Emma Watson, who plays Hermione in the Harry Potter films, wore an 80-year-old antique dress at the Goblet of Fire premiere.

Watson's dress, which she bought from a Notting Hill antique shop, was worn before by 1920s movie legend Anna May Wong.

The owner of the shop said the daughter of Wong's maid, who had recently died, brought her the dress.

Wong also started her career early, acting in The Red Lantern in 1919 when she was 13. A prolific career as the first Asian actress to make it in Hollywood then began.
