Emma Watson, god love her, seems as smart and grounded as child actors come.
So it pains me that I have to call B.S. on the Harry Potter star’s whole “I don’t know how to be sexy” schtick she furthered in yesterday’s Sunday Telegraph:
“I find this whole thing about being 18 and everyone expecting me to be this object…I find the whole concept of being ’sexy’ embarrassing and confusing.
“If I do a photo-shoot people desperately want to change me — dye my hair blonder, pluck my eyebrows, give me a fringe.
“Then there’s the choice of clothes. I know everyone wants a picture of me in a mini-skirt. But that’s not me. I feel uncomfortable. I’d never go out in a mini-skirt. It’s nothing to do with protecting the Hermione image. I wouldn’t do that.
“Personally, I don’t actually think it’s even that sexy. What’s sexy about saying, ‘I’m here with my boobs out and a short skirt…have a look at everything I’ve got’? My idea of sexy is that less is more. The less you reveal the more people can wonder.”
Accompanying the interview was the photo at right. Great, that was easy.

Although in her defense I find nothing about that picture sexy.
“My idea of sexy is that less is more.” Yeah me too.
Yea, I’m not seeing any “sexy” here.
I’m slightly more disturbed than anything else, but that’s mostly because I see her as 12 and not 18.
I’m going to steal JRod’s phrase, “I would so hit that!!!!!!!!!”
And Stan is correct, the photo’s not that sexy.
Have to concur with the other posts – not sexy. It looks like the stylists were going for Fosse-esque but Emma isn’t quite sure what to do here. Not surprising, since Fosse probably died before she was born, poor chicken.
I think she looks very sexy! Call me Emm- wait she’s 18 right??- *phew* Call me Emma! Don’t listen to these big meanies!
That photo is a Bob Fosse reference, so Emma is actually rather overdressed.
She does have the “less” down. She’s barely there. Let’s get some meat* on them bones.
*this word not approved by PeTA
Naah — She never dresses provocatively. No short skirts hiked up around the waist for our Miss Hermione, nosiree Bob.
Definitely a puritan, that one.
yeah no.. nothing about that picture says “sexy” to me either lol
I’m not sure how I feel about this one. On one hand, the pictures show that she is definitely dressing the way she claims she hates and makes her feel uncomfortable, which should mean that Emma would do best in shutting the hell up. On the other hand, you have to wonder if she is obligated to wear certain outfits for photo shoots and other outings.
I wear heels with certain outfits, but I hate heels, don’t think they are sexy, and actually find them quite painful.
Yikes! Is that a moontan she has going on? Too young for me. Lol..I may just be a giant hermit, cause I didn’t know who that was.
You all know any guy here that say she’s not sexy in the lead picture are simply lying. It’s not like a “bikini” sexy, but definitely a great example of feminine beauty. Some girls/women just don’t get it, that they can be attractive wearing a wrinkled plaid shirt and frumpy blue jeans. Guys are attracted primarily by what they see, and they see what they want to, while the female gender looks for guys who can give them physical and financial security first, then they’ll start thinking looks, and will they make good-looking offspring – unless of course their hormones are raging, then they’re pretty much like guys.
But in her defense if the photo turns out bad that is the fault of the Photgrapher. Most good photgraphers can take a cow and make it look sexy with the right lighting and posing. The person who took that shot is not getting anything from Emma.
On a side note, didn’t she state she was going to do a nude scene when she hit 18 like Daniel?
Well the picture in Holly Won’t’s bit is not that sexy. She frankly looks really bored and tired. She’s not pouting, spreading her legs open, trying to be sultry – it’s more like a “so you want me to hold this hat?…like this?” vibe I get from it.
And the picture “TheEyeSeesAll” looks like her dress (that’s a dress, look how much material is clumping around her thighs) rode up on her while she was sitting (this is a natural occurrence to ladies, yes/no?).
Some pervy photographer took a shot at an unfortunate time.
I usually agree with you Holly Won’t but this time it seems you’re grasping at straws.
Les, when I first started dating my husband he was a struggling musician and waited tables to pay the bills. So I guess my hormones were raging. Or something.
Not Cool Swede0319, She is 18 and she is MINE! I’d hit it!
Jinx MC MOm!
