Little Emma Watson (Aka. Hermione Granger) from the ever popular Harry Potter dynasty is “all growed up” as they say, and she’s making a shift from Harry’s muse to fashion diva.

Now that she’s of legal age, I feel fine admitting that I hypothesized early on that Emma was going to be absolutely beautiful when she grew up.  I was right.  With her 6th feature film hitting theaters today, this little Muggle has amassed enough wealth off the first 5 Harry Potter movies to dress herself in pretty much anything she sets her eyes on.  Smart lady, she’s taking full advantage of that – diving head first into the fashion world and glad-handing designers and stylists where she can.  Emma recently sat down with WWD to talk about her new passion, and how she may or may not participate in the industry herself.  Her response was actually refreshing to my penguin ears… when asked if she’d be joining the likes of celebrity “designers” like Lauren Conrad or Jessica Simpson she responded, “I’m really not interested in doing it for my own ego. I’m not a designer,” and when pressed she said “[It’s] gotten so ridiculous…. The idea of making my own perfume makes me want to vomit.” Here is one girl who gets it.  She’s fallen in love with fashion.  She’s wearing it well and making great choices – but she realizes that does not a designer make.

In the pic above, Emma is wearing a vintage Ossie Clark gown with a deep neckline that extends all the way down to the high wrap band waistline.  The silver-purple color and textured fabric is great against her ivory skin, and the dress fits her perfectly.  Notice how the capped sleeves hug her shoulders and the sleeve length is just right, ending just at the elbow.  She looks amazing.

Now that I’ve built her up and complimented her choices and perspective, I feel the need to show you a slight misstep.  Sorry Hermione.  This choice [photo to right] just doesn’t suit her.  The color and shiny texture of the fabric washes out her fair skin complexion, and the cut is not flattering on her figure at all.  Emma is not a busty girl, and the halter top style dress with an otherwise strapless neckline really flattens her out.  The length of the dress feels awkward to me, and its bunched skirt looks like it has a tendency to ride up at the hips.  However, I do like the contrast black belting and strapped shoes.

For the most part, Emma does it right and has a great take on fashion.  She was recently named as the Fall ’09 face of Burberry.  This will be Emma’s first major campaign, and I’d have to say it’s not a bad start to her modeling career.
