Emma Watson: I Am ‘Careful’ with Fashion

Emma Watson: My Style Is Boring

Despite her influential pixie and daring red carpet acumen, Emma Watson doesn’t consider herself glamorous.

“My problem is that I am a little bit boring,” she admits to French Elle. “I don’t wear designer bags or big sunglasses.”

And regardless of access to designer duds, the Harry Potter star’s downtime is underscored by a more casual approach to fashion: “When I don’t have to play Emma Watson in public, I’d rather not put myself out there,” she explains. “I have to be more careful with my look in my everyday life.”

But what about those ubiquitous Lancôme beauty ads? “Someone asked me why I accepted this job, as I wanted to stand in the shadows,” she says. “Actually, I gave up the idea that I could [ever] become anonymous again!”

She made magic in her campaign for Trésor Midnight Rose perfume, but Emma Watson‘s newest ad for Lancôme really turns up the heat. The photo, shot by Mario Testino, touts the brand’s new Rogue in Love lipstick and Vernis in Love nail polish, and will officially appear online beginning in February.

“The idea is to make this young generation — that has been a gloss fan — come back to using lipsticks,” Youcef Nabi, president of Lancôme International, tells WWD. “We worked with Emma on the shade range.”

Short must be the new long! In a summary of 2011′s stellar style, the Wall Street Journal named Emma Watson‘s pixie and Justin Bieber‘s ‘swish’ the most influential haircuts of the year.

“Hairstylists are being inundated with requests,” the paper reports. “The enthusiasm plays out online, where the fastest-rising searches for celebrity haircuts on Google are for Ms. Watson and Mr. Bieber.”

According to the Journal, these looks mark a pretty significant change for hairstyle popularity, since for women, “short hair hasn’t been trendy since the ’90s,” and because men “may justifiably feel sheepish about asking for the cut.” (Tell that to the Biebs!)

She’s done it again! The Duchess of Cambridge landed atop the U.K. Harper’s Bazaar best-dressed list today, just three months after earning a spot on Vanity Fair‘s list of style stars. The latest honor was bestowed by a panel that included designers Antonio Berardi and Roksanda Ilincic (a Kate favorite), milliner Philip Treacy and Bazaar editors Kim Hersov and Lucy Yeomans.

“Catherine’s incredible style evolution has gripped us all,” Yeomans explains on harpersbazaar.com.uk. “She gave us the year’s — if not the century’s — most thrilling fashion moment at the royal wedding, and is shaping up as an amazing ambassador for British designers and the high street.”

Singer Florence Welch of Florence + the Machine landed in second place — “She’s fairytale,” writes Ilincic — followed by British stars including Kate Moss, Keira Knightley, Emma Watson, Alexa Chung and Stella McCartney. All in all, 20 women were included on the list.

After countless premieres and red-carpet appearances, Emma Watson has finally found the beauty routine that works for her. Crediting her pixie cut with what she calls a more “experimental” relationship with makeup, the 21-year-old tells Stylelist, “There’s no way to hide when you have short hair. You really have to go for it.”

The secret to her trademark look, which includes flawless skin, bold brows and a pinch of glamour, is an arsenal of reliable beauty tools. “I’m a creature of habit,” she tells Style.com of $45 Giorgio Armani “Beauty Luminous” silk powder (bottom right). “I like to find what works and keep buying it.” She also brightens up with bronzer or blush, like Yves Saint Laurent’s $38 Crème de Blush (top left) because, as Watson puts it, “I am so pale and English.”

Emma Watson, Claudia Schiffer Share Their Understated Style Obsessions

Emma Watson and Claudia Schiffer Harry Crowder for Harper’s Bazaar

As fashion icons, Emma Watson and Claudia Schiffer have access to all the lavish jewelry and couture clothing they could ever want. But not surprisingly, the subtle stars both think less is more.

“Jean Cocteau said, ‘Style is a very simple way of saying complicated things,’” Watson muses in the October issue of Harper’s Bazaar. So the Lancôme beauty goes for a simple fashion trademark: “If I get it right, a kind of drama whilst looking understated. If I get it right!”

You won’t find Watson dripping in diamonds and extravagant handbags most of the time, either; the actress still carries an “old-school” satchel and claims lipstick as her favorite accessory. “I don’t like to accessorize too much because I want people to see me first and my clothes second,” she explains.
