Coppola, 42, watches the world of celebrity and glamour infiltrating the lives of her own daughters, Romy and Cosima, and does her best to protect them. What young girls value and emphasise makes her "prudish," she said, and on one occasion her daughter returned from a cookery class and told her they had done a "red carpet display."

Watson, who is best known as Hermione in the Harry Potter films, admits that to prepare for the role she watched a lot of TV including the reality show Keeping Up With The Kardashians. Paris Hilton, described as famous for just being famous, made a cameo in the film and allowed her expansive wardrobe to be used as part of the set. Despite her fears about the cult of celebrity, Coppola added: " (Paris) is more self-aware than you would expect... Paris was cool.
