Emma Watson's Style Evolution From 'Harry Potter' Geek Chic To International Couture Darling
Call it a work of sartorial magic, or what you will. Emma Watson's style transformation is nothing short of spellbinding. The once perpetually t-shirt and camo-clad star seemingly transformed overnight into Hollywood's chicest It girl, who also happened to be an average college student and former child star.
