Emma Watson is the New Face of Burberry

EWO has announced that Emma is indeed the new face of Burberry. I guess this is no surprise after hearing about her autumn/winter campaign, but now it’s official. I think we’ll see much more from her in the future.

Emma suffers minor back injury

Emma was to be a guest at the Raisa Gorbachev Ball this past Saturday, but did not attend. The Evening Standard is reporting that “Last week Watson suffered a minor back injury and was advised not to go to the Raisa midsummer ball, hosted by Mikhail Gorbachev, where J K Rowling had been a guest.” Thankfully it does not seem too serious as nothing was said on EWO. Take care Emma, and hope you have a speedy recovery.

    OMG!!!!!! THAT IS BETTER THAN CHANEL IN MY OPINION!!!!! 😉

  2. muggle_born says:

    CONGRATULATIONS on Burberry Emma! 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 dook, do you know if The Evening Standard is a credible source? I'm just wondering if this report is true or is this like reading The Daily Mail.

  3. dook says:

    muggle_born, I don’t know how reliable Evening Standard is in general, but the rest of the article seems mostly true, and it seems like a plausible reason for Emma not to attend.

  4. muggle_born says:

    dook, It sounded true to me too, but I'm way too gullible and I needed another opinion. THANX! 🙂 🙂 🙂

  5. Jaclyn says:

    Oh I didn't see the back injury part….hope she is alright I wonder how she injured it??? One of my friends said she only made that up because she is turning in to a diva which w/e emma is not that way at all 😛

  6. buffysangel says:

    Gosh, maybe her and Rupert got a little to physical with their kiss? 😆

  7. dannl says:

    Burberry …WOW !! Congrats Emma a perfect match up !! Emma's publicist must be doing cartwheels . I just want to jump and dance . It means more Emma and that's a good thing . Yessssssss 🙂

  8. Roger says:

    Emma is most certainly not a diva! She is the exact opposite, which is one of the major reasons, I'm sure, that Burberry chose her. That press release was absolutely breathless with praise about her personality. Good general rule: NEVER believe ANYTHING you read in the British press, with the single possible exception of the Times. Their press is almost completely out of control. I am close to being the world's greatest Emma admirer, and the two sites I have found that are absolutely trustworthy are this one right here (THANK you, Dook) and of course her own. Just stick to those two and you are safe. 😉

  9. Rachel says:

    Congrats to Emma!! And I hope she recovers quickly from her back injury.

  10. iKing says:

    ^ 100ly agree with that 🙂 I'm too visit only that site and EWO… And my own, of course (emma-watson.wen9.com… it's mobile site. And I didn't upgrade it for months (have not good internet connection), so it's not so good site, but I still visit it, lol). Aaaaand, I'm sooooo glad to hear about Burberry thing, coz firstly, how dannl said it's means more Emma and secondly (or it's 1stly and that 2ndly

  11. iKing says:

    I'm so happy for her 🙂 She is makes biger star and I think after that she 100%ly won't leave us after HP 🙂 Congrats Emma, hope you are well 🙂

  12. Arm says:

    ("Last week Watson suffered a minor back injury and was advised not to go to the Raisa midsummer ball, hosted by Mikhail Gorbachev, where J K Rowling had been a guest.") How it to understand? 😕

  13. dook says:

    Arm, what?

  14. KS987 says:

    Poor Emma. A back injury? How did that happen? I hope she's alright. Congrats to her being the new face of Burberry. 🙂

  15. muggle_born says:

    @Jaclyn, I personally am very tired of hearing about the “diva” nonsense. This tabloid garbage is COMPLETELY BASELESS and I wish you would stop repeating it here.

  16. Arm says:

    dook, what for Raisa Gorbachev Ball?

  17. dook says:

    Arm, the Raisa Gorbachev Foundation Ball was a charity dinner. They raise money to help children with cancer. See the June 4 update. Emma was listed as a guest but she did not attend. She did go in 2007.

  18. Rupertfan13 says:

    Poor Emma, I hope she get well soon 😥 😡

  19. Rupertfan13 says:

    I mean 🙁 not 😡

  20. Jaclyn says:

    Muggle_born you have no right to tell me what i can and can not say btw I wasn't saying anything about her being a diva I was saying someone I know thinks she is one…I wasn't saying anything bad about emma and I don't repeat things about the whole diva stuff so idk what your talking about but don't talk to me that way.

  21. Amanda says:

    I agree with Jaclyn, ppl on here shouldn't be disrespecting others on what they say. HOPE EMMA GETS BETTER! 🙂

  22. muggle_born says:

    @Jaclyn, today is not the first time you’ve brought up that garbage that you heard from a “friend”. Why do keep repeating it?? This is how CRAP like that sticks to a celebrity. First it appears in some tabloid, then people like your “friend” swallow it whole, and then people like you repeat it. You’re right

  23. John says:

    So is she just modeling for a year or something or is this like a long term contract?

  24. Jaclyn says:

    Muggle_born chill out seriously I wasn't saying anything bad about her! so why are you hassling me? and btw I've looked and looked through other updates that I've commented on and no I haven't said anything about her being a "diva" and if I did it was several several several SEVERAL possibly weeks ago! So please stop getting worked up over nothing because I wasn't saying anything bad in the first place

  25. dook says:

    Ok, let’s not argue.John, I don’t know, and I’ve seen nothing but rumors on the internet. It may be just for the Autumn/Winter campaign, or maybe longer. I don’t follow fashion news, but maybe others will know how long a typical “face of…” lasts.

    http://www.nuvideo.nl/film/27652/acteurs-harry-potter-promoten-nieuwe-film.ht ml Just have a look. It's a promotion tour I found on a dutch newssite.

  27. frederique says:

    pretty weird actually… thought shed be more into becoming Chanel's face! 😕

  28. bigbookwormfantasylover says:

    That's a shame that Emma got hurt! I am glad it wasn't worse than it was. I hope she has a speedy recover. That's neat that she is the new face for Burberry and she does look beautiful in the new pictures.

  29. Jaclyn says:

    Sorry dook…. I honestly didn't start the argument idk why muggle_born just felt the need to attack my comment when I honestly wasn't saying anything bad

  30. EmRocksSocks says:

    I hope she recovers (or recovered) quickly. 🙁

  31. hope of change says:

    Hope she gets well as soon as possible 🙂

  32. KS987 says:

    It's great news to hear that Emma is the face of Burberry. Can't wait to see more of her. I hope she makes a speedy recovery if that report is true.

  33. cemal says:

    great! 🙂 😉

  34. phdnk says:

    I incline to belive, Emma hasn't got hurt at all. This injury story is just a subtle reason not to attend the ball.

  35. Jaclyn says:

    See what i mean?? ^^^^^^

  36. 130671 says:

    😕 She didn`t "not attend" for no reason?!? Maybe something happened in her family or with one of her friends and someone leaked a cover story…or maybe it`s entirely true. But that`s not the point. Did anyone claim to have seen her doing something else at the time ? No ? Was the ball cancelled ? No ? So the ball went ahead, money was raised…and Emma wasn`t there for some reason. Get over it and stop hinting that she might have had selfish motives for that. 😡

  37. Iv says:

    I'm looking forward to seeing the ads on my magazines 🙂 OT: Isn't it about time the website look was updated? I mean, the same layouts have been up for what seems like ages… 😕

    Congrats on being the new face of burberry and I also hope you back gets better. Good luck, Emma!
