies to focus on her acting career, but Emma Watson still looks like a student.

Pictured with her boyfriend Will Adamowicz in New York yesterday, the high-profile couple looked like a pair of students.

In contrast to her tight, glam mini dress that she wore on Jimmy Fallon's chat show on Friday, Emma was dressed down in jeans and a leather jacket.

With her hair left loose and natural and a pair of large dark sunglasses, the English actress was barely recognisable.

No doubt the couple, who have been dating since the end of last year, were enjoying spending time together during a gap in her busy work schedule.

Emma is currently promoting her new film The Perks Of Being A Wallflower.

The coming-of-age story is based on the 1999 novel of the same name by Stephen Chbosky, which provoked some controversy with its handling of drugs, homosexuality and teen culture.

The story follows Charlie (Logan Lerman), a misfit teenager who arrives at a new High School without friends, any idea how to make them.

He is taken under the wing of senior student, free-spirited Sam (Emma) and her stepbrot! her Patrick (Ezra Miller).

Charlie is bewitched by Sam, and she becomes his main love interest, for much of the story an idealised dream figure for the awkward teen.

Talking about the movie recently, Emma said she is hoping it allows her fans to see a different side to her, rather than her Harry Potter alter-ego Hermione Granger.

She said: 'I hope what Harry Potter fans can see is that I am able to transform, that there are other sides of me that perhaps they haven't seen yet, and that they might allow me a little bit of room.

'Just doing American really is different. People have said to me that they keep forgetting it's me when they see the movie, which for me is more than enough. That's a success in itself for me, really.'
