Emma Watson’s Fashion Transformation
1/22Emma Watson has been a perennial Teen Vogue favorite ever since the first Harry Potter film hit theaters. We’ve grown up with the brainy British starlet – and envied her super-stylish sartorial evolution every step of the way. Between modeling gigs for Burberry and Lancome and splitting her time between her studies at Brown and Oxford and filming hits like ‘The Bling Ring” and “Noah,” we have no doubt that there is no shortage of Emma in our future. Especially given the recent announcement that the 25-year-old will be playing Disney princess, Belle, in the live-action remake of “Beauty and the Beast.”
From nerdy sorceress to worldwide fashion icon - just last year, she won the coveted British Style Award – there’s no telling what look Emma will try next. But we sure can’t wait to see. Looking for some style inspiration this fall? Re-live Emma’s best looks here.
