Hermione Granger…Style Star?

Emma Watson has her very own article and slide show on style.com touting her as a beauty icon.  Everyone from popsugar to perez is tipping their hat off to her ”impeccable style”.   

And I can’t help thinking, pshaw you’re all just impressed because you expected to see Hermione Granger on the red carpet, Emma could be in just about anything so long as it isn’t a Hogwart’s cape and you’d love it.

Maybe that’s a little off the mark, but the point is that Emma Watson is a relatively plain faced girl, who may grow to be a beauty, dressing in age inappropriate high fashion looks.  She does deserve respect for not using a stylist, and clearly has a true love for fashion lacking in most young movie-types whose closets consist of  Herve Leger dresses…but does she deserve style/beauty icon status?  Hmmm…no.  For two reasons:  She isn’t a beauty (I mean that in the nicest way I can say it), and apart from her choice of designers, she isn’t that stylish.  What she does seem to be good at is donning a look directly off of a runway, and sticking to the more artistic/innovative set of deisgners when choosing them.

Let’s give her a couple of  years before we immortalize her too quickly.
