Emma Watson also had some major moments this year, which isn't surprising given she has been breaking style barriers since she hit the public scene as a kid. These three looks were the ones we just COULD NOT get over this year (and probably go down as our all time favourites ever. Yep. Went there).

How in the world did Kristen Stewart get number 1?
I don't know how Emma even made the list! Her style is so darn boring! Only dark gloomy colors.
Well, Kristen does not always seem well groomed. Emma looks fresh and always elegant. I find her style mature and classic not poppy. I like that.
She might be getting problems with acting roles with such an obsession on women's rights. Show Biz pay is according to talent, if the public likes you as an actor. To be an A-lister with the top pay is a question of high achievement not because someone feels that they should be paid like men.
She says that she wants to be a Renaissance woman, but so far from the trio Radcliffe have proved to be Renaissance men with West End and Broadway plays and Ruper now getting ready to act as producer for Silvio Horta's comic book TV show that has already been put by NBC and Warner Brothers.
Where is the Renaissance Woman that wants to do all those things?
Yeah, she gots to be careful that she isn't seen by directors and producers as a pain in the A-.
Now if she would strive for equal pay for women for it is really necessary, but in acting where people earn in the thousands and even millions if one is really good. I can't respect that and find it superficial. Emma, direct or produce something, then one can see if you have the stuff you dream of.
I like Emma very much, but this feminism pull in the cinema world - the world of the shameful rich anyway - is too much to bear.
Emma paints, writes, sings, dances, and she is supposed to be an executive producer with Heyman in the movies based on Queen of Tearling, is an ambassador of the UN, has a degree from an Ivy League.
And please, according to some of you she should be submissive to be contracted? lol So far the young cast from Potter Emma is the one who is doing better in the movies, so I think she's doing quite well.
I have also read that she wants to do all these things, and that is great. I also believe that she is also a good actress and doing very well since Potter, and I wish her all the success. But wanting to paint, to sing, to write, to dance and wanting to executive produce is not doing it.
In the film industry being a talented film director, actor is open to public industry. In no occupation is an artists pay more public. When I read that Christoper and Jonathan Nolan collected millions from Interstellar, I agree. I believe that Interstellar is one of the best movies of 2014 and 15. The blogs are filled with intelligent and emotional discussion and a sequel is already planned and anticipated. Peter Jackson with LOTR and Hobbit is another great director and producer. Jodie Foster as a woman has also proven herself in the industry. But these people had to struggle their way to the center. I like Sophie Coppola films but they are not to compare with any of these 3 directors. In the film industry, directors and actors are paid over the top because they have proven themselves to be excellent. Emma is good, but she is by far nowhere near Carey Mulligan, Saiorce Ronan, Sandra Bullock and Meryl Streep- just to mention a few. MacKensie Foy has shown more talent in Interstellar than any of the Potter have shown in seven films and is already signaled at her tender age to be one of the best. The money will not be thrown at her because she is a woman; she will get paid according to talent. Not every male actor is paid more than women. Quite a few women are paid more than male actors in film because they are just better actors. In the film industry, this has little to do with feminist rights but if you truly have the talent or not.
I think if Emma wants to help women in equal pay, she needs to step back from acting and look into the factories and labor fields for men and women. That is very important and needs someone to take a stand for them. I think it is shameful to want a few more million because the likes of Tom Hanks is making more than me in the industry. Very few can equal themselves to Tom Hanks. I just think Emma needs to remain realistic; she has not yet shown that brilliant talent that merits an equal pay with the best. They are paid according to the quality of their acting and the bosses trust in their delivery. Emma rode the tidal waves of Harry Potter which is a great story. If she had started out without Potter, I doubt she would be at the place that she is.
I am a Emma fan, but a few scenes hysteria in Noah I cringed and said "Stop Emma!" Too often her emotional presentation is filled with a bid of hysteria. This was in HP and Noah. I thought Perks was great. I saw Regression and thought O Dear. But I must add, that topic was too unsettling, but Emma was very good. She was not brilliant but very good I am waiting to see Colonia.
I just want to see more of the Renaissance Woman and not read about what she wants.
She already does these things, she paints, she dances, she writes, she sings, but she does for herself. She did not need to do any of these things publicly to be a Renaissance woman.
Maybe because she is so smart, I agree, I also want to see her write and produce one of her own works. I think I have read that she plans on doing so in the future.
I cannot imagine her just wanting her to act out other people's stuff. But who knows?