Your comment musta been in queue while I was dithering between Fossesque or Fosse-esque.
They both looked clunky so I rephrased.
P.S. I like lot’sa ice in my Coke.
Yeah, I sort of feel that the pics of her getting out of the car are not really a fair appraisal of her trying to be sexy. If you follow the link, that skirt is relatively short, but certainly not what I’d call mini and it does indeed look like it rode up in the car as she was getting out, which is, indeed, not an uncommon occurence…Holly, I’m also goignto vote that you are grasping at straws with this one…
The first picture looks like she’s posing for a “Fosse Tonite!” revue publicity shot, not an attempt to be a sexpot. The other picture is a paparazzi shot of her getting out of a car. For those of you who don’t wear skirts very often, they have a tendency to hike up when you’re getting in and out of a car. Give Emma a pass on this one.
you shad be nakid
Minnow and Strawberry, what’s with our obsession with Fosse anyway? And Minnow, I know ‘Fosse-esque’ looks terrible, but I couldn’t help myself.
“…what’s with our obsession with Fosse anyway?”
Jazz hands.
I flash mine several times a day.
The car picture isn’t fair at all. It’s awkward to get out of a car in a skirt. It’s got to be even more awkward when there are people standing outside of said car, taking pictures. For a while, Lindsay and Britney and some of these attention seeking whores were taking advantage of this awkwardness to show off their panty-less bear traps, but I don’t think this is what Emma was going for here. She’s not even looking at the camera, and she is wearing panties.
unfortunately what she,s saying at last definitely is true
When I saw Emma in the first movie, I said that ’she’ll grow up to be a fox’. She did. Her problem is that she’s sexy without even trying. I’d hit it. And twice on Sunday.
Well, as the resident prude, I’d be like, “wear a skirt long enough that doesn’t expose your undies when you’re squiggling out of a car.” I mean, that’s what I do . . . when I wear skirts . . . which I hate . . . because they’re so dang awkward.
Emma Watson: “I’m not a sex symbol.”
95% of the entire world: “Not gonna argue.”
LOL, Habanada, when I had a Mazda MX-3, getting out of a car in a short skirt was difficult. It took some time to master it without flashing the world, but it can be done. I wear long skirts only when they are cut just right because I am so short that a lot of things that go below the knee make me look like a Munchkin.
Why does she remind me of Elisabeth Shue?
Minnow:
“…what’s with our obsession with Fosse anyway?”
OK, jazz hands and bowler hats on my part.
And don’t forget sittin’ backwards on a cane chair with your hoo-ha smiling out at the world.
Hee! “Smilin’ Hooha” was the title of my first album. Went gold in Luxembourg.
I don’t think it is her fault. We will call it the stupit work of camera man
I’ve been meaning to ask this for awhile: WHAT is that hanging from her neck in that second photo above? Did she narrowly escape an attack by a pay phone, or something?
She was snagged by Karl Lagerfeld who decided that she would be the next face of Chanel. As far as Krazy Karl is concerned, he IS Chanel. He is so frightening and creepy (and an asshole, who once said “I make clothes for slender women” when H&M had the gall to make his guest designs in large sizes) that I wouldn’t be surprised to hear that he cornered her at a party, hit her with a riding crop, and talked her into a Chanel contract. (Allegedly, of course. This is all an educated guess.) She’s also stuck in the hell of every child actor, meaning she has to figure out a way to grow up with the world’s cameras pointed at her and everyone hissing that she’s either too sexy or too juvenile (and the pervy types slobbering over her, some of whom did so before she was even legal).
Photographers and people like Karl Lagerfeld can be real bullies. I’m certainly not her, and God knows I know very little if anything about her, but bear with me as I imagine what her life must be like right now: it’s hard to say no to a chance to look more like an adult for the world that onlys knows you as a kid, especially if it’s a plum contract with an extremely prestigious company; on the other hand, I know it would probably piss me off if people took pictures of my crotch and posted them on the Internet (stepping up or down out of a car in even a semi-tight skirt is a bitch, and I’ve done it for years with plenty of accidental flashings along the way– thank God for underwear), and I’m so glad I don’t make a living off of being shoehorned into strange outfits and told to pose for people who then debate if I’m ****able or not.
hi….i have seen other pics on her whole naked so…
