[STYLE IN SPADES]

If you’re a fan of Emma Watson, you’re likely a fan of her style too. Nobody does a red Marc by Marc military jacket, YSL serpent tee, or Comme Des Garcons polyester tulle dress like Emma. Yeah, you’ve probably noticed that her style is sort of quirky. Quirky, and damn near impossible to describe.

Thankfully, I’m a miracle worker & have come up with the Emma Watson Fashion Formula.

I’ll start with the easy stuff. Emma sure loves red lipstick. That, or she drinks a lot of cherry Kool-aid…

Below, Emma appears in Interview & Italian Vogue wearing red lipstick:

She has also taken the look and incorporated it into her own personal style

So you’ve run out and gotten yourself a tube of Chanel Rouge Allure or stolen your mom’s. I’m proud of you.

.

Now we can move on to the clothes. Dressing like Emma Watson really only requires one thing: money. And if you don’t have money (or won’t drop $5,000+ on a single outfit for whatever reason), then I sure hope you’re famous & can borrow from showrooms.

.

.

However, if you are neither rich nor famous you can still steal Emma’s look so long as you own this single accessory: a black high waisted belt. Ta dah! In nearly every photo I’ve seen of Emma Watson, she’s wearing a black belt around her torso. Take a look for yourself. It’s like playing Where’s Waldo, only not.

Take a look at this Christopher Kane Fall ’09 dress:

Emma wore it to David Letterman this year. However, you’ll notice below that Emma’s dress has an additional black line across the waist where the original did not.

Finally, before I bid adieu, I will add one more component to the Emma Watson Fashion Formula.

.

Stripes. This girl has a stripes obsession. I’ll even go so far as to say that the black belt fetishism seen above is merely a variation on the stripes theme.

See!? The black belt is a just a clever way to add a black stripe to an outfit.

.

Anyways, I like her style & hope to write more on her later.

.

Still… Even though I’ve been to fashion parties & seen shows at Bryant Park, I can’t help but to throw up in my mouth a little bit every time I see her standing all nonchalant next to Karl Lagerfeld. Or Rupert Grint.
