Shopping for Emma Watson!

Saturday, August 7, 2010
Ciao! The Harry Potter starlet may be putting aside those Burberry sequined minis for Psych 102, but she'll surely give Ivy League prep new life.

A British Rose with a cult following more akin to a male action star than a petite and pretty 20-year old, Emma Watson is our girl of the week to shop for. A red carpet stunner with a preternaturally mature take on style, Watson isn't afraid to don a cutting edge designer or two – think Rodarte and Proenza Schouler, putting those celebs who think skin tight and uber short is the only way to roll to shame.

Although the final installment of Harry Potter is debuting this fall, Hermione's alter ego has another important milestone to look forward to first: entering year two of her Ivy League education (how Natalie Portman of her!). We trust the face of Burberry will have her premiere ensembles styled and ready to go, so we've opted to compile cute yet causal pieces that are perfect for a New England autumn and the hallowed halls of Brown University instead.

Consider it back to school for a rising star willing to take chances – have you peeped that new Rosemary's Baby inspired cut? We think she's pretty enough to pull it off, but will Christopher Bailey approve?
