Thursday’s Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2 premiere in London was Emma Watson‘s time to shine — and did she ever! After stunning the crazed crowd in Trafalgar Square wearing a dreamy sand-colored Oscar de la Renta creation, the actress slipped into a shimmering Elie Saab Haute Couture cocktail dress, shiny silver shoes and diamond cluster earrings from Chopard for the premiere’s after-party. The starlet was joined at the bash, held at the Old Billingsgate Market, by costars including Helena Bonham Carter, Rupert Grint and her former crush, Tom Felton, plus Hollywood stars like Emma Roberts.

Who Made Fashion Magic at the London ‘Harry Potter’ Premiere?

Emma Watson made quite the entrance at the Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2 premiere Thursday, stunning the excitable London crowd in a dreamy, light-hued Oscar de la Renta creation. But she wasn’t the only star working a little white magic on the red carpet. Costar Clémence Poésy dazzled in a short, bright dress accented with a black belt and peep-toe heels; Bonnie Wright set off her red hair in a peachy white Miu Miu creation; and Evanna Lynch brought the fun factor in a ruffly white mini. Meanwhile, star Helena Bonham Carter and writer J.K. Rowling found themselves sporting similar motifs, too. Rowling went conservative in a flowery green-and-pink gown by Oscar de la Renta, while Carter — always happy to break some fashion rules — appeared in a long green gown with a flowery pink topper. It was definitely a fashion-forward affair, but we want to know what you think! Tell us: Which star looked best at the Potter premiere?

Emma Watson Darkens Her Do

We knew the next installment of Harry Potter would be dark, but we didn’t expect star Emma Watson to go dark, too! The actress — a bright blonde at the MTV Movie Awards just last month — popped up at a promotional event for the final Potter film in London on Wednesday sporting a decidedly darker, almost reddish do. Watson’s hair has undergone quite the transformation in the past year: last August, she chopped her long locks — a sign of emancipation from the Potter franchise — and went from blonde to brunette before declaring that she was growing it out again to earn movie roles. (We can hardly keep up!) But it’s all in good fun for the fashion darling — who recently collaborated with People Tree and Alberta Ferretti and is now the face of Lancôme — who considers style to be her outlet of expression outside of filmmaking. Tell us: What do you think of Watson’s darker locks?

Emma Watson Parties with Lancôme in Paris

Emma Watson‘s gig as the new face of Lancôme is in full swing — and what better way to celebrate than with a chic Parisian party? The Harry Potter star showed off her glam side recently while helping to launch the Lancôme Trésor Midnight Rose fragrance during an evening of beauty and fashion in the City of Light. In the video above, which she posted on her website, Watson is seen sporting a stylish ruffled Azzaro mini and black pumps for the occasion, and posing for photos before taking the stage to talk about why she loves the fragrance. “Midnight Rose is addictive, it’s warm, it’s playful, it’s sweet,” she gushes. “It’s everything I hoped it would be.” –Kim Peiffer

Emma Watson on Making Time for Fashion — and More Movies

Emma Watson in Vogue
Mario Testino for VOGUE

Finding her niche outside of Harry Potter has been Emma Watson‘s most challenging role to date. “I have lived in a complete bubble,” she admits in the July issue of Vogue. “And now I’m desperately trying to find my way through it.” A stint as an Ivy Leaguer, seeking refuge in the arts (“I love it and have a need to do it,” she says of painting) and side projects have helped define her off-screen character. “I was Warner Bros.’ pain in the butt. I was their scheduling conflict,” she says of mandating time for extracurricular fashion projects, including designing three collections for People Tree. “I was doing twelve-hour days on Harry Potter and then coming home to work for two more hours, sizing and cutting designs.” But her time on set inspired her, too; she grew close to makeup head Amanda Knight, and would spend hours experimenting with cosmetics in the makeup trailer. “That was my playground,” she says. “I would sit and play with lipsticks, foundations and eye shadows; and every now and then Amanda would let me do the extras’ face paint for the Quidditch matches.” Perhaps not-so-coincidentally, she’s now the face of Lancôme, too. But despite her busy off-set schedule, Watson is still finding time for new projects. She recently shot My Week with Marilyn and landed the role of Sam in The Perks of Being a Wall Flower. “Sam is such a different girl than who I am,” she says. “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.” –Justine Harman

Emma Watson on the Difficulties of Dressing Age Appropriately — and Stylishly!

Emma Watson's New Lancome Fragrance
Pacific Coast News

Emma Watson might be young, but when it comes to red-carpet fashion, she’s wise beyond her years. “I try to dress age-appropriately, which isn’t actually that easy when obviously high-end clothing is designed for women who are older than I am,” she tells WWD. “It’s a fine line to tread between looking smart and looking ready to go on a red carpet but also looking like I’m 21.” The Lancôme face shows similar maturity in her hands-on approach to developing the brand’s Trésor Midnight Rose fragrance, which she represents. “I was involved in the concept for the [ad] film and the tag line, ‘Catch my heart if you can,’” she says. “I had ideas about every aspect. I’m sure I drove [the crew] insane!” So what’s next on her plate? A continued interest in eco-friendly clothing, a possible green collaboration with Lancôme — and growing out her now-famous cropped do. “I’m excited to try to get it into kind of like a bob!” she says.

Emma Watson: Fashion is My ‘Potter’ Antidote

Emma Watson Harry Potter Style Burberry Lancome People Tree

Emma Watson may be best known for her recurring role in the Harry Potter franchise, but please, don’t call her Hermione. “I’m aware that it’s hard for audiences to separate me from my character,” she admits in the summer issue of New Zealand’s Remix magazine. So to delineate the real Watson from her on-screen counterpart, the 20-year-old is expanding her body of work to include decidedly un-Hogwarts-like projects. “Hopefully by doing things like that people will see a different side of me,” she says of her fashion portfolio, which includes stumping for Burberry, Lâncome and designing for People Tree and Alberta Ferretti. This newfound style initiative, however, isn’t entirely a marketing maneuver. “I love fashion and clothes,” she says, evidence of which can be found in her funky street style. “It’s fun playing around with different sides of your personality.” And no matter how many ad campaigns she does, she is not impervious to insecurities. “It’s been pretty harrowing at times, especially as I am so intensely self-critical,” she admits. “That’s why I banned myself from reading everything about myself on the Internet.” Aha! So we can call you Hermione! To read more about Watson’s fashion metamorphosis, pick up the new issue of Remix, on stands in the U.S. now. –Justine Harman
