From Hogwarts to haute couture: Emma Watson does a banishing spell on Hermione as she tops best-dressed poll


has proved her Hogwarts days are behind her by topping a list of the world's best-dressed women.
The former Harry Potter starlet, 21, who rose to fame as Hermione Granger in the hit film series, confirmed her new status as hot fashion property by knocking Geordie pop icon Cheryl Cole off the top spot.
The list, published this week by Glamour magazine, ranked Miss Cole, 27, in second place.

Twilight actress Kristen Stewart, 21, came in third in the magazine's Best Dressed Women poll.
Miss Cole's fellow X Factor judge, Dannii Minogue, 39, came fourth. She was followed by T4 presenter Alexa Chung, 27; Bajan beauty Rihanna, 23; supermodel Kate Moss, 37; Gossip Girl star Blake Lively, 23; reality TV star Olivia Palermo, 25; and Glee actress Lea Michele, 24.

 
Perhaps predictably, former glamour model, author and reality TV star Katie Price, aka Jordan, was named the worst-dressed woman.

Former Spice Girl-turned-WAG Victoria Beckham dropped seven places to 15th in the best-dressed list, a move that will surely be a blow to her aspirations to be a fashion designer.
But R'n'B diva Beyoncé Knowles suffered the biggest slide in fashion fortunes, slipping from ninth to 36th.
The most notable new entry was Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes's daughter, Suri, who featured for the first time in 21st place - despite being only five years old.
Suri has been spotted in high heels, and has designer clothes from the likes of Burberry to Marc Jacobs. The magazine said that she 'has the most covetable wardrobe in Hollywood'.
Samantha Cameron, the wife of Prime Minister David Cameron, was another new arrival, in at number 19, just a few places ahead of Suri - with Glamour saying she 'seamlessly marries classics with fashion-forward pieces'.
Other newcomers included Mad Men star Christina Hendricks at number 33; Nicole Richie at 25; Kelly Brook at 46; and Carey Mulligan at 20.
The full list, compiled from over 15,000 votes from Glamour.com, appears in June's issue of Glamour magazine out on Thursday.

Miss Watson was rumoured to have signed a six-figure deal to become the face of Lancôme. She followed in the footsteps of Juliette Binoche, Uma Thurman and Julia Roberts in representing the cosmetics brand.
Last month, she was forced to deny rumours she had been bullied out of Brown University, after announcing she was cutting short her studies at the Ivy League U.S. university to concentrate on her acting career.
