Emma Watson has emerged as quite the young fashion star—from wearing Rodarte and hanging with Daphne Guinness to shooting with Mario Testino for the new Burberry ads that will break in August magazines, where she looks like the picture of youthful sophistication.
And with each move, we love her more and more.
Now, if only we could groom our young American stars to grow up in the spotlight with as much style and grace as the girl best known as Hermione. We suppose Dakota Fanning is holding her own, but other examples elude us.
Christopher Bailey said of Emma, “Her charm, intellect and brilliant sense of fun made the whole shoot feel like a picnic on the Thames.” We can hardly imagine any designer saying the same of one of our teen queens.

She Looks great!
Gorgeous. She looks like baby Carine in this picture.
that bag !!! Burberry is really not my kind of thing but that bag is a dream. ahhh. WANT.
i love Burberry and Christopher Bailey, but i prefer Lily over Emma.
If only what was shown on the runway was easier to find in stores instead of just things covered in that darn plaid.
I remember when the first HP movie came out and I kept thinking “that girl is gorgeous”. So nice to see her coming into her own in a graceful, calm manner. It’s wonderful to see child stars who aren’t ruined by fame.
Accio Burberry campaign!
Whatever. She’s already done a sexed up photo shoot in England. And because she looks like she’s fourteen, you can imagine how incongruent the photos looked. As for “starlets from America not ruined by fame,” how about Abigail Breslin? And the Disney crew. Selena Gomez, Demi Lovato,Raven Simone, and company still seem pretty normal to me.
Emma Roberts seems well-adjusted
lol at #6
you can be sophisticated when you’re 40! teenage years are for fun and experimenting
@6 & @10.
I like you guys.
@#6: FINALLY! A Fashionista commenter with a sense of humor!
@#7: Aside from Abigail Breslin, who I LOVE (Superfreak, anyone?!), is that they are all associated with Disney. After watching Britney Spears, Lohan, etc get dragged through the mud after careers with Disney, I personally feel that there is a stigma attached to their child stars.
Of the kids working for Disney today, I can’t think of any of them that are decent role model. It seems like all they do is shop or lunching, and when they’re not they’re leaking naked photos of themselves onto the internet (Vanessa Hudgeons, Raven Simone’s Cheetah Girls co-star, Miley Cyrus’s half-naked blackberry photos). It just seems like they are ALL a mess.
Anyway, Emma looks amazing here. She is such a beautiful girl and seems like a decent role model for young girls today. And I have to say that I’m with Abby on this one…I’m def. holding my breath for Dakota Fanning
p.s: I’ll save you the trouble so you can hold all of your snarky comments: I realize I made oodles of grammatical errors.
Love, #12
Haha no.12, combating the hateful remarks even before people think them. But I completely agree with you about the Disney stars.
The article wasn’t saying that there aren’t American starlets who don’t seem wholesome and role-model-esque, no.7.
But you can hardly say that Selena Gomez is a mature and sophisticated woman. You would laugh profusely if she was featured in a Burberry campaign.
she looks fantastic!
She looks great, i love Burberry campaigns.
# 13 love what you said about the snarky grammatical comments!! Someone will be disapointed.
I agree with Guest #10. Emma looks smashing, of course, but I can’t help but think that both she and her male model friend look all of 12 playing dress-up in their mummy’s clothes. I would have rather seen an older, more sophisticated person in the ad.
Nobody said that everyone from Disney is a great role model, I simply pointed out that it’s not as if it’s Dakota Fanning or die. And I seem to remember Selena Gomez looking smasing in Teen Vogue a few months back. I wouldn’t write her off the fashion list so quickly, #14.
“Now, if only we could groom our young American stars to grow up in the spotlight with as much style and grace as the girl best known as Hermione. We suppose Dakota Fanning is holding her own, but other examples elude us.”
Umm, other examples don’t elude me. I don’t feel at all so worried for America, especially if you look at what little Hermione looks like when she isn’t being dressed up by Burberry.
youthful sophistication!!! yes yes.. I love her.
i heard she’s quite a diva on the harry potter set.

she looks good though.
If I were Hermione, I would be a diva too.
Love, #12
Emma is the one person i am happy to see replacing a model for the campaign.
I love selena Gomez. I think that she is gorgeous and really watchable and i think she just has this thing. Its much too soon to tell what kind of path she will take but im really rooting for her and think that she has the potential to stay acceptable.
she looks amazing, and i can’t wait to get that bag. even with the blatant check.
i noticed burberry likes young models…wasn’t that rosie huntington (i know i got her name wrong but too lazy to google) a teen too?
she looks amazing! and yes dakota fanning is probably the only other young american stars with great fashion sense. with all the twilight buzz i can’t stand looking at kristen stewart and her fashion choices like the belted yigal dress at the mtv movie awards and not to mention her everyday look. yuck. and then there are the less talented young american actors with every label pasted on to them in the most unflattering way. sigh…
Not that shes particularly stylish, but Hilary Duff made it out of the formidable years without embarassing herself, so it is possible for disney stars to make it out.
