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.’
