FASHION'S NEWEST DARLING

Posted Jul 10 2009 @ 04:24 PM

The fashion world's newest darling, Emma Watson, was spotted turning heads and impressing countless sartorial admirers at the NYC premiere of her new film Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince last night, July 9, held at the Ziegfeld Theatre in Manhattan. Previously spotted in stunning choices from Rodarte and vintage Ossie Clark, Watson chose a dress from Proenza Schouler's Resort 2010 Collection with a haltered black leather bodice and attached white skirt for the NYC premiere. A daring and risque frock, Emma's genuine sweetness and ease kept the look from being overkill. I have to commend the young Ms. Watson, who seems to have made the fashion world take notice of her impeccable style almost overnight, for her looks have been sophisticated, tasteful, and above all, effortless. To get Emma's look here, try combining several key pieces strategically for a unified look, a la Proenza Schouler. Start with a dramatic top (I love Gold Hawk's embellished Chevron Top in Moonless Night) tucked into a clean white skirt (try Joe's Jeans' Ollie Skirt in White) and belt it with a nude belt (Motif 56's Piper Belt in Natural), and then accessorize with strappy criss-cross heels and a vibrant turquoise ring (like Rachel Leigh Jewelry's Enamel Ring in Blue). Finish off your look with fresh and youthful makeup with a pale pink lip and slate grey eyes, and you'll be red carpet ready. Emma recently told Teen Vogue that she hasn't been working with a stylist, because "there's nothing interesting about looking perfect." What do you think of Emma's look here - as well as on the carpet the past few days? Are you as impressed as I am?
