Emma Watson Goes From Harry Potter to Haute Couture

What's this I hear? Hermione Granger is becoming a supermodel? Well--not quite a supermodel just yet, but she's well on her way if you ask me. The Harry Potter starlet is famous for playing a bookworm in the J.K. Rowling blockbusters, but it seems like Ms. Watson is really coming into her own beautywise. In reality, her role as a studious genius isn't too far off base because she's been accepted to Yale University!

I remember a few years ago she was on Letterman or something and she said that she's made enough money so she'll never have to work again. This of course caused Potterphiles worldwide to assume that she's leaving the film industry altogether and she'll stop making the movies. Thankfully, she's still right in the thick of it and we can look forward to seeing her in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hollows I & II.

Below are photos from her ad campaign for Burberry. I've actually seen these photos before in Vogue, and I literally didn't notice that it was her. I guess that means she's a chameleon, which is a coveted quality for a model to have. By the way, is anyone else just drooling over those Burberry totes? They all look very lush and give off an Aspen vibe. If I had to choose, I'd go for the first one because it reeks of fabulosity.

The Fabulous Style of Blake Lively

Blake Lively was born in Tarzana, California on August 25, 1987, with a destiny to grow up and become an actress. In fact, both of her parents and all four siblings are in the enternainment industry. She was homeschooled as a young child, and as luck would have it, her future Gossip Girl co-star Penn Badgley was one of her classmates. She then attended Burbank High School where she was in National Show Choir, a cheerleader, and senior class president.

Although Blake was initially interested in attending Stanford University, she was bitten by the acting bug right before her senior year of high school. It was then, after attending only two auditions, that she landed the role of Bridget for the Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants. She was nominated for a Teen Choice Award for this role. Her film career then began to flourish after that when she starred in Accepted, Simon Says, Elvis and Anabelle, and Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2.


After all of this movie success, Blake Lively landed the role of her life when she was cast as Serena van der Woodsen on the CW's Gossip Girl. Blake does a very good job of standing out among her co-stars on Gossip Girl with her unique fashion sense paired with classic American girl good looks. Here is a photo of Serena van der Woodsen bundled up in a black coat while carrying a Burberry Prorsum Warrior bag.

And here is the fabulous Blake Lively in a photo shoot for The New York Times, decked out in a Kooba jacket, James Perse sweater, Stella McCartney pants, Chanel shoes, and a Gucci bag.

Even on the red carpet, Blake Lively manages to look trendy whether she's dressed up, or casual.

Katherine Heigl...Only 29 and Already an Icon

Katherine Heigl is perhaps best known for playing the lovesick Izzy Stevens on ABC's Grey's Anatomy, but this blonde bombshell is becoming quite the fashion icon. Like many famous Hollywood starlets, Heigl got her start in modeling as a child. She modeled for catalogs, and she also appeared in TV commercials. She made her acting debut at the age of 14 in the film That Night. Her first starring role was in the 1994 movie My Father the Hero. She also starred in the Disney movie Wish Upon a Star (one of my favorite Heigl roles).

However, in 2005 she was cast as Dr. Isobel Stevens in Grey's Anatomy, the dream role she's probably most famous for. Although she plays a surgeon and therefore usually wears scrubs, she's probably the most stylish person on the show. With or without makeup, Heigl's inner and outer beauty really resonates through the complex character of Izzie Stevens. This is probably why she was awarded the Emmy in 2007 for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Drama Series.


As I've mentioned, Katherine Heigl is quickly becoming a fashion and beauty icon...especially on the red carpet. Here she is at the 2007 Emmys where she won, which is no surprise because Heigl clearly dressed to win. This white denim Zac Posen was perfect and ended up being one of the highlights of the night.

You can't talk about Katherine Heigl and the red carpet without discussing the red Escada gown she wore to the 2008 Oscars. It was classically elegant and tailored to fit her beautifully. She looked flawless.


Even outside the red carpet, Heigl still manages to look glamorous. Here she is in an extremely casual tan button-down shirt, dark jeans, flats, and a dark brown quilted Chanel handbag.

One of the biggest looks that defines Katherine Heigl is definitely the oversized trendy sunglasses. These Burberry shades make her look chic, as usual.

Another facet of the Heigl signature look is undoubtedly the ruby red lips. Here she is again at the 2007 Emmys, wearing classic red lipstick reminiscent of old Hollywood glamour.
