Emma Watson's Top 10 Red Carpet Looks of All Time
Ever since Emma Watson's breakout role as the adorable Hermione Granger in the Harry Potter series, the girl has been dominating the Hollywood style scene. While her off-duty style is enviable in its own right, it's those jaw-dropping red carpet looks that have set her apart from the rest of the game, so we took it upon ourselves to whittle down the countless high-style moments to Emma's top 10…ever.
Click through to take it all in, and then tell us—isn't Emma Watson the most perfect person you've ever seen? Just curious.

Now that Emma's become known for her sleek, often monotoned red carpet get-ups, we appreciate this early look even more. Her Rodarte dress is the perfect mix of playful and sophisticated, and that pop of cobalt is truly stunning on freckle-faced Emma.

This was truly a moment for Emma. She wore a gorgeous, glittering, gold Burberry mini to London Fashion Week that made everyone (including us) perk up and take notice. The whole look is equally chic as it is age-appropriate, and that's a tricky combo when you're 19 years old.

We mean. Wow. Emma showed up to the 2013 Met Gala in this stunning black Prabal Gurung gown, and we swear the dropping jaws were heard around the world. A little shoulder, a little midriff, a little leg—this girl is proof a little goes a long way.

This dress was no less show-stopping than the other one worn a few days before at the UK premiere. The Bottega Veneta corset-style top, architectural pinning of the skirt, slick hair, and smoky eyes revealed an Emma Watson who was really starting to make a name for herself as a couture girl.

…and then Hermione grew up. Emma's ensemble for the last HP movie garnered serious buzz because it showed the world that this girl—who was just 11 when the franchise came out in 2001—was all grown up. The flouncy details on the fairytale Oscar de la Renta gown avoid the whole wedding-cake look because of their edgy points and steely color, while the beading on the top says A-list all the way.

We love it when an outfit gives a little nod to the occasion, and Emma's space-age-y all-white look did just that at the Gravity premiere. Her couldn't-be-more-elegant off-the-shoulder J. Mendel mini gets a futuristic nod with metallic cut-out heels. Perfection.

As much as we love when Emma rocks a gown, the It Brit can seriously rock a pair of pants, too. Her Roland Mouret bustier is the coolest version of a peplum we've ever seen, and her flipped-under 'do couldn't be chicer.

This white Ralph Lauren Collection halter-neck dress is the epitome of simple elegance. The thigh-high slit and cut-in detailing keep things interesting and perfectly modern.

Not a lot of girls would do the whole pants-under-a-dress look, but Emma did…and nailed it. While it appears her ensemble is merely a dress from the front (minus the revealing slit), it went apron-style in the back to reveal some black trousers. Risky? Yes. Worth it? Oh yes.

We don’t know how many times we can say we love this look. But we love this look. The lace crop top and skirt, the badass moto jacket, the single earring, the red pump. It’s all just so dreamy.
