OSCAR-winning actress Dame Emma Thompson has her bag checked by security while shopping.
The screen legend, 65, was left shocked at high end clothing store Maje in Hampstead, North London.
A shopping assistant is said to have tailed her at the store before asking to look in her bag at the exit.
She had a gold watch and large ring on as she held the bag open for inspection by a female guard.
Dame Emma, wearing a light grey hat and dark jumper, laughed it off but did not look happy as she left.
She was seen clutching a bag from the retailer earlier this week.
