LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Actress Emma Watson had an unexpected moment during a rare night out in Los Angeles when she took a hard fall outside the Chateau Marmont.

A video of the incident showed the 'Harry Potter' actress losing her balance near the venue's entrance and falling to the ground. She quickly got back on her feet, smiled after the fall and continued walking inside to join the party.

Watson quickly got back on her feet and appeared to laugh off the moment. She then made her way into the party alongside a blond-haired man dressed in a black, collarless jacket. His identity was not known.

For the evening, Watson wore a sleeveless black velvet Mugler minidress with a fitted bodice. She paired it with a colorful vintage Valentino jacket decorated with floral details from the designer's 2016 Resort collection.

Her accessories included black-and-white striped Jacquemus heels, gold hoop earrings and a chain necklace with a large heart pendant. She also carried a black crossbody bag.

The event took place at the Chateau Marmont in Los Angeles and was hosted by Matt Damon, Andrew Garfield and Chris Rock. Other attendees included Cara Delevingne, Tinashe, Jimmy Kimmel, Ayo Edebiri, Don Cheadle, Jason Bateman and Tracee Ellis Ross.

Watson has largely stayed away from the public eye in recent years, making her appearance at the gathering a notable outing. She was also spotted at the Chateau Marmont's Academy Museum Gala after-party in October, although she skipped the main event.
