Wow. Not only is Emma the October cover girl for ‘Glamour UK’, but she’s also the October cover girl for ‘Glamour US’! Both the UK and US have brand new photoshoots – UK by Vincent Peters, the US by Alexei Hay – and, assumedly, two different interviews! While only a preview of the UK cover and a photoshoot image have been released, a whole set of scans has been found for the US edition.

Transcript coming soon Transcript available right here – in the meantime, check out the grungy new photoshoot by Alexei Hay! In the interview, Emma talks about her current girl crushes – the lovely and awesome Carey Mulligan and Emma Stone – dating through the ages, her hair and future roles, her fear of typcasting, “Perks”, romantic comedies and being “the nerdy one” growing up.

Emma with an Edge

Little Hermione is all grown up and showing off her sexy side in her first post-Potter leading role. Now Watson talks to Glamour about her life, her hair, her dating rules, and all those “hot bods” in Hollywood.

Emma Watson is just so cute. She’s got that little face and that artfully messy hair, and she’s wearing the sweetest white summer dress you’ve ever seen. But when she starts speaking over breakfast at the Carlyle hotel in New York City, it becomes very clear that our old friend Hermione is anything but childlike: Watson is smart and funny and passionate about becoming an actress with a capital A. Her first starring role after Harry Potter, as a wild child in this month’s teen drama The Perks of Being a Wallflower, was a conscious break from her wizard alter ego; at the same time, she’s becoming known in the fashion world as a risk taker, favouring up-and-coming English designers she’s discovered through her own research. Glamour sat down with the 22-year-old native Brit, who’s living in New York while filming Darren Aronofsky’s Noah, to discuss her plans to return to Brown University and her desire to do a (well-written!) rom-rom.

And it seems all the actresses who are truly successful do look like individuals.
I feel like if you’re distracted by how beautifully toned someone’s arms are, then you’re not really being drawn into their performance. You’re just thinking about that hot bod! I think Carey Mulligan is amazing. She’s a huge girl crush of mine. And also Emma Stone. People love them because they’re real and they embrace it.

By the way, I see you’re growing out your hair.
I have to for roles. But if I had it my way, I would have just kept it short forever. Of course, men like long hair. There’s no two ways about it. The majority of boys around me are like, “Why did you do that? That’s such an error.” And I was like, “Well, honestly, I don’t care what you think!” I’ve never felt so confident as I did with short hair – I felt really good in my own skin.

A couple of days ago, the editor of ‘Glamour UK’ revealed that the October issue of the magazine would feature Emma Watson to kick off upcoming “Perks” promotions. The gorgeous cover and a new photoshoot image, by Vincent Peters, was revealed this morning by The Telegraph. A new interview with Emma – in which she talks “love, fashion and body confidence” – will also be published in the magazine.

You can view the first photo, the cover, and a tidbit from the interview below.

Emma Watson names her all-time favourite outfits

Unsurprisingly, Emma Watson’s stepmother’s cast-offs aren’t amongst her favourite red carpet looks, but read on to find out which are.

Barely-teen starlets Chloe Moretz, Hailee Steinfeld and Kiernan Shipka might have made wearing school uniform one day and Chanel Haute Couture the next de rigueur for the five-foot-and-under population in Hollywood, but that hasn’t always been the case.

It’s no secret that when an young Emma Watson promoted the Harry Potter films which have brought her huge wealth and fortune, she used to rely on her stepmother’s cast-offs to tread the red carpet. Undoubtedly style lows, the actress has now admitted that wearing “things that were just far too big for me too” are also up their on her ‘rather forget’ list.

So what is worth celebrating about her now very grown-up wardrobe, which includes elegant and occasionally risqué numbers by Valentino, Burberry and Marchesa?

“My all-time favourites are probably the white Alexander McQueen dress I wore to the Empire Awards and the vintage Ossie Clark dress I found in a shop around the corner from my house…” the 22-year-old tells the new issue of Glamour , which she covers to promote her new film, The Perks of Being a Wallflower .

