When it comes to modern, ultra chic and sophisticated style, no one does it better then Emma Watson. She’s the ultimate girl next door – we’ve watched her grow up, transforming from an awkward teen on the red carpet to fronting luxury campaigns for the likes of Burberry and Lancôme.
Our Latest Style Crush: Emma Watson
Upon debuting her pixie crop in 2010 (Goodbye, Hermione!), the fashion world hailed this a masterstroke, whilst girls around the world instantaneously began chopping off their locks in order to achieve her look.
Her recent HeForShe speech, as part of her appointment as a UN Women Goodwill Ambassador, also proved that everlasting style and class ultimately comes down to upholding a level of dignity, intelligence and courage, which resonates long after trends have faded into fashion obscurity (although a Dior ensemble certainly doesn’t hurt).

Off duty, Watson’s style remains polished and poised, her inherent ease at capturing that ‘just stepped off the plane/out for coffee/ hailing a cab’ look is casual perfection every time (Seriously, does this girl EVER look bad?).
Wardrobe staples include tailored black pants with a collared shirt and an artfully nestled (in the crook of ones elbow, of course) designer bag; or skinny jeans, flats and trench with oversized scarf and/or sunglasses. It’s this ‘thrown together’ attitude that most between-the-runway models could only dream of attaining, yet Watson makes it an achievable look that we can all (hope) to interpret so well.

On the red carpet she is daring without being risqué and fashion-forward without being seen as trying too hard, making her a sartorial favourite amongst the fashion critics.
Favouring clean lines and simple cuts, Watson has the ability to pull off anything from a backless dress to a crop and pants. By keeping her accessories to a minimum, and makeup fresh, Watson allows the clothes themselves to make the impact, and when you’re at the Met Gala Ball in nothing but a slashed Prabal Gurung gown, you just know people are paying attention to your style choices.
Classic, staple pieces + enviable red carpet options + a ridiculous fashion knowledge = Emma Watson/You! Simple, huh?
