14.06.2011- Put a spell on you...

Now that July is just around the corner (where has the year gone??!), one thing I'm really looking forward to is the release of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part Two. I was a little bit disappointed by the last film and thought the story built really slowly to quite an anticlimactic ending, but I put that down to the fact that I'm quite an impatient person in general! To celebrate the series drawing to an end, the July issue of US Vogue features Emma Watson, looking far more fashion forward than Hermione ever has, in an editorial shot by Mario Testino:

Emma Watson's New Day by Mario Testino, US Vogue July 2011.

I love the 20's feel of this shoot and the bold styling, particularly the hair and make-up. It will be interesting to see whether Emma recreates any of these looks on the publicity trail for the film next month- I'm sure she'll have her pick of designers after being named as ELLE's Style Icon back in February.

What do you think of Emma's looks for US Vogue? And are you looking forward to seeing the final Harry Potter film next month?

11.10.2010- Harry Potter and the magical red carpet

Tonight here in London it was the world premiere of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part One. I've already written about how excited I am for the release of the film next Friday, and, judging by the thousands of fans who braved the cold and wet in Leicester Square this evening, I'm not the only one. A lot of pictures are still being posted or are yet to come in, but here's a glimpse of my favourite looks from the red carpet so far:

Emma Watson, looking lovely in head to toe black. The crop is really growing on me.

Clémence Poésy, one of my many style crushes, looking effortlessly chic in navy lace. I also adore her clutch bag!

J.K Rowling in the third lace gown of the evening. Spotting a trend?

Bonnie Wright, keeping things minimal in black. I do love the red lipstick.

Rebecca Ferguson, the only X-Factor contestant who will ever feature on this blog (safe to say I am finding the whole show more than tedious!) I love her voice, her attitude and her style, and here she looks every inch the star. Team Rebecca.

Helena Bonham Carter, in what I think is a Vivienne Westwood gown. I do love her quirky style. 

What do you think of the red carpet looks from tonight's premiere? Any that stand out for you?

03.11.2010- It's a kind of magic...

The penultimate instalment of Harry Potter, The Deathly Hallows: Part One is almost upon us, and it seems I'm not the only one getting excited about it. Emma Watson is the cover star of the December issue of Vogue, showing off her post-Hermione cropped hair and modelling designs by Chanel, Marc Jacobs and Valentino.

Shot by the fabulous Mario Testino, I think the shoot really captures a 1960's feel, which I put that down to the Twiggy-style crop. I can't wait to see what Emma wears to the Harry Potter premieres later on this month, no doubt a bit of Chanel or Burberry will find their way onto the red carpet. I've already booked my tickets to see Harry Potter on the day it comes out, I am literally counting down the days until the release!

What do you think of Emma's Vogue shoot? Will you be buying the issue? And are you as excited about Harry Potter as I am?
