    I love fashion. I think it's so important, because it's how you show yourself to the world.

    Emma skyrocketed to fame after perfecting the bossy, snotty part of Hermione Grangier yet is known worldwide for more than just her acting chops.  Emma was ranked #3 on 'Empire Magazine's 100 Sexiest Movie Stars' list, #3 on Teen Vogue's list of Best Dressed Celebrities (2009), #6 on MSN's list of Best Dressed Celebrities (2009) and was named the Highest Grossing Actress of the Decade by the Guinness Book of World Records.

    I hope my head doesn't get very big. I'm just going to keep my feet on the ground, stick to friends and family and try and lead a normal life.
