The HQ portrait session Emma attended during the 2014 BAFTA Los Angeles Britannia Awards have been added in our gallery.
Last night Emma Watson attended the 2014 BAFTA Los Angeles Jaguar Britannia Awards. Emma received her Britannia Award for British Artist of the Year. HQ images have now been added to the gallery.
The 2014 British Fashion Award nominees are in, and most of the list probably won’t surprise you.
The picks for most stylish stars across the pond included the usual suspects, such as Emma Watson, Cara Delevingne, Benedict Cumberbatch and Idris Elba. But there was one always impeccably dressed star who was missing: Kate Middleton!
So why was the duchess left without a nomination? The British Fashion Awards included the royal in last year’s honors, and this year they’re celebrating a fresh group of nominees.
Watson has been ruling the red carpet since she was a teen. The actress is always one to watch at award shows, frequently sporting daring and unexpected choices—like the crimson Dior frock she wore over black cigarette pants and cobalt pumps at the 2014 Golden Globe Awards.
The British Fashion Council hand-selected this year’s crop of potential Fashion Award winners, but the awards are actually decided by members of the public. You can vote for your most stylish celeb on the British Fashion Awards website.
Actress, activist and United Nations Women Goodwill Ambassador Emma Watson graces the cover of ELLE’s feminism issue.
ELLE Editor in Chief, Lorraine Candy, talked to Emma about her upbringing, what being a feminist really means in today’s world, and how she felt presenting her inaugural speech at the UN Summit in September, which Lorraine attended as Emma’s guest.
It was a frightening experience for the 24 year old. “I was very nervous,” she admits. “It wasn’t an easy thing for me to do. It felt like: ‘Am I going to have lunch with these people, or am I going to be eaten? Am I the lunch?'”
Her decision to become an activist on behalf of women was, in many ways, prompted by her fame as an actress. “Fame is not something I have always felt comfortable with; I have really grappled with it emotionally. And, in a funny way, doing this is my way of making sense of the fame, of using it. I have found a way to channel it towards something else, which makes it so much more manageable for me. And this is something I really believe in,” she says.
She also feels passionately that feminism can and should mean different things to all people, but that all people should embrace it. “Feminism is not here to dictate to you. It’s not prescriptive, it’s not dogmatic. All we are here to do is give you a choice. If you want to run for President, you can. If you don’t, that’s wonderful, too.” It’s an attitude she learned as a young girl. “I’m lucky I was raised to believe that my opinion at the dinner table was valuable. My mum and I spoke as loudly as my brothers.”
