Dazzling: Emma Watson smoulders on the front cover of U.S. Vogue


Harry Potter actress Emma Watson has cast her magic once again and looks bewitching as a cover girl on the front of U.S. Vogue.

The 21-year-old star look spellbinding as she flirts with the camera showing off her pixie haircut and blood red lipstick.

With the Hogwarts franchise now behind her, the homegrown talent talks about life after broomsticks and growing up in the spotlight.

In the interview, the Brit beauty reminisced about sharing relationship advice with co-star Daniel Radcliffe, saying: 'We would help each other compose texts to our most recent flames.'

The English rose enjoyed a brief fling with One Night Only frontman George Craig, but has complained that her fame often interferes with her love life as men don't approach her.

Emma also said she struggles to live a normal life, hailing rock legend Patti Smith as her inspiration.


Striking: Watson is looking forward to life outside the Harry Potter bubble


Speaking of Patti's 2010 memoir Just Kids, Emma said: 'I want to live like Patti. I want to write like Patti.

'The book was so honest and brave. I loved the way she sees the world.

'I really felt that life was more beautiful after I read it and I felt more hopeful.'

Emma said that playing the role of Hermione was easy, as she is similar to the fictional character.


Single and ready to mingle: Although no short of male attention, Watson laments her generation's style of romance


'Hermione is so close to who I am as a person that I've never really had to research a role.

'I'm literally rediscovering what it means to be an actress.'

She added: 'I have felt for the last 10 years I have had this battle; I've been fighting so hard to have an education.

'It's been this uphill struggle. I was Warner Bros' pain in the butt. I was their scheduling conflict.

'I was the one who made life difficult.'



New look: Watson's dramatic make-up is a world away from her Harry Potter persona of Hermione


But despite her quest for a 'normal life', Emma announced she was leaving Brown University in March to defer her course for 'a semester or two' while she helps promote the release of the second Deathly Hallows film.

She is expected to return in the next academic year this autumn.

Looking lean! Emma Watson shows off her toned midriff in stomach-baring crop top as she hits the gym

By SARAH BULL

Toned: Emma Watson showed off her flat stomach in a pink crop top and low-slung leggings as she hit the gym in Pittsburgh yesterday


As Hermione Granger in Harry Potter, Emma Watson rarely has an occasion to show off her figure.

But, clearly proud of her toned physique, the 21-year-old actress decided to wear a pink sports bra and very low-slung leggings to display her toned midriff as she hit the gym.

Emma teamed her exercise clothes with a grey jumper tied around her waist and a headband to keep her hair out of her eyes.


Athletic: Emma, who is in Pittsburgh to film her new movie, has been keeping busy with regular trips to the gym


And as well as staying healthy physically, Emma also seemed to be keen to remain emotionally sound, and was spotted carrying a copy of the self-help book A 3rd Helping of Chicken Soup for the Soul as she left the gym after her workout.

Emma has clearly been working hard on her physique, with not an inch of fat to be seen on her lean figure as she headed back to her temporary home in Pittsburgh yesterday.

However, talking about her figure recently, Emma said staying slim isn't something she constantly worries about - she is more concerned about staying healthy.


Book worm: Emma was reading A 3rd Helping of Chicken Soup for the Soul


In a recent inerview, Emma said: 'It's just not something that I aspire to, to be super-skinny. It's not inspirational at all for me.

'I'm lucky that I'm this size naturally. I don't diet...I love chocolate and pasta and I love baking. I make a great raspberry amaretto cake!

'There is so much pressure on girls our age to be smart and pretty and funny and skinny - they have to be everything.

'I definitely know what that pressure is like, but my philosophy is to eat what you like and be healthy and exercise.'

Slow down Emma, you’re only 21!

By DAILY MAIL REPORTER

Not so magic: Emma Watson, who turned 21 today, looked a bit old before her time in her birthday message to her fans on her official website


She might have millions in the bank and a bright future ahead of her - but fashionista Emma Watson missed the sartorial mark when she sent a birthday video message to her fans today to celebrate her 21st.

The Harry Potter star looked somewhat frumpy and dowdy with a rather bouffanty version of her short crop that looked a bit too middle-aged for her elfin features.

Her overall look wasn't helped by a rather nondescript black v-necked top and necklace in the arty-looking black and white clip.


Fashionista: Emma also confirmed her role today as an 'ambassadress' for French beauty brand Lancome


Posting on her official website, Emma also revealed that she had just been named as a new face of make-up brand Lancome.

She said: 'Just a quick message to say thank you for all the Birthday wishes and gifts you’ve sent. I’m continually overwhelmed by the support from you all. It means so much to me, so thank you very much.

