Emma Watson becomes more experimental with make up

By Andrea Petrou on October 26th, 2011

Emma Watson has become more “experimental” with make-up since cutting her hair.

The ‘Harry Potter actress chopped off her long locks last year and says it has made her become more bolder with her cosmetics choices as her face is now every exposed.

She told Stylelist: “I’m more experimental make-up. There’s no way to hide when you have short hair. You really have to go for it.”

Emma, 21, also says once she finds a product that suits her, she will stick with it.

She said: “I’m a creature of habit. I like to find what works and keep buying it. I like a bronzer or blush because I am so pale and English.”

Emma – who is the face of Lancome – also says she likes to highlight her eyes by wearing Lancome’s Hypnose Doll mascara.

She explained: “I’m big into Twiggy so I do bottom lashes and top lashes. This is really cool because it is specifically designed to get that look.”

Emma recently revealed she worries about her looks but is determined not to conform to Hollywood’s ideal appearance.

She said: “I do worry about the expectation to look a certain way. I find LA quite scary because of that – all those young people having plastic surgery. But the thing is, I don’t want to look like everyone else.

“I don’t have perfect teeth, I’m not stick thin. I want to be the person who feels great in her body and can say that she loves it and doesn’t want to change anything.”

Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows: Part Two. Emma Watson wears Oscar de la Renta. Pictures.

By shinychris on July 8th, 2011

Emma Watson looked beautiful last night at the world premiere of the final Harry Potter films, Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows: Part Two, in London’s Trafalgar Square.

Wearing an Oscar de La Renta dress with a grey bodice and a tiered tulle skirt, she got a little teary-eyed on the red carpet (thankfully her skirt has lots of room for a few packets of Kleenex).

Meanwhile, author JK Rowling chose a strapless rose-patterned gown from Oscar de la Renta‘s spring 2011 collection, which she accessorized with a matching pink rose pin, pink earrings, and a pink clutch.

Thousands of fans arrived in London’s West End as early as Monday evening for the last night screening, many of them dressed as characters from the films with others waving placards reading ‘Potter ’till I die’.

Emma Watson, who plays Hermione Granger in the movies, said she felt Daniel Radcliffe and Rupert Grint were ‘like my brothers’ and said they were ‘scheming’ to work together again.

Emma Watson cried uncontrollably when finished filming the last Harry Potter film

By Andrea Petrou on July 5th, 2011

Emma Watson “cried” uncontrollably when finished filming the last ‘Harry Potter’ film.

The actress – who was just 10 when she first played Hermione Granger in the wizard franchise – couldn’t control her emotions when she had to hang up her Hogwarts outfit for the last time when shooting on ‘Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 2′ wrapped.

Speaking on UK TV show ‘Daybreak’, she said: “It was so strange … I kind of felt quite numb, I couldn’t really – it doesn’t seem like your feeling anything. And it was when they said, ‘That’s Emma down and Rupert wrapped,’ on ‘Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows’, and it just hit me and it was incredibly emotional obviously.

“I cried, cried, cried, cried, cried – it was really emotional and overwhelming.”

Although she is sad the ‘Harry Potter’ movies have come to an end, Emma, now 21, is looking forward to taking on new roles – as long as they don’t require so many years of her life.

She said: “I mean it’s so funny, when I’ve signed on for other projects, other things, people don’t really understand why I get quite jumpy and quite concerned and I think it’s because I’ve signed on for one thing and it turns into a 12-year project. And I realise that everything else won’t be like that, but I just can’t believe what it turned into.”

Emma – who starred in the movies alongside Daniel Radcliffe and Rupert Grint – will always be proud to have portrayed witch Hermione and isn’t worried about being typecast in the future.

She said: “If I’m going to be associated with anything, I’m so thrilled that it would be her and it would be this.”

Emma Watson found it “completely different” to do her own make-up and choose her own clothes when she posed for a series of paintings.

By Andrea Petrou on June 29th, 2011

Emma Watson found it “completely different” to do her own make-up and choose her own clothes when she posed for a series of paintings.

The ‘Harry Potter’ actress worked with artist Mark Demsteader on the new exhibition which will benefit the African charity CAMFED and Emma admitted being on such a low-key set where didn’t have a team of stylists and make-up professionals was a strange experience.

