About her first dinner party (2009):"Well, it was a disaster. Not because I'm a terrible cook, but because the time limit was too short. I was only able to make half the pie-a cottage pie, which is this very British beef mince meal-so I had to abandon it."

Emma Receives “Style Icon” Award at ELLE Style Awards


Emma Watson received the top award of “Style Icon” at this years ELLE Style Awards this evening. Emma said she was overwhelmed to be called a “style icon” and tried not to focus on having her style emulated by young girls. She said: “It feels amazing. Fashion is something that I love. I try not to think about it too much. I try and block all that off and I just do what I love and just have fun with it. I’ve definitely been feeling the pressure a bit more recently but it’s just fun for me.”

Elle editor Lorraine Candy praised Watson for her individuality, saying: ‘She’s got a very distinct individual look. We always say at Elle, “It’s not what you wear, it’s the way you wear it”, and she’s got such spirit, Emma. I think that makes her stylish.’

    • JOyce says:

      Don’t have anything nice to say, don’t say it. If you’re here to complain then go away.

      As to my opinion: I must say, it’s not my favourite look, her hair looks a bit greasy, but she makes the dress work, and I adore her shoes πŸ˜‰

    Really,someone should tell her to rest,I don’t really think it’s healthly what she is all doing since Friday and she even tweeted this Afternoon ,that she is tired.

    And People are seeing that she is tired,so I really hope she knows to rest now and go back to Uni,enjoys just the Life with Friends and study and Freetime

  13. Anon says:

    Is it me or does she look like she has gained a lot of weight since the Deathly Hallows premiere back in November.

  14. Amanda says:

    I always like Emma’s style. Her BAFTA gown was so beautiful! She must have been an easy choice for this award. I’m also impressed by her humility. With all the awards and attention she’s received over the last few years, she seems so well grounded.

  15. andrew says:

    I am so thrilled that emma won the award. πŸ˜› And her speech was great too.

  16. meandme says:

    vivienne westwood was like…*lol*…so awesome!
    And Emma was really adorable, much more relaxed and natural than at the Baftas. Lovely speech. Especially loved the beginning and the cute thank you message to her mom!

  17. Arou says:

    She looks like twiggy on these pictures! :O:O

  18. Celia says:

    I had trouble viewing the video, it would only play for 1:10 and then stop, is there anywhere else I can access it?

  22. manisha says:

    I seriously love the dress on her! Great choice, Emma! And I don’t think she gained wieght, I just think she’s been working out…getting a bit of muscle, ya know. lol. All in all, she looks better than ever.

    • Arou says:

      That’s exactly what I think. She doesn’t seem to have gained weight. She seem to have gained some healthy muscles and weight she needed to take! πŸ˜› (i always thought she was a bit too skinny… like a lot of actresses… do you think it’s because of their work schedule?)

  23. Anonymous says:

    Does it glitch at 1:10 for anyone else?

  24. flowerpower says:

    i like what vivienne said about being harry potter girlfriend

  25. KS987 says:

    Emma is one stunningly sexy woman. WOW!!! I don’t think it’s healthy for me to see all of these videos and pictures, but I’ve never been much of a health nut anyway. πŸ˜› Congratulations to Emma for winning the “Style Icon” award. It’s nice to see her win an award for her massive contribution to the fashion world. πŸ™‚ I hope she manages to get some rest though, as it’s been a busy four days for her.

    simply gorgeous she deserves it..

    btw at sassy there were some behind of scenes from people tree photoshoot with emma “Love from emma” http://dresslikeemma.net/gallery/thumbnails.php?album=353

  27. Valentina says:

    She deserved the award that’s for sure :D!

  28. HELEN says:

    Go Emma!

  29. Harald says:

    Hello Staff, isn’t there anything that can be done about all those fake Emma-fotos on German ebay?

    • meandme says:

      I think you could contact ebay and let them be removed? Are they marked as fakes? If not I think you could tell ebay someone is trying to sell fake pictures pretending they are real ones. I haven’t checked but they are probably nude pictures? Because if so I am think there’s a decent chance ebay might remove them.

  30. Amanda says:

    Vivienne Westwood takes my breath away, but not in a good way. She looks absolutely GARISH!

  31. Tia says:

    She’s growing her hair out! She looks amazing with short or long hair. Can’t wait to see how it turns out! Probably by fall she’ll have it around the way she’s hoping for. I’ve had my hair her style for a little over 3 months and it’s growing surprisingly fast! Little know fact about the cut Emma and I have, the top grows fastest!

  32. Tree says:

    Emma looked stunning! During all four nights at the pre-Bafta parites, the BAFTA’s themselves and the after party plus the Elle style awards – Emma’s outfits were amazing and outshone every single one! She deserves the Elle Style Icon award because she is finally getting noticed for her work. And actually is a style icon. And for everyone who is wondering who will make it after Harry Potter… the answer is, and Emma is going to be big! Oscar’s in a few years i think?

  33. Silly says:

    Like I said on facebook, Emma is a style i-con. =)

  34. Nicole says:

    Emma really deserved that award, she is THE style icon πŸ™‚
