As Burberry snaps up the pretty Harry Potter actress, is Emma Watson the new Kate Moss?


While Kate Moss and Peaches Geldof continue to make headlines every time they unveil an outrageous look, a new British style icon has been gracefully emerging.
When  first appeared as Hermione Granger in Harry Potter, at the age of nine, she was a photogenic schoolgirl.
Ten years later, she's undergone a metamorphosis and for the past few years has been quietly building a modelling portfolio that's beginning to rival her acting career.

In 2008 Chanel appointed her the face of their perfume Coco Mademoiselle, replacing Keira Knightley.
Since then, the fashion house's supremo Karl Lagerfeld has become her new best friend.

Last month, he photographed her for an edgy French magazine.

 
'This was a dream come true,' she said. (And that's the other thing about Emma: you won't find her being less than gracious, a welcome contrast to mouthy types such as Lily Allen.)

Emma's latest coup is the lucrative Burberry campaign. With smoky eyes and softly tousled hair (right), she adds a touch of sultry elegance to the British label's signature trench coat.
Here's hoping she inspires the next generation of teenagers to turn away from tacky tattoos and jeggings. Well, we can dream, can't we?
