Ok, I’m obviously late on writing up about Emma Watson and her shocking act of chopping off all of her locks. Mainly because I have found myself a little undecided upon the new ‘do.
I was never a Harry Potter kid. I didn’t read the books and wasn’t too bothered about rushing to the cinema when they released the films. To add to this I’m not really the biggest Miss Watson fan. The fizzy haired, loser who followed Harry & Co around a magical wonderland became a style icon overnight. This is an achievement, granted. But with all of her childhood spent acting her way to millions, it’s fair to say Em can afford a stylist to pick out some red carpets hits.
My opinion was slightly swayed by the Autumn/Winter 09 Burberry Trench campaign, which evolved Watson from the cinematic Miss Granger into a spellbinding real life fashion girl. Her work with Burberry is beautiful and in turn far, far away from her Harry Potter claim to fame.
So as her work at Hogwarts is coming to an end, she can finally pack away her wand and wizardry books. I think the ‘new crop’ is Emma being a normal, fashion forward 20 year old trying something new.
My verdict … I like it. The super short style suits her petite frame perfectly and makes her eyes brim with loveliness
So expect plenty of ‘how to get the new crop’ articles in your next glossy. With Emma pictured along side fellow pixie crop lovers including Ginnifer Goodwin, Michelle Williams and Carey Mulligan, obviously.
