About the pressure to be thin (2009):"I've never felt the need to be thin; always being very thin isn't pretty. I'm never on a diet. I love cooking and eat. I make excellent raspberry tarts and amaretti (almond pastries)."

Christmas Lights at Somerset House, Christmas Project // 19 November 2008

Emma turned on the Christmas lights at a VIP opening of the Somerset House Ice Rink in London today. From the Press Association:

Watson turned on the lights on the Tiffany Christmas tree decorated with huge blue ice skates. She said she was “absolutely delighted” to be officially performing the switch-on.

Wearing a red scarf and a black coat, she added: “I’ve been coming here since I was about 13 and I absolutely love it. It’s Christmassy and wonderful.”

Update: We have pictures! Thanks to the source.

 
 

Wonderful new pictures to get you into the Christmas spirit!

And speaking of Christmas, we have decided to do a Christmas project again. We know it’s late. It’s been a very busy autumn for all of us, and we just haven’t had time. We couldn’t just do nothing though, so we are doing a smaller project this year. The theme will be Christmas and New Year’s traditions. Here’s your chance to tell Emma some of the things you do that make the holidays special to you. You can also send in holiday messages to Emma. The traditions and messages will be printed and sent to her. Christmas is coming fast, so the deadline is December 1. At the link below you can read more information and how to participate.

    Oh, wow! I just looked at the new pics on Ohmywatson, and she looks wonderful! Yes, it IS a new look; all of a sudden, she really looks grown up, and very sophisticated. Love it. 🙂

  9. Caroline says:

    Yes, I just saw them too. The dark hair color, in combination with the eye shadow, really do create a slightly new look. Very impressive!

  10. bigbookwormfantasylover says:

  11. sarah says:

    I'm not sure if i like the darkness around her eyes… or maybe it's just b/c i'm not used to it yet…

  12. kenne says:

    im with you sarah. unsure. You also notice, she hardly smiles with her teeth…

  13. AshleyLovesEmma says:

    I Love it she looks so cute! and so winterish!! i luuuuv it omg i cant get over it! i wish i could dress liek her! shhh! so cute!

  18. Monarch says:

    Once again she reminded me Avril Lavigne (there're was another time when she whore some bracelet). Well nice look, for first time I was thought what she did it to pass unnoticed, but she didn't erase it on event, so maybe so maybe not… Hope she won't be as much on rocker style, coz it's not best thing to do for her I guess (although, who knows? Maybe she is such a good rocker…). I lllllllove her pics with children and on fads – she is such a good mother (actually she's pretty good sister right now I guess, but I think she won't treat worse to her own children 😉 ) 🙂 and fads really suits her 🙂

  19. Monarch says:

    Oh, and verrrry BIG thank you guys for Christmas project 🙂 It's pretty cool, thank you 😉 I've already sent one message 🙂 Can't believe it – New Year coming soon, OH MY WATSON!!! 🙂

  20. sarah says:

    Wow Emma looks stunning! She looks way more older, though! 🙂

  21. KS987 says:

    Here are some more pictures http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-1087225/Emma-Watson-slides-Christmas-spirit-getting- skates-on.html I love Emma in these pics. She looks downright gorgeous and adorable in the pics, especially with the kids. I like the first two pics posted in the article as she is breathtaking in them. Nice to see that she had fun with her family. 🙂

  22. dannl says:

    love Emma not crazy about the make up

  23. EmmaRocksSocks says:

    Delightful.

  24. Destiniex says:

    Thank the gods that she got rid of that god awful blonde hair, much prefer her when its more brown. I'm actually quite taken with her make-up, it kind of suits her outfit (btw, I love her scarf) Yeah I've noticed that she hardly ever smiles with her teeth (when you smile with your teeth its more of a genuine smile than just with your cheeks.)

  25. Sanea says:

    Cool Christmas is coming soon and we must to be prepared for this Christmas 😛 😆

  26. cemal says:

    WOW! She is like my sister 🙂

  27. dodo says:

    she looks very old 🙁

  28. unknown says:

    shes sooooooooooooo hot as usual!!!!

  29. NiNa says:

    she look gorgeous!!!!!!! btw i think she changed her hair colour!^^

  30. Ola says:

    "marry christmas everyone.." I love christmas time ;] Emma does't good look like, but I like look new Em's pic 😀 Kisses ;*

  31. Lily says:

    Yeyy pics 🙂 christmas!!! Well she looks great, mabye a bit to much makeup on the eyes, but still cute 😉

  32. emma says:

    i think the little blonde girl she's with is her step sister x

  33. Nimy says:

    She looks too dark with that eye shadow… she changed her hair color, more brunett is good for the winter.. The shoes!! I have those shoes too 😆 😆 😆 it's good to share the fashion with her, I mean we like the same kind of shoes 😛

  34. Jessica says:

    One of the reasons she doesn's smile with her teeth is the red lipstick. That can get onto your teeth very easily, and it looks bad if you smile and there is lipstick on your teeth. She had one photo like that at the polo game recently, and it didn't look good.

  35. Elena says:

    Definitely, black eye shadow don't suits her… 😕

  36. p. says:

    I agree about the eye shadow, it makes her look weird. Actually this make-up is not her best (see that cheek blush?), but the outfit is gorgeous as usual!

  37. KS987 says:

    I found this picture while searching. http://www.graziadaily.co.uk/fashion/archive/2008/11/19/christmas-starts-early-for-the-fash-pack.htm ?slideshow=true&slideImage=0 XD at the look on Emma's face. She is so cute.

  38. Harriet says:

    Love the pictures. Emma looks very sophisticated, but if i may be ever so slightly critical a bit too thin : 😕 Who are the two little girls in one of the pics. Are they her sisters who played the younger version of her in Ballet Shoes or are they just REALLY young Harry Potter fans?! lol 🙂

  39. Sarah says:

    The blonde little girl is her sister.

  40. lilly says:

    she look so beautiful!!! 😆 😆 😆

  41. Marcus says:

    She is so beautiful. Truely stunning.

  42. muggle_born says:

    The picture of Emma and her little sister is soooooooooo CUTE! 😛 😛 😛

  43. KS987 says:

    I am later than usual with this, but Emma's official site posted pics of the event. http://www.emmawatsonofficial.com/#news/previews/1

  44. Joe says:

    she looks like a raccoon

  45. Jaana says:

    Nawwww, adorable pics! ^______^ I actually quite like this new look! 🙂 It's darker and more dramatic than her usual look, but it's a nice change, I think! 🙂 She looks like she had loads of fun, which is always good! ^^
