Emma Watson looks typically chic in a pink gingham dress as she enjoys lunch and a stroll during Cannes Film Festival


The actress, 35, who wore a pink gingham dress, appeared to brush off the recent drama surrounding JK Rowling's views on gender rights.

The author added: 'I often wonder whether the signatories of such letters have to quieten their consciences before publicly boosting a movement intent on removing women's and girls' rights, which bullies gay people who admit openly they don't want opposite sex partners, and campaigns for the continued sterilisation of vulnerable and troubled kids.
