It’s More Than Just Her Style That Makes Emma Watson Outstanding

Emma Watson is more than just an impressive style icon – she’s been the leading lady of one of the biggest movie franchises to ever hit theaters, a Brown University scholar, an eloquent spokesperson for feminism, a UN Goodwill Ambassador, and the future star of the Beauty and the Beast remake – all before turning 25, how’s that for a résumé? Now Emma has been designated as the No. 1 choice in Askmen’s list of the 99 Top Outstanding Women of 2015 – and what better way to celebrate than by revisiting her sartorial moments that captured and held our attention. As we’ve watched Emma mature into an inspiring role model, we’ve also watched her signature style develop from Hermione Granger to haute couture. While she’s held on to her appreciation for avant-garde fashion, she exudes an elegant femininity no matter what occasion she is dressing up for. Whether she’s floating down the red carpet in ethereal designer gowns, taking a turn on the color wheel in kaleidoscope combinations, or translating her cool-girl street style into punk-chic, high-fashion moments, we are in awe of Watson’s ability to always push the envelope.