She told vogue.co.uk: “As it takes Mark several months to create the pieces, he finds it easier to work from photographs so I met him and a photographer for a day’s photo shoot in north London back in January. It was a really simple shoot with just a single light to cast shadows. We took lots of pictures in a variety of poses and Mark went away and selected 30 or so to turn into paintings.

“Whilst I didn’t sit for Mark as such, it was a completely different photo shoot to anything I’ve ever done before. It was really low-key – I did my own makeup and just brought a selection of very simple dresses for the silhouette. Mark did the lighting.” Although Emma is thrilled with the results, she was initially hesitant about taking part.

She explained: “I haven’t really bought any art yet, even though I love it. So I contacted Mark about buying a drawing as a present to myself for my 21st birthday. When I emailed him he asked if I would let him paint me, and that was how the exhibition came about. I was slightly hesitant at first, not because I didn’t want to work with Mark, but simply because I wasn’t sure if I was comfortable with an entire exhibition of pictures of me!”

Emma Watson dating Wallflower co-star

By Andrea Petrou on June 16th, 2011

Emma Watson is reportedly dating her ‘The Perks of Being a Wallflower’ co-star Johnny Simmon.

The 21-year-old actress – who shot to fame playing Hermione Granger in the ‘Harry Potter’ films – is said to have fallen for the 24-year-old actor on the set of the drama movie, which is being shot in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and the pair are already very close.

A source said told HollywoodLife.com: “Emma and Johnny met shooting ‘The Perks of Being a Wallflower’ and have gotten serious fast. She loves how down to earth and normal he is and thinks he’s the nicest guy. He feels the same way about her. She doesn’t act like she’s one of the biggest stars in the world.”

Although the relationship is still in its early stages, the pair are said to have become virtually inseparable

A second source said: “They have really fallen for one another and both aren’t dating anyone else. She once said she’d never move to LA, but I think she’s reconsidering … especially because Johnny lives in Los Angeles.”

Emma previously dated financier Jay Barrymore but their two-year relationship ended in March 2010 after two years.

Emma Watson finds dressing age-appropriately is “quite difficult”

By Andrea Petrou on May 13th, 2011

Emma Watson finds dressing age-appropriately is “quite difficult”.

The 21-year-old actress – who recently topped Glamour UK magazine’s Best-Dressed Women 2011 list – admits it’s hard to get the right look at red carpet events although she prefers a “less is more” approach.

Emma told WWD: “I try to dress age-appropriately, which isn’t actually that easy when obviously high-end clothing is designed for women who are older than I am.

“It’s a fine line to tread between looking smart and looking ready to go on a red carpet but also looking like I’m 21. It’s quite difficult.

“I think less is more – less makeup, less accessories is better.”

Emma – who is the face of Lancome – recently helped chose the colour of the brand’s Tresor Midnight Rose women’s fragrance, which is due out worldwide in September.

She has also been heavily involved in the advertising campaign – which was shot by Mario Testino – which impressed her bosses.

She added: “It’s funny, the guys at Lancome were like, ‘You need to be directing, Emma.’ I had ideas about every aspect. I’m sure I drove them insane.

“I was involved in the concept for the [ad] film and the tag line, ‘Catch my heart if you can.’ ”

“The hat [in the ad] was my hat, which I bought at a flea market in Paris. I was very involved in the script. It’s been really fun for me.”

Emma Watson’s new fashion range for Alberta Ferretti inspired by Jane Birkin.

By Andrea Petrou on March 7th, 2011

Emma Watson’s new fashion range for Alberta Ferretti was inspired by Jane Birkin.

The ‘Harry Potter’ actress – who recently released her third and final set of designs for ethical clothing brand People Tree – has worked with the designer on a “green” capsule collection and Alberta revealed 64-year-old actress-and-singer Jane was influential when Emma was working on the eco-friendly designs.

She said: “Emma had a Jane-Birkin-in-the-70s image in mind.”

Alberta also revealed she has admired Emma for some time and is impressed with her dedication to green issues.

She told WWD: “I’m grateful Emma accepted this creative partnership that can contribute to fashion and to the health of the planet.

