If her last magazine cover didn’t have you convinced, this one certainly will: Emma Watson is officially all grown up.

Not that that’s ever been the ultimate goal, she shares in the June/July issue of W magazine — and we’ve got the exclusive first look.

“I’ve never wanted to grow up too fast. I wanted to wear a sports bra until I was 22!” she says. “The allure of being sexy never really held any excitement for me. I’ve never been in a terrible rush to be seen as a woman.”

But after years of playing schoolgirl Hermione Granger, Watson was ready for a change — so she cut her hair and took darker roles like that of Nicki, a celeb-burgling teen in the upcoming The Bling Ring. And she quickly went from plaid skirts to a very different kind of on-set wardrobe.

“Who wouldn’t love to go to work in Uggs and very low-slung tracksuit bottoms?” the star says of Nicki’s Paris Hilton-chic attire. “At one point I told the costumer designer, ‘You can see my bra strap in this top; shouldn’t we pin it?’ And she said, ‘No, sweetie — Nicki is all about her bra strap showing.’ I was like, Right, okay, different mind-set.”

Nicole Kidman may be serving on the Cannes jury, but a day and a half into the French film festival, we’ve already delivered our verdict on her style: She’s guilty of looking awesome.

In her first three looks at Cannes, she’s knocked it out of the sartorial park — and set a high bar for all other Cannes-going starlets to reach.

First up, for a juror cocktail party, she wore a head-to-toe Dior look that epitomizes what every girl hopes she looks like in her LBD — from the perfect fit of the sequin sheath to the sassy-yet-classy heels and clutch and the subtle sparkle of her Cathy Waterman hoops.

We’ve already got Allison Williams skin envy, style envy and job envy.

And after spotting her at the Robin Hood Foundation Gala in N.Y.C., we added hair and makeup envy to our list as well.

But while we can’t get her access to Naeem Khan and Oscar de la Renta dresses, we can copy her pitch-perfect hair and makeup look, thanks to tips from her pros.

First up, her hair, done by Benoit Moeyaert at N.Y.C.’s Marie Robinson salon. After combing Phyto mousse through her wet hair for texture, Moeyart blew her hair out with a round brush.

“While it was still warm, I rolled sections around two fingers (about an inch wide and an inch-and-a-half high) and pinned them with clips,” he tells PEOPLE. After letting her hair cool in those “pin curls,” he shook the hair out and brushed it all out, then curled it again by using a curling iron in alternating directions.

Daniel Jackson for Harper’s Bazaar

Christy Turlington is one of the names that comes immediately to mind when you hear the word “supermodel,” but the star’s modeling gigs are few and far between these days — and that’s just how she likes it.

“Now I feel like it’s a treat again,” Turlington says in her June Harper’s Bazaar cover story, “because I do it so seldom. I can appreciate it in a new way.”

She also dishes on her teenage years at the height of her modeling career (no insecurity there, if you can believe it) and how much fun she had partying with names like François Nars and Steven Meisel. But now that’s she’s settled down (with actor Ed Burns and their two children), she looks back on that time fondly.

The model also laughs at Kate Moss’s very unique senses of humor (Moss teased her publicly for wearing a twinset recently) and cringes at the thought of getting back into underwear for her new campaign for Calvin Klein.

Couldn’t get enough of Selena Gomez‘s InStyle cover story last week?

Then you’ve got to check out this behind-the-scenes video from the shoot, where Gomez explains why she gets into wild outfits for her magazine photoshoots and dishes on her red carpet inspirations.

She also confesses that she tends to save all her pennies for gorgeous shoes and handbags, leaving her with “like $20″ to spend on her clothing. A girl after our own heart.