'Turning 21 is a significant occasion for everyone, and it’s proved to be quite a milestone...this year I plan to continue pursuing my love of fashion, working as an ambassadress for Lancôme.'


Usual style: The glam Harry Potter actress as she usually looks at the Elle Style Awards in February


In her video meanwhile, Emma revealed she had also been hard at work learning an American accent for her forthcoming new movie Perks Of Being A Wallflower.

She gushed: 'You guys are absolutely amazing. So yeah, it's turning out to be quite a big year in a way and I just want to say so much for all of your continuing support.

'You've been absolutely amazing and a real comfort and I'm very grateful to you all. Yeah, I'm 21! Crazy, crazy! Thank you so much!'

In a press announcement released yesterday, French beauty house Lancome said: 'Thanks to her charm, romanticism and her incredible modernity, Emma Watson has become the icon of her generation.

Meanwhile, Emma has also spoken about the forthcoming Royal Wedding, saying she feels sorry for Kate Middleton.

She claims she understands the amount of 'pressure' that Prince William's bride-to-be is under, having just taken a year out of her study at the prestigious Brown University on Rhode Island due to the stress she was under trying to juggle public and private life.

Speaking to the Associated Press, Watson says she sympathises with Middleton's hectic build up to the wedding, saying, 'Poor girl. That must be an incredible amount of pressure. I hope she's enjoying it. Must be intense.'

Kate is set to marry Prince William on April 29.

Emma Watson goes for androgynous chic in blazer and shorts on Lancôme shoot in Paris... but she can't hide her healthy curves

By Simon Cable and Georgina Littlejohn


Androgynous chic: Emma Watson looked stunning in a pair of white lace shorts, shirt, tie, blazer and bowler hat as she shot the new Lancome advert in Paris


She certainly doesn’t conform to the stereotype of the emaciated catwalk model.

Indeed, Emma Watson appears to have much more in common with the curvier actresses who have preceded her in her latest modelling campaign.

The 20-year-old Harry Potter star, who has been signed up as the face of cosmetics company Lancome, was seen filming scenes for a new advert in Paris.

Leggy lady: Emma showed off her healthy curves in the advert as she shot with Mario Testino


And her healthy figure echoes that of the screen stars including Kate Winslet, Penelope Cruz and Isabella Rossellini, all of whom have fronted advertising campaigns for the French beauty brand in the past.

Watson slipped into a pair of white lace shorts, peach blazer, tie and bowler hat with nude court shoes for the upcoming campaign, which is being shot by photographer Mario Testino.

It is unclear whether the campaign was for the brand’s make-up or perfume, but with a huge legion of fans it is bound to fly off the shelves when released.

The night before, Watson was seen wearing a strapless peach chiffon dress, which she teamed with a black biker jacket and towering peep-toed shoe boots on the shoot.

Her short hair was slicked back as she strolled through the romantically-lit streets.

Emma, who has previously fronted campaigns for Burberry, has been leaving cryptic clues for her fans that she had been signed by Lancôme on her Twitter page all week.

Last Friday she first tweeted: 'A new venture is starting - what can it be? Follow my clues and you will see...'

This was followed with: 'I'll pierce your skin if you hold me wrong but I'll love you forever if you pass me on,' which referred to Lancôme's logo - a rose.

Watson, who is most famous for her role as Hermione Granger in the Harry Potter films, has worked with Testino, 56, before on fashion shoots for Burberry and Vogue.

Last week the star announced that she was postponing her studies at Brown University in the U.S. to re-focus on her career.

The actress was less than two years into a degree in women’s history and drama at the prestigious Rhode Island university. However, she told fans that juggling the two had become ‘a little impossible’.

She was regularly forced to fly back and forth between London and the U.S. while the final two Harry Potter films were being made as well as undertaking regular fashion shoots in the UK.

She is also currently shooting her upcoming film, My Week With Marilyn, in London alongside Kenneth Branagh and is also about to begin a heavy promotion schedule for the final Harry Potter film, The Deathly Hallows, part two, which is released this summer.

She then alluded to the accent above the 'o' in the cosmetic brand's name and wrote: 'It's a beauty house that wears a hat. French? Very, but this is no beret.'

Then all was finally revealed yesterday when she declared: 'It starts with an L and ends with an E. I’m sure you have guessed the new face of Lancôme is me! :-).'

In a statement released today, company president Youcef Nabi said: 'Thanks to her charm, romanticism and her incredible modernity, Emma Watson has become the icon of her generation.

