We’ll always have fond memories of Emma Watson as the precocious Hermione Granger in the Harry Potter series, but the actress has accomplished a lot in her career since then. Emma’s become a strong activist with her He For She campaign, championed eco-friendly fashion brands, modeled for big brands, and starred in other highly raved about movies like Little Women. Just like her vast portfolio of accolades, Emma’s style, too, has evolved over time with her career.
Now more than ever, the star attends major red carpet events, and fashion houses such as Dior and Alexander McQueen are right there to dress her. Emma’s not shy about experimenting with dress silhouettes – she’s worn everything from minis to elaborate ballgowns – and she rocks pantsuits on the regular. No matter what this star puts on, she can rock the hell out of it. Take a trip down memory lane by admiring some of Emma Watson’s most memorable outfits to date.
