Hermione Granger is all grown up now. Emma Watson, of Harry Potter movie fame, is the star of Burberry’s most current advertising campaign.
When I first heard the rumors of the starlet appearing in the ads, I wasn’t sure what to expect of her following in the footsteps of previous Burberry fashion models like Kate Moss and Lily Donaldson. Well, I was pleasantly surprised and even a little taken aback by this young actress’ work for the campaign.
Let me just say that this girl knows how to work a camera. With some dramatic eye make-up and a few pouty-lipped male co-stars, Watson has transformed from pretty 19-year old gal to gorgeous fashion icon.
Of course, she’s had a little experience in the modeling department, even having a personal session with Karl Lagerfeld for a recent photo shoot. It’s not that I didn’t think she’d do a nice job for Burberry. I just didn’t expect such a lovely, mature look from her. She brings both youthfulness and class to the brand at the same time.
Some of the fall/winter Burberry handbags in the ads nearly take over Watson’s small frame, though. I guess the oversize trend isn’t going anywhere anytime soon. Click here to see more of the campaign.
