The Making of A British Fashion Icon

Emma Watson has come a long way from her days as Hermione in Harry Potter. The English actress turned 23 on April 15, and is now one of the hottest fashion icons in 2014. 

Since Harry Potter she has presented an Oscar with Joseph Gordon – Levitt, been the face of Vogue and made appearances on the red carpet for over 13 years. In 2009, she was named the face of Burberry—which was a first for the British heritage label's and wore many of the well known Christopher Bailey designs including the famously photographed gold mini dress at the house's runway show during London Fashion Week.

In 2011 she was on the front cover of Vogue, embracing the latest trend at the time, pixie cut cropped short hair and a metallic silver fitted trim dress.

In addition, she is an avid painter, which goes some way to explain her creativity and mix of clothes and accessories when it come to style. Once of her favourite pieces of art is The Farm, a painting, once owned by Ernest Hemingway who brought the artist Miró, his first taste of success outside of Spain.

In 2013 she was on the pulled of the height of hot jewellery fashion with her ear cuff look at the Cannes Film Festival where Emma Watson appeared on the red carpet in a diamond encrusted ear cuff by Repossi and we at Lolo and Galago, loved this trend.

Finally, earlier this year, Emma Watson took to the red carpet in her latest movie Noah where the premier in London was held at the Odeon Leicester Square. People came out to see her, not only to sneak a glance but also to see what style of dress she was wearing. As a leader of fashion, she wore a stunning Ralph Lauren, one-of-a-kind white silk-cady column halter gown, which featured a pleated silk-georgette panel at the hip. White is one of the hottest colours on the runway this year and she complimented it with a tangy tangerine lipstick, Jimmy Choo clutch and Anito Ko  Floating earrings and Jennifer Fisher cuffs.

April - What’s Hot and What’s Not!

This April kicks off and Spring is in the air! We take a look at the latest  jewellery styles on the red carpet. The hottest tickets in town were to the premiere of Noah with Russel Crowe and Hugh Jackman was spotted supporting his friend, but it was the  leading ladies Emma Watson and  Jennifer Connelly who made a red carpet entrance.  

Emma Watson is some of the hottest property in show biz and and been killing it on the red carpet, in terms of beauty and style. She showcased the latest Revlon tangerine lipstick, the ‘ must have’ colour in 2014 and effortlessly carried off a stunning diamante ear piece, one of the top trends at the moment. Jennifer Connelly, the leading lady also made headlines with her performance and wore a ‘ Wings of Protection’ earring which complimented her sequin and bead embroided dress by the iconic designer  Alexander Mc Queen.

Socks and Sandals? Now if anyone ever told us socks and sandals go together, we would query their judgement or just not believe them. However – let us be the first to tell you, this is what is striding down the runways – heels, flats and all.

Once considered a fashion faux pas...socks and sandals is a trend that designers and celebrities alike are embracing on the runway. We are still yet to be convinced it will hit the high street but time will tell. This season designers rocked headlines  when collections from  Band of Outsiders, Creatures of Comfort, Vivienne Tam, and Louise Goldin strutted their socks and showcased the socks meets fashion style even  Hermes and Alberta Ferretti showed the pairing for Fall 2014 Fashion. I think I would go more for charming the socks off someone..and keep the Jimmy Choos.
