Emma Watson takes a nasty tumble as she attends GQ's Men of the Year party at the Chateau Marmont in LA

Emma Watson suffered a nasty fall on Friday night while leaving the GQ Men of the Year Party in Los Angeles. 

The Harry Potter actress, 36 – who earlier skipped the red carpet – had joined a star-studded line-up including the likes of Cara Delevingne and Rumer Willis at the swanky annual bash, held at the Chateau Marmont.

She looked glamorous wearing a vintage patterned mini dress from the Valentino x Christi Belcourt 2016 Resort Collection, which sells on the secondary market for around £2,750, ($3,500).

But her night came to a painful end when she lost her footing on unsteady ground, which was no doubt not helped by her vertiginous black and white striped Jacquemus heels, which retail for £750.

Just as an onlooker called out that Emma was their 'favourite actress ever' she went crashing down - narrowly avoiding taking an autograph hunter down with her.

Onlookers then scrambled to help as Ms Watson leapt to her feet abruptly, seeming shaken for one moment before apologising and regaining her composure with a smile on her face. 

While she attempted to catch her breath, the actress was also mobbed by fans attempting to get selfies with her, with Ms Watson duly smiling before quickly making her way to her waiting car with DJ Tucker Halpern. 

Ms Watson was a special guest at the event, having previously been named as GQ's Woman of the Year in 2013.

This year's party honoured the Creative Director of Celine, Michael Rider, as Designer of the Year, along with Dune’s Denis Villeneuve, as Director of the Year.

It was hosted by GQ’s Global Editorial Director Adam Baidawi, who was joined by three leading men: Chris Rock, Andrew Garfield, and Matt Damon.

YouTube star Benito Skinner hosted the red carpet coverage for GQ's Instagram livestream.

Attending the event no doubt brought back positive memories for Ms Watson, 13 years after she received the female equivalent honour. 

At the time, the magazine noted she was being given the honour owing to breaking out of her child star fame with roles in character-study films such as My Week With Marilyn and The Perks Of Being A Wallflower.

She was also gearing up for the release of Darren Aronofsky's Noah, and filming for Guillermo del Toro's adaptation of Beauty And The Beast. 

Ms Watson said at the time she was honoured by the award but confessed her friends had been playfully teasing her over the accolade.  

For Friday's event, Ms Watson attended the event on her own, despite confirming earlier this year she is in a relationship with billionaire entrepreneur Gonzalo Hevia Bailleres. 

She was thought to be dating Kieran Brown last year but has found a new amour in the Mexican businessman, with the pair spotted passionately kissing at Mexico City airport. 

Mr Baillares' family owned a multi-billion-dollar mining company and his grandfather Alberto Hevia Baillères, who died in 2022, was one of the richest men ever to live in the country with an estimated net worth of $8.6billion.

A source told the Daily Mail of Ms Watson and Mr Baillares' romance: 'Widely regarded as one of Mexico's most eligible bachelors, Gonzalo now appears to be deeply smitten and reportedly taking his relationship with Emma seriously - having already introduced her to his parents.

​'Without a doubt, Gonzalo and Emma are shaping up to be one of 2026's most unexpected power couples.'

The actress left the party with Tucker Halpern, who is an American DJ, music producer, and singer best known as one half of the Grammy-nominated electronic pop duo Sofi Tukker 

Perhaps if Ms Watson's new billionaire entrepreneur boyfriend, Gonzalo Hevia Baillares, had been at the GQ Men of the Year awards he may have been able to keep Ms Watson upright

Perhaps if Mr Baillares had been at the awards he may have been able to keep Ms Watson upright, as seemed to be the case with actress Sofia Vergara and her rumoured love interest Douglas Chabbott.

The actress, 54, was first linked to businessman Mr Chabbott, 39, last year but she has not confirmed whether their relationship is romantic. 

Yet regardless of their relationship status, Ms Vergara was no doubt grateful to have Mr Chabbott by her side as he helped keep her steady while she teetered out of the party in her vertiginous heels. 

While she appeared a little unsteady on her feet, Ms Vergara still looked incredible as she showcased her hourglass curves in a bronze sequined co-ord with a plunging neckline. 

Meanwhile, Mr Chabbott kept things more casual in jeans and a blue blazer. 

Also seen leaving the event were Monica Barbaro and boyfriend Andrew Garfield.

Ms Barbaro looked sensational in a plunging gown with a black bodice and white skirt as she exited the venue hand in hand with her partner.

American singer Tinashe also caused a stir as she left, with fans rushing to grab a photograph with her, while Halle Bailey sweetly stopped to sign autographs.

Meanwhile, actress Rumer Willis wrapped up in a coat as she led a friend through the crowded route out.

Yet Patrick Schwarzenegger didn't appear to be feeling the cold, as he sported a black T-shirt that showed off his muscular arms. 

The likes of Travis Scott, Matt Damon and Jason Bateman were also all seen leaving the soiree.

Ms Watson's outing came after her father warned the parents of the new Harry, Ron and Hermione of the 'impact of fame on children' as filming for the HBO Harry Potter TV series begins.

The latest leading trio were finally announced after months of speculation – with Dominic McLaughlin landing the title role, while Arabella Stanton is set to play Hermione Granger and Alastair Stout will portray Ron Weasley.

Ms Watson played Hermione for ten years in the Harry Potter film series, and now her father Chris has told of how he worked hard to keep her 'grounded'.

He told Times Radio: 'As a parent, you have to be scared... This can be a very difficult thing for a parent and child to handle, or not.

'It certainly helped that I don’t actually watch movies, it’s not a big thing in the house, and so it was easier for us to keep her feet on the ground.'

He added: 'Normal life continued as far as possible: her homework would go back to school on motorbikes, admittedly, but she had to do her homework and check in.'

The TV show is set to drop on December 25 but has been marred by controversy due to creator JK Rowling's gender-critical views. 

Ms Rowling, who wrote the books on which the new HBO series is based, has denied that her views are transphobic, saying she respects ‘every trans person’s rights to live any way that feels authentic and comfortable to them’.
