Emma talks style and beauty tips in the French issue of Marie Claire and online. Translation by Neve.
Q: At what age did you find your style?
A: I’m still looking for it! I always know what I feel like wearing on the red carpet. But it’s more complicated in my daily life – it usually depends on my mood… so it varies!
Q: What is your beauty routine on an ordinary day?
A: When I’m not working, I usually go for less. My skin needs some rest between two makeup sessions. I use moisturiser and go for some lip balm, a bit of mascara and a thin line of natural, brown eyeliner.
Q: An unforgettable facial treatment?
A: In New York, any personnalized facial treatment from Advanced Skin Care Day Spa. It’s amazing how it makes my face look healthier and more glowing.
Q: Your secret after a night out?
A: The Blush In Love Pêche Joue-Joue from Lancôme’s spring collection, all over the face. It’s very light so the result is subtle. It makes the skin glow without being over the top. You just look fresh and healthy.
Q: What kind of exercise do you do?
A: I’ve been practising yoga for a year with a coach. And I walk a lot and I go for a run if there’s a park nearby. Some greenery, some music and here I go!
Q: The perfume that feels most like you?
A: Trésor Midnight Rose by Lancôme. I usually wear it on the week-end or when I go out in the evening. To me, it means fun so I usually avoid it when I’m working.
Q: Your go-to moisturiser?
A: Rose Soothing & Protective Moisturiser by MV Organic Skincare. I love its smell and its super soft formula is great for my sensitive skin. I use the entire collection!
[Note: Emma is actually featured on the MV Organic Skincare website as the product is mentioned in an article about her makeup routine in Cosmo (a scan is provided): ]
Q: A personal beauty tip?
A: I always press a warm towel sprinkled with lavender oil before removing my makeup. It makes the whole process less abrasive for the skin.
Q: What advice did your mother give you?
A: Never let yourself go. She is very classy and keeps inspiring me.
Q: What is the best definition of beauty according to you?
A: Believing in yourself, being self-confident, it makes you look beautiful. That was Audrey Hepburn’s case.
Emma Watson has the cover feature in the May issue of British GQ magazine. In the interview Emma talks about The Bling Ring and includes new photos, in character as Nikki, by Mark Seliger. Thanks to Vogue.co.uk and Roberto for the images, and an excerpt of the interview below from www.gq-magazine.co.uk. Read the full article in the May issue on sale tomorrow, April 4. Also available on iPad, Google Play and Kindle Fire.
“When I read the script and I realised that essentially it was a meditation on fame and what it’s become to our society, I had to do it,” says Watson of The Bling Ring. “The character is everything that I felt strongly against – she’s superficial, materialistic, vain, amoral. She’s all of these things and I realised that I hated her. How do you play someone you hate? But I found it really interesting and it gave me a whole new insight into what my job, or my role as an actress, could be.”
There was another reason Watson chose the risqué role: it wasn’t a period drama. “Really I was open-minded about doing anything, but the one thing I didn’t want to do was get myself into a corset because I was worried I’d never get out again,” she says. “I knew it would be a really comfortable thing to do, but I felt… I had to dive into something really different. This has been a really big departure for me; it’s a really big character. That’s so exciting for me because it meant I was really acting.”
Emma Watson, Logan Lerman and Ezra Miller were featured in Nylon magazine, credit to septimiu29 for the scans.
Elle also has a feature on Emma in their Women in Hollywood issue. Thank you to SaRa for sending in a transcript.
EMMA WATSON
As Harry Potter’s wand-wielding, scene-stealing, know-it-all sidekick Hermione Granger, Emma Watson grew up before our eyes. Now she’s working her magic in a series of challenging, high-profile adult roles. Hogwarts? What Hogwarts?
In 2001, a reedy-voiced, frizzy-haired slip of a girl in a school cloak and tie slid open a train door on the Hogwarts Express and uttered her opening line: “Has anyone seen a toad?” Thus the world met Emma Watson, who, at nine years old, beat out squillions of other hopefuls for the role of magical Muggleborn witch Hermione Granger in Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone. “I just knew, from the moment I read it, that I was meant to play that role,” says Watson, now 22 and having undergone, over the course of the nine Potter films, a Polyjuice Potion–worthy transformation from that tiny, tenacious Hogwarts newbie into a gamine, self-possessed, exceptionally charismatic grown-up. “My first impression of her was that she was so young and successful and beautiful, but had so much to prove to herself. That gave her a lot of depth, and also a touch of loneliness,” says Stephen Chbosky, who directed Watson’s first major post-Potter role, in an adaptation of his 1999 best-selling novel, The Perks of Being a Wallflower, about a group of high school misfits. As Sam, a troubled but tenderhearted teen, she projects both a surprisingly mature emotional intelligence and a riveting, bursting-from-the-screen energy. “She is one hell of a leading lady,” Chbosky says.
The New York Times has a new interview with Emma in their T-Magazine – Women’s Fall Fashion issue. Emma talks about working on her American accent for Perks, continuing her education and acting, and dealing with fame. The article includes a new photoshoot by Alasdair McLellan.
Update: Added another photo from the magazine. Thanks for the tip Cathe.
The Graduate By WILL SELF | August 17, 2012 New York Time T-Magazine
Emma Watson, the onetime co-star of the most successful movie franchise ever, is a very grateful and a very lucky person. How do I know that? Because I sat down with the 22-year-old in a gastropub in a trendy neighborhood of North London, and in the course of an hour’s conversation she said “grateful” five times and “lucky” eight. True, of those five “grateful”s two were of the “ungrateful” form — yet these were embedded in clauses like “I felt guilty because I felt like that meant I was ungrateful. . . .” So, as you can see, Watson is a young woman who wants it put firmly on the record that she understands human lives are shaken up in the snow globe of uncertainty, and that simply because she’s ended up being covered in golden flakes, she doesn’t take it as her due, oh, no.
Emma has donated a “favorite old DKNY waistcoat” and a new DKNY t-shirt along with a signed letter to the charity Sense.org for auction on eBay. Click here to bid. Rupert Grint has donated a jacket which he wore at the GoF premiere. Thanks to RupertGrint.net for the tip.

Emma is #28 on Entertainment Weekly’s 30 Under 30 list, their choice of the top 30 actresses under 30. Dan is #29 on the actor list. Thanks to everyone who let us know.
And we have scans of an article about Emma’s Chanel wardrobe from the Mexican magazine Popcorn thanks to HarryPotterLA.
Wolf Spirit sent us this translation:
“Unlike most girls her age, Emma Watson has perfectly clear the style for which she wants to be remembered and that’s non other than Chanel. Yes, the young English 17 year old girl, born in France, who jumped to stardom portraying Hermione Granger in the Harry Potter movies attends all her events wearing designs from the exclusive brand. A great choice, since not only does she manage to look to always look elegant but she also keeps her youthful image with the classic touch that has always distinguished Chanel. And that’s why just because you’re a teenager it doesn’t mean you can’t dress with glamour”.
