Growing Up on Screen, Then Into Fashion

Watson is a case study in a child star converting screen fame into a fashion career deliberately. Cast at nine with only school plays behind her, she played Hermione Granger across all eight Harry Potter films, earning several awards and more than £10 million from the series — and while it was still running, she made her modelling debut in Burberry's autumn/winter 2009 campaign. A heritage British label choosing the face of a British film phenomenon is a considered piece of casting, and it marked the point where Watson's premieres and campaigns began to be covered as fashion stories in their own right, separate from the films.

Work Beyond Hogwarts

The non-Potter credits trace the widening range: voice work in The Tale of Despereaux (2008), which grossed more than US $86 million, the Ballet Shoes television adaptation watched by 5.2 million viewers on 26 December 2007, and the lead ensemble role in The Perks of Being a Wallflower (2012). This page gathers Emma Watson fashion, style and glam coverage. She sits in the E group of the female directories with Ellen Page, Ellen Pompeo, Eva Longoria, Eva Mendes and Evangeline Lilly — several of them, like Watson, famous first for one defining screen role.
