Emma Watson is one stylist star — and she’s been casting a spell on fashion lovers everywhere since her breakthrough role in Harry Potter when she was just 11 years old.
The British actress’ fashion sense has matured right along with her career and made her a bonafide red carpet style star in the process. With a penchant for high-fashion looks by celeb-fave designers, it didn’t take long for the brunette beauty to become a best-dressed list fixture.
Rather than stick to glam gowns and frilly dresses, Watson has made a habit of rocking pants on red carpets around the globe. At the 2014 Golden Globes, for instance, she turned heads in hybrid Dior number that featured a backless red gown over a pair of cropped back trousers.
An advocate for sustainable fashion, Watson has made a habit of posting details about the environmental impact of her outfits on social media. In 2017, she created her Instagram account (@the_press_tour) to chronicle all of her fab fashion choices.
