Best known for her role as the nerdy yet charming Hermione Granger in the Harry Potter franchise, Emma Watson since has transformed herself from a young prodigy to a glamourous and iconic figure in Britain’s filming industry. Besides Hermione, the Paris-born actress also stars in other successful projects, such as The Perks of Being a Wallflower, Beauty and the Beast, and Little Women. More than just an actress, Watson is also a feminist and a renowned fashion icon, while also showing her talents in multiple aspects.

After her adolescent phase, the British native has always been praised for her refined and elegant fashion sense, as she never fails to impress us by rocking her mature and lady-like outfits at public events. However, in her teenage years, Watson used to dress very differently, as some of her younger attires looked very bizarre and dorky, of course, in a good way. Let’s take a trip down memory lane to see how the actress used to dress in her younger years, but still managed to show her charm and cuteness.
