We've Got a Serious Style Crush on Nina Dobrev - and Here's Why

Marisa Tom — Thu, 10 Jan 2013 08:57:02 EST

While it's admittedly hard to focus on anything but her handsome co-stars on The Vampire Diaries, Nina Dobrev has grabbed our undivided attention (and kept it) with her youthful-turned-ultra-chic off-screen style. The brunette beauty has effortlessly nailed a personal style that expresses both her affinity for seriously glamorous red-carpet gowns and her penchant for more low-key and supergirlie numbers. In just the last year alone, we've gotten an extrastylish dose of Nina, courtesy of the Met Gala, The CW's upfronts, the amfAR gala in Cannes, her debut as a Got Milk? campaign face, and The Perks of Being a Wallflower promo tour. She's got a sweet spot for designer Donna Karan, and the feeling's mutual - as proven by her stunning turn in a liquid black-and-gold Atelier creation and that jaw-dropping siren-red gown at the 2011 Emmys. Throw in the likes of Dolce & Gabbana, Elie Saab, J.Mendel, and Monique Lhuillier, and you've got the makings of a totally enviable style-setter. In honour of Nina's 24th birthday yesterday, we're taking a look at how the actress's panache has evolved from her days on Canada's Degrassi to her current status as a style star.

Hannah Weil — Thu, 27 Sep 2012 08:50:14 EST

We saw it coming on the runways this Spring, but Emma Watson just took the dress-over-pants trend for a real-life test-drive at the London screening of her new film, The Perks of Being a Wallflower. A wallflower she certainly is not, as Emma embraced the bold take on layering in a Christian Dior Couture look - a strapless fit-and-flare cocktail dress and a pair of straight-leg black trousers. Sure, the pieces on their own are all classics - right down to her pointed-toe pumps, but together, they become something a little more fashion-forward. Now we want to know, are they better together or would you have liked to see Emma just pick one?

Emma Watson Dresses Up Pants For a Special Perks Screening

Meghan Rooney — Thu, 27 Sep 2012 07:35:36 EST

Emma Watson hit the red carpet in London yesterday for a special screening of The Perks of Being a Wallflower (out Nov. 29) at the Mayfair Hotel. She took a fashion-forward approach by layering a dress over pants. Earlier that day she wore her glasses for a stop at BBC studios, where she promoted the film. She shared her excitement about being back in the UK on Twitter, writing, "Yay for Perks! Lovely to be home, London." The movie is being released there on Oct. 3 after a limited opening in the US last Friday but still doesn't have an Australian release date.

Emma's visit to BBC wasn't just about her most recent project, though, since talk also turned to Harry Potter. Recently, author J.K. Rowling announced the possibility of a director's cut version of the books, and when asked if Emma would be interested in participating, she responded, "That's so interesting. Sure!"

Emma Watson Goes Short to Debut Perks in NYC

Allie Merriam — Sat, 15 Sep 2012 11:25:42 EST

Emma Watson wore an asymmetrical Brood mini to bring The Perks of Being a Wallflower to NYC for an East Coast debut on Thursday night. She was joined at the Cinema Society event by her co-stars Adam Higenbuch, Johnny Simmons, Logan Lerman, Ezra Miller, and Erin Wilhelmi at the city's Crosby Street Hotel. Emma and Ezra were in LA earlier this week for their big West Coast debut. There, Emma told us about her reaction when Perks got a standing ovation at TIFF, and also dished on the "hippie"-like atmosphere on set when she made the movie during the winter of 2010 in Pittsburgh. Emma also fit in a stop by Late Night With Jimmy Fallon on Thursday. Her interview was hilarious - Jimmy asked Emma about being the riskiest person to search on the Internet. She replied, "My brother says, 'You're about as dangerous as a fluffy bunny.'" Emma and Jimmy also did a silly dance together, and she went on to express love for Pittsburgh.
