The actress copied Angelina Jolie's BAFTAs look - but put her own stylish spin on the trouser suit

Emma Watson has proven that Angelina Jolie isn't the only actress who can rock a classic trouser suit.

The 23-year-old British actress has been on a style roll lately, as she promotes her upcoming film Noah. And she hit another fashion high note in New York City on Tuesday.

Dressed in a black Saint Laurent suit with slim cropped trousers, Emma looked sophisticated and sexy. But we couldn't help but think immediately of the strikingly similar Saint Laurent tuxedo that Angie wore to the BAFTAs last month.

With its satin side stripe and undone bowtie, Angie's look was a bit more dressed-up than Emma's - which make sense, considering she wore it for a formal awards show. But the rolled up sleeves and unbuttoned shirt definitely added a sexy, laid-back feel.

Meanwhile, Emma kept her look completely buttoned-up and pulled it all together with a sleek updo.

But the actresses paired their suits with almost identical black shoes. Guess you just can't beat a patent, pointy-toed heel.
