A few months ago I was reading Vanity Fair and I came across a Burberry ad with a model who looked very familiar. It took a few seconds to figure out who it could be, then I recognized her: Emma Watson, cinema's Hermione Granger. She looks so good in the ads I hardly recognized her. Not that she doesn't look good normally, but you know, Hermione is supposed to look a little rough around the edges. I've never been an Emma Watson fanatic, but I was really impressed with her for booking a Burberry ad campaign. I read somewhere that the people at Burberry considered her a risky choice, but I think it paid off well. She looks like a professional model, not an actress.
Then today I read about how she upstaged Victoria Beckham at the Burberry fashion show that completed Fashion Week in London. I really like the idea of Emma Watson becoming a new fashion icon. She's young, she's fresh, she doesn't do drugs and go out in limos without wearing panties (at least not so far as I know). She's just plain classy, intelligent, and she looks good in a dress. Which is basically all it takes to succeed in this world, I mean, it worked for Rudy Giuliani.

She does look awesome in that Burberry ad. I've always wanted to try a smokey eye like that but haven't dared (also, I've never had the occassion--teaching kindergarten and/or caring for small children just doesn't seem to call for it).
I'm with you, I'd much rather look to Emma Watson for fashion than any of the other drug addicted fashionistas running around L.A. spending their daddy's money.