“She’s an actress I’ve followed since her early days. I like her freshness, her spontaneity and simplicity. She is intelligent, with a strong personality, a young, modern girl of today but aware of social issues at the same time and very rigorous. This is a moment that demands strong attention to these issues and we can help in communicating them.”

Emma – who has worked on five pieces including two dresses, a shirt, a long skirt and a pair of denim shorts for her line called Pure Threads – spoke about her devotion to the ethical clothing cause and said she is delighted that Alberta has gotten involved.

She said: “I’m pleased that a luxury brand such as Alberta Ferretti has decided to create ecological clothes. I believe this is a big step forward for all of the international fashion industry, but also an important step for an increased sensitivity to the problem of ecology.

Gossip

Emma Watson had to “grit her teeth” for Harry Potter kissing scenes

By Andrea Petrou on October 22nd, 2010

With the first part of the last installment of the Harry Potter films hitting cinemas next month, it was obvious that we’d be getting some behind the scenes gossip.

However, one piece of goss we weren’t expecting to hear is that Emma Watson wasn’t comfortable about her kissing scenes with the two leading lads.

She said the steamy Deathly Hallows kissing scenes, made her ‘grit her teeth’.

The kissing scenes, which also follow onto the second film, due out in July caused Ms Watson some trouble as the trio are so close. ‘Getting into character to kiss Dan and Rupert was tough,’ she told SFX magazine.

‘Forgetting all of our history, and our relationship.

‘Putting all that aside and being in character was pretty bloody hard, it really was. That required a huge amount of professionalism.

‘I really had to grit my teeth and be like, ‘I am Hermione, this is Harry – stop thinking that it’s Emma kissing Dan. It’s not. It’s all good.’

We’re sure many of you ladies out there wouldn’t have had the same problem as Emma….

Emma Watson to show off her People Tree SS2011 range at Royal Show

By admin on August 19th, 2010

Does Emma Watson ever stop working? Not only has she been endlessly promoting the next installment of Harry Potter, whipped up a beauty storm with her new cropped hairstyle and auditioned for the part of the Girl With the Dragon Tattoo but she’s also now pushing her range of ethnic clothing for People Tree.

The line is set to make its catwalk debut next month but instead of going down the London Fashion Week catwalk, Emma has decided to show off her SS2011 range at The Prince of Wales’ A Garden Party To Make A Difference.

The eco festival held in Prince Charles’ private gardens will play host to Watson’s ethical range on September 12. However, Emma’s busy schedule means she won’t be able to attend.

“I’m so thrilled that People Tree will be showing the spring/summer collection at A Garden Party To Make A Difference. I think The Prince of Wales’ initiative is such a brilliant idea and I’m thrilled,” she said.

We can’t wait to see the new togs Emma.

Emma Watson shows off her new crop at the Harry Potter countdown

By admin on August 12th, 2010

Her hairstyle has been one of the most talked about topics this week and last night Emma Watson decided to show it off a little bit more.

The starlet stepped onto the red carpet to promote the 100 day countdown for the first part of Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows, which hits cinemas in November.

And of course, she also took the opportunity to show off her noted fashion sense, opting for an on-trend lace playsuit, which of course she pulled off perfectly.

The star who has been replaced by Rosie Huntington-Whitely as the face of Burberry is rumoured to have cut her hair in a bid to win the lead part in the upcoming film Girl with The Dragon Tattoo.

Emma Watson’s Harry Potter and red carpet style to celebrate the trailer of the Deathly Hallows

By Andrea Petrou on June 29th, 2010

It’s a fight between Twilight and Harry Potter as the first trailer of Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows was released today. And the media has gone crazy. Some have described it as unsuitable for children given the dark content (although those who read the books will know they get darker and that the films reflect this).

And another thing that’s changed as the films have gone on is of course Emma Watson who plays Hermione Granger. The actress has come a long way from her bushy haired days in the first two films and her off screen red carpet style, turning into a style starlet who is a favourite with Chanel and of course Burberry, which she has modelled for.

We take a look at her looks right from Harry Potter and The Chamber of Secrets right through to sneak previews of the upcoming Deathly Hallows Film. And look out later on this week for an Emma Watson Get the Look Gallery.
