All about Emma Watson

It began with next spring must-have high-waisted shorts and black tunic and ended with thousand meters of tufted tulle gown sweeping the runway.

Tempered, very tempered GV style!

Giambattista Valli:

It’s about a metamorphosis. There’s a big change going on in these times.”

With this he brought some airy mystery, just a very slight one, to Milan Fashion Week.

Certainly, GV has attracted a gilt-edged list of celebrity clientele since he established his own label in 2005.

Penelope Cruz, Victoria Beckham, Hilary Swank, Gwyneth Paltrow, Mischa Barton, Cameron Diaz, all wear his clothes.

Among his high profile guests there were Natalie Portman and Emma Watson sitting in the front row. I totally see the two wearing the feminine, yet partying works.

Guipure lace and hopsack, faded-and-flaking wallpaper prints are the 50’s style dance dresses.

Neat to the waist and flaring out into teacup circle skirts.

Valli pointed that he wanted to make his silhouettes correspond faithfully to his sketches.

But in reality, you can take off the petticoat, and it’s just a nice godet skirt.”

Giambattista has become a phenomenon in fashion and Hollywood. He exploded out of Paris several years ago when Angelina Jolie chose one of his early dresses to wear for a photo shoot. It happened to be the W Magazine shoot with Brad Pitt.

Back then Brad rumored to be Ms. Jolie’s lover. It was during the making of the Mr. and Mrs. Smith.

“The vast skirts, ending in long trains, in lilac, cream and beige, could have stepped out of an Italian Old Master painting,” writes Hilary Alexander, of Telegraph.co.uk

“They were composed of literally thousands of minutes, silk chiffon “rosettes” or else a cascade of fingertip-pleated ruffles.”

Sonia Rykiel, the flame-haired godmother of Parisian chic, celebrated her 40 years in fashion with a massive dinner, 500 A list celebrities and catwalk spectacle in a marquee in the national park of Saint Cloud, overlooking an amazing view of Paris, on Wednesday night.

The Sonia Rykiel show was tongue-in-cheek as a superman outfit by American fashion designer Jeremy Scott appeared on the catwalk.

Paris Fashion Week turned democratic as one of the designers’ clearly showed support for Barack Obama, US Democratic Presidential candidate, at the Sonia Rykiel Spring/Summer 2009 show. This collection was a collaboration to celebrate 40 years of the fashion house and included many guest designers, which was a surprise organized by Sonia’s daughter Nathalie.

Guest designers included the mother and daughter, duo guest designers Kate and Laura Mulleavy, who sent one model down the catwalk in a preppy cheerleader-style jumper dress with the name ‘Obama’ emblazoned across the model’s chest.

Democratic support included message that was reinforced by the famous quote from Martin Luther King, ‘I have a dream’.

The ready-to-wear collection was designed by Gabrielle Greiss under Sonia Rykiel’s supervision and included around 30 silhouettes signed by other top designers.

The most eye-catching dress came from Jean Paul Gaultier who paid homage to Rykiel’s title of the ‘Queen of Knits’ with an almost unfinished black striped dress held up by giant knitting needles!

Other designers who contributed were the fashion elite: Gaultier, Lacroix and Castelbajac, along with Martin Margiela, Yohji Yamamoto, Karl Lagerfeld, Vivienne Westwood, Valentino, Rodarte, Stella McCartney, Diane Von Furstenberg, Narciso Rodriguez and Michael Kors.

The 500 celebrity guests, included celebrities such as Kate Bosworth, Emma Watson, Dita Von Teese, Natalia Vodianova and Mila Jovovich sat down to dine before the show.

Emma who was wearing a silver knitted Rykiel dress to prove that the iconic French brand of the 1968 youth quake generation is still young at heart said:

I just thought it would be an amazing thing to come.”

To the sound of Stevie Wonder’s ‘Happy Birthday’ and the popping of champagne corks, Sonia Rykiel took a very well-deserved bow.

Even at 78 Sonia Rykiel is having fun. Her dresses, berets and stockings are cheeky and playful.

Happy Birthday, Sonia!

At the show itself good girl “the goody two-shoes of Hogwarts”, her alter ego Hermione Granger was sitting with the bad girls.

Harry Potter actress was sat in the front row watching the Christian Dior Ready-to-Wear collection show, next to none but Lilly Allen who told Elton John to ‘fuck off’ during an on-stage rant as she co-presented the GQ Awards; striptease diva Dita Von Teese, who is ex-wife of the dead-looking-guy-of-no-certain-sex Marylin Manson; and last but not the least bad - Katy Perry, who Kissed A Girl and who liked it.

On this one Lilly Allen, Dita Von Teese, Katy Perry and Emma Watson with Zoe Zaldana and Eva Green enjoying front row view.

Oh, what a company!

Don’t you wish you were there next to those ladies too?

The porcelain elegance, faraway expression and sparkle of diamonds say Grace Kelly. DailyMail compares Emma Watson to the Queen of Monaco as the 18 year old Harry Potter actress glances the Italian Vogue.

As Hermione grows up she gets more and more grace and beauty. Actress was photographed by Mark Seliger, who once photographed Mick Jagger, Keith Richards and Kurt Cobain.

Here is what Emma tells about Mark, the noted photographer:

Mark encouraged me to become a different person or character for each photograph and so they all tell different stories.

So, in the end, I combined two loves: art and fashion and acting. I learned a lot and have found a whole new respect for the hard work models put into their work and for the couture. A love affair has begun.”

Miss Watson is about to go to university as soon as she finishes the Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.

I would like to go to university and complete a degree and so that will mean a break from acting. I’ve always tried to balance my education with my acting career, but I just don’t think it will be possible to juggle it with a degree course. I have a need now to study.”

