Cover Girl: Emma Watson Is All Grown Up and Glamorous for GLAMOUR UK!

Despite watching EMMA WATSON for the last ten years as the quick thinking (and talking) Hermione Granger in the beloved wizard franchise “Harry Potter”, it feels like she just grew up out of nowhere! The beautiful British actress has officially hung up her wand and is ready to stretch her acting wings as she takes of the silver screen this fall with the release of “The Perks of Being a Wallflower”, her new movie based off the 1999 novel by Stephen Chbosky.

Emma posed for the October issue of GLAMOUR UK, which was lens by Vincent Peters, and dons a glamorous violet ball gown that slightly hangs off her bare shoulder. Beyond the cover, Emma opened up to the mag about her love life, PERKS and self-confidence and empowerment amongst the young generation of girls.

ON LOVE: “I wish someone had told me at 15, ‘You accept the love that you think you deserve’. “I would have approached my relationships completely differently if they had. I like this idea of quality control — that we don’t have to accept just anyone into our lives.”

ON CONFIDENCE: “It makes me sad to hear girls constantly putting themselves down. We have these unbelievably high expectations of ourselves, when actually we’re human beings and our bodies have a function. We say that the pressure is coming from men, but actually, it’s from each other. I think women feel so much pressure these days and it can turn us against each other. But, we really damage our own confidence when we put ourselves down — so, I try not to.”

I love this profile shot of Emma in deep thought wearing a glamorous short gown by Zac Posen!

Playing in Christian Dior? Who wouldn’t want to!? Emma looks lovely in this Fall/Winter 2012 design.
