Having free reign over a topic can be a dangerous thing, as dangerous as magic. The magic I'm speaking about gets only as dangerous as Harry Potter actress, Emma Watson. Known to many as the adorable and geeky girl companion of Harry Potter, Hermoine Granger, in the Harry Potter movie series, she is less known for the fashion icon she is.
A favorite among my many fashion icons, I chose to highlight Emma in celebration of the upcoming release of the next installation of the Harry Potter movies (November 19) and her recent shoot for Vogue UK.
It seems as if Emma had left her Harry Potter days behind, as well as her hair. Yet, she can do no wrong looking older, sophisticated, and having a faint reminder of Twiggy. This is actually her second time in Vogue, the first time being a beautiful Fantasy themed spread where Emma began to first be seen as a future fashion face.
These shoots not only grabbed the attention of the whole world, including her intense Harry Potter fans, but of Burberry who then made her the face of their Spring/Summer 2010 campaign. It slowly but surely became my favorite.
In my opinion, Emma was the only actress from the Harry Potter franchise that was able to walk away without being limited to just being Hermoine Granger. She has built a reputation among the British and American girls of being fashion forward and someone you actually want to look up to; she is a student at Brown University majoring in English literature, a successful actress, and now an iconic fashion figure for many girls, both young and old.
What could be missing? Maybe your ticket to see the next Harry Potter movie.
