From witch to woman

Emma Watson walked into all of our hearts when Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone first premiered in 2001. Since then we all have been mesmerized by her overwhelming poise, grace and elegance. I always liked her until she cut her long locks into a pixie cut:then I loved her! Now its 2011 and the Harry Potter movie franchise has finally come to an end. Yet I strongly believe this is not the end for Emma Watson who not only is a great actress but is a fashion genius. Here I wish to take a look at her London and New York premiere dresses.

 This Oscar de la Renta dress is utterly flawless that was worn to the London premiere. She has skipped the princess stage and looks like a queen. I love the sheer top and the tulle ball gown bottom is magical. And the hair!! Although its grown out a bit, I love the wispy strands by her ears. Its pulls the whole thing together. It does almost cross the line into maybe bridal/prom, but I think she carries it well.

This  dress is by Bottega Venta Fall 2011. When I first saw this I didn’t know what to think and I am still a bit confused. I love the structured top with a recycled, eco-friendly look. The bottom is…okay. I like the color contrast but it looks like the top was put with the wrong bottom. Like it could be ripped off later and reveal another bottom. Once again I love the hair and the makeup and despite its lack of a ‘bang’, I think she left her mark.

 Lastly I thought I would just show the large contrast between Emma then and now. From feathered boa to ball gown! I wish all of us could make such a transformation!