She said she will put away her acting career for a while and instead will be becoming a familiar face in the fashion industry.

Emma has signed up to the Storm agency which also represents Kate Moss, Carla Bruni and Lily Cole.

In April, when Emma Watson turned 18, she gained control of her finances and it was revealed recently that she had purchased a £1 million chalet in the ski resort of Meribel in France.

The teenager, who ranks as the 55th wealthiest young person in the country, speaks fluent French having lived in Paris until the age of five.

The trailer for the sixth film in the Harry Potter series, Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince, has been released online.

Judging be the teaser trailer I can say Half Blood Prince could be a much darker and more intense than previous releases. Some scenes in the trailer are more reminiscent of a horror film. David Yates returns for his second stint in the director’s chair.

The trailer opens with a worried looking Harry Potter (Daniel Radcliffe), before wizard Dumbledore glances into the past with a flashback to Lord Voldemort’s origins.

Voldemort is tightening his grip on both the Muggle and wizarding worlds and Hogwarts is no longer the safe haven it once was. Harry suspects that dangers may even lie within the castle, but Dumbledore is more intent upon preparing him for the final battle that he knows is fast approaching. Together they work to find the key to unlock Voldemort’s defenses and, to this end, Dumbledore recruits his old friend and colleague, the well-connected and unsuspecting bon vivant Professor Horace Slughorn, whom he believes holds crucial information.

Meanwhile, the students are under attack from a very different adversary as teenage hormones rage across the ramparts. Harry finds himself more and more drawn to Ginny, but so is Dean Thomas. And Lavender Brown has decided that Ron is the one for her, only she hadn’t counted on Romilda Vane’s chocolates!

And then there’s Hermione, simpering with jealously but determined not to show her feelings. As romance blossoms, one student remains aloof. He is determined to make his mark, albeit a dark one. Love is in the air, but tragedy lies ahead and Hogwarts may never be the same again.

Cast includes Daniel Radcliffe, Rupert Grint, Emma Watson, Helena Bonham Carter, David Bradley, Jim Broadbent, Jessie Cave, Robbie Coltrane, Warwick Davis, Frank Dillane, Tom Felton, Michael Gambon, Matthew Lewis, Evanna Lynch, Helen McCrory, Alan Rickman, Maggie Smith, Natalia Tena, Hero Fiennes Tiffin, Julie Walters, David Thewlis and Bonnie Wright.

Can’t wait to see Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince? Will be out soon! Have you read the book? Drop a line of your expectations for the movie.

Hermione, the wit student of Gryffindor and Harry Potter’s best friend turns 18 years old. She is gorgeous and her most prominent feature is her cleverness.

But Sinful Comics assholes are celebrating Emma’s birthday in their own way. The Russian AWM (adult webmasters) are working on comics featuring this overachiever in their dirty works, as they say, to squeeze the maximum of celebrity traffic.

Poor Emma Watson, just like many other celebrity women is used as porn models in comics, among them Angelina Jolie, Victoria Beckham, J Lo, and Halle Berry.

They call it ‘spicing up the celebrity’. I say, they are evil jingoistic f&ckers!

Just take a moment to think back to your own teen style. Well, as for me, I can’t look at some of my teenage pics. They’re awful! Especially the one featuring me in that purple dress I put on for my best friend’s birthday. Yuck! Anyway, most teens face similar clothing problems. Teenagehood is the time you start looking for your style, it’s the time you make fashion mistakes and learn the right things about your style preferences. It’s the time of stylish ups and downs.

When it concerns stars, and teen stars in particular, they are short of time for thinking: they need to rush to the red carpet! These teens can feel no shame looking back on their teen style. Let’s check out some under - aged celebrities who can be taken for style icons:

Let’s take Harry Potter cutie Emma Watson. She’s only 17 but it’s obvious she’s got an eye for couture that turned her into a real princess of style.

High School Musical star Vanessa Hudgens, 19, can’t do without super glam gowns.

We must not forget 19-year old superstar Rihanna. She’s young but promising. She’s got a musical ear (thank you Jay-Z for showing her to the world!) and a huge sense of style (I just wonder is it her stylist or her parents I should thank for it?)

Teen heartthrobs The Jonas Brothers never miss. These siblings seem to be able to teach teens a thing or two about fashion. They should have used the chance to teach Mr. George W. Bush as well when visiting the White House.

Queen of the teen scene, Miley Cyrus, 15, loves to play dress-up on the red carpet and already favors some of the world’s top designers.

Chris Brown, 18, likes to mix hip-hop street style and high fashion. Well, he has to be up to the level: Rihanna has a great sense of style.

Country princess Taylor Swift can rock not only at concerts but on the red carpet as well. Her feminine frocks make all girls envy. She’s only 17 but she knows how not to spoil impression. Hope she won’t lose this talent when getting older.

George Clooney, watch out! Here’s a new red carpet king in town! Zac Efron, 20, prefers to wear perfectly tailored suits and stylish ties when posing before cameras and millions of fans sitting and looking at him on the screen. He’s sexy! (Did I say it out loud?)

Emma Roberts, 17, has something to brag about. Julia Roberts is her aunt, Eric Roberts is her dad! But there’s more, this teen actress has an ability to look grown up and elegant being so young. Must confess not many adult actresses have this ability, unfortunately. This makes her a real teen style icon.

Harry Potter star Daniel Radcliffe doesn’t need magic to look great. He’s not afraid to take risks. It might sound funny but he can still look hot wearing a strange leather vest he posed in for Details in June 2007.

There’s another almost-under-aged so-called star I think of. Lindsay Lohan. But on the other hand… don’t think some of her outfits have anything to do with style.