Emma Watson announces she is taking time off from university to focus on acting and fashion

By ANDREA MAGRATH

Skipping class: Emma Watson, pictured arriving at Heathrow last week, has announced she is taking time off from Brown university


She became a household name playing extraordinarily intelligent bookworm Hermione Granger in the Harry Potter franchise.

But Emma Watson has made a decision that her alter ego would certainly not approve of - she is postponing her studies at Brown university to focus on her career.

The 20-year-old star made the announcement on her website today, telling fans that juggling the two has become 'a little impossible'.


Too much to handle: Emma said in a statement on her website that juggling her classes at Brown, in Rhode Island, and other projects became 'a little impossible'


She wrote: 'I've decided to take a bit of time off to completely finish my work on Harry Potter (the last one comes out this summer) and to focus on my other professional and acting projects.

'I will still be working towards my degree... it’s just going to take me a semester or two longer than I thought.

'As you know, I love Brown and I love studying pretty much more than anything but recently I've had so much to juggle that being a student AND fulfilling my other commitments has become a little impossible.'


Swapping classes for the cameras: The 20-year-old will be busy promoting the final Harry Potter film over the summer


Emma jetted back into Heathrow from the U.S. last week, and was also in London throughout the BAFTA party season last month.

Brown university is currently in the middle of their semester, which runs from January 26 to May 29, with a spring recess later this month.

Emma's London spokesperson declined to elaborate on whether the actress has already pulled out of classes or if the break will commence after this semester wraps up.
However judging by her current jetsetting, the former is more likely.


Fashion career: Emma recently released her most recent People Tree collection, and she just announced a collaboration with designer Alberta Ferretti


Emma is busy working on a number of fashion projects before she turns her attention to the Harry Potter promotion trail in the summer.

Last week she announced a new collaboration with designer Alberta Ferretti.

The line, called Pure Threads by Emma Watson Alberta Ferretti, is eco-friendly, like her People Tree collections.

The Italian designer revealed why she chose the gamine star to join forces with. 'She’s an actress I’ve followed since her early days,' she told Women's Wear Daily.


Studious: The actress became a household name playing bookworm Hermione Granger in the Harry Potter series


'I like her freshness, her spontaneity and simplicity.'

Miss Watson added: 'I believe this is a big step forward for all of the international fashion industry, but also an important step for an increased sensitivity to the problem of ecology.'

Emma Watson launches her final collection for People Tree by squeezing into some fairtrade denim hotpants

By JESSICA SATHERLEY

Ethical fashion: Emma models her third and final collection for fairtrade label People Tree, which hits stores on February 28 to coincide with Fairtrade Fortnight


Style icon Emma Watson has continued to take a stand for ethical fashion by slipping on some fairtrade denim hotpants to launch her third and final collection with People Tree.

The Harry Potter actress has been vocal about her stance on fairtrade clothing for years, which she exhibits by modelling her latest spring/summer collection for the brand.

The 20-year-old not only models and designs for the company, but she also travelled to Bangladesh to see the collection being made by the locals.

Emma said: ‘The design process continued with me trying on each and every piece to get the fits just as I wanted them, and then I visited Bangladesh to see the clothing actually being made and meet the people making it.

‘It was an incredible and life-changing experience. I wish everyone had the chance to see the difference Fairtrade makes.’

Watson’s full spring/summer collaboration with People Tree is being launched to coincide with Fairtrade Fortnight, which starts February 28.

In the photoshoot Emma teamed up her ethical Daisy Dukes with a beige cotton waistcoat and scarf as she posed in a summer field.

Speaking out: Emma says of her trip: 'It was an incredible and life-changing experience. I wish everyone had the chance to see the difference Fairtrade makes'


The collection also boasts her long-sleeved mini-dress, which she showed off next to an old fashioned motorbike.

And Emma also showed off her dresses for the brand, with the range that includes fabrics printed with checks, polka dots and floral designs.

She designed the collection last year while attending university and said: ‘People Tree’s founder, and Misato, People Tree’s designer, came out to work with me in Rhode Island.


Lounging around: Emma posed with her fellow models in the photoshoot for People Tree, after having helped design the collection with the label


‘Together we decided on all the colours, fabrics, shapes and craft skills. Most of all, we took care to design a really wearable collection that truly celebrates the traditional skills of People Tree’s Fairtrade groups around the world.’

Fairtrade Fortnight runs from February 28 to March 13 and was created by the Fairtrade Foundation to invite designers to produce scarves using fairtrade cotton.

Designers who have joined the Collective include Marios Schwab and Hussein Chalayan for Puma, Julie Verhoeven, Tim Soar, David David and Ada Zanditon.



Punk inspired: Emma said she wanted to make the collection very 'wearable' as well as being ethically friendly, so designed a range of dresses while attending university