Unlike the aforementioned Steinfelds and Shipkas, Watson was the ripe old age of 18 when she debuted in said McQueen, wowing the crowds at The National Movie Awards in London in a romantic white gown with draped sleeves and a silver, crystal-embellished bust. And as for the grey, plunging neckline Ossie Clark gown she wore to the Harry Potter And The Half Blood Prince premiere in London’s Leicester Square in 2009, we’re glad to hear the memories sustained from that evening are good ones; torrential rain and a gust of wind revealed her flesh-coloured undergarments to the world.

Luckily, Watson has taken it all in her rather down-to-earth stride: “it helps that I’ve accepted my body shape more as I’ve got older” she concludes.

Remember when Emma graced the cover of Elle UK last November? New photos and outtakes from that photoshoot have been released – two by the photographer himself, Rankin, and the rest by Emma Watson Daily – all in glorious high quality! Check out the entire set here in the galleries.

Thank you once again for the fabulous Emma Watson Daily for the majority of the set.

And we’re getting closer and closer to “The Perks of Being a Wallflower” being released in select U.S. and U.K. cinemas! Three new promotional stills featuring Emma as Sam have been released, including a brand new shot of Emma as Sam in “The Rocky Horror” scene garb! You can view these new additions, and the previously released ones, all here in our photo galleries.

In other “Perks”-related news, MarkMeets.com are reporting that “The Perks of Being a Wallflower” will be premiering in London on September 26 but a cinema has not yet been allocated. “Perks” will be having its world premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival on September 8 and then in Los Angeles on September 10.

With all these promotions, Emma, Logan and Ezra will, more than likely, be making a few television appearances as well; keep checking back and we’ll try and keep you updated as news is released.

Emma is in the current edition of ‘Seventeen’ magazine as this month’s “style star”! A interview is rather short and is a bit of a rehash from Emma’s interview with the magazine from last year, but it’s also accompanied by a brand new photo from the photoshoot! Thanks to EmmaW.org for the scan.

This year, she worked fashion magic on every red carpet. But when she’s off-duty, she looks even more amazing!

When did you first realise your style made such an impact?
I was 11 the first time someone asked me who I was wearing. I was like, “What do you mean? My dress?!?” But I’ve always loved that it comes with the job. I’ve definitely taken interest.

How did you find your fashion voice?
Sometimes on photoshoots, I’ve had to say, “This is too sexy for me. This isn’t my thing.” A rock-and-roll biker jacket and hot pants is not who I am. I’ve learned to politely sayd, “Look, I’m sorry. I’m not comfortable.”

Did cutting your hair change the way you dress?
I can wear things that are a bit more graphic. I never used to wear black! I try to avoid it because I feel like it’s the easy option. I’m young, so it’s nice to play with colour and not just wear black all the time. I’ll save that for when I’m older!

A whole bunch of online media sources have simultaneously published their set visit interviews with the cast of “The Perks of Being a Wallflower”. BuzzSugar.com, JustJared.com, Hollywood.com and NovelNovice.com. All of these interviews have similar answers – they were all conducted at the same time – but each has at least one answer different or slightly expanded. If you don’t feel like going through five separate, but similar, articles, you can always peruse the “Perks” tag in our quotes archive.

As well as the cast talking about the film, Emma’s co-stars were not short on compliments for her. Ezra, Logan, Mae and Nina all had some great things to say about Emma and her acting ability.

JustJared.com ‘Perks of Being a Wallflower’ Set Visit
Emma is taking on the pivotal role of Sam in the film, the main love interest of the story’s lead character and the person who encourages him to be himself. While working on the Harry Potter films for most of her childhood until her adult years, she was looking for a film to break out into a new type of role.

‘Perks of Being a Wallflower’: What We Learned on Set Share
Watson told Hollywood.com that many of her wardrobe pieces were her own, but she was intimidated by her character Sam’s need for “great style.” (Right, like Watson could ever want for a stylish air.) “A lot of the clothes are actually my clothes. I’m actually wearing one of my grandmother’s dresses, which I got altered … Sam’s style is very interesting. There’s a couple of looks that have been interesting for me to wear, because they’re very all-American. I’m like, ‘Wow, if my friends could see me now,’” she giggled.

Exclusive Set Visit & Cast Interview: The Perks of Being a Wallflower
For lots of different reasons, but there are bunch of scenes that are just Ezra, Logan and I – Patrick, [Charlie, and] Sam – and we ended up adlibbing a lot and riffing off one another. That’s been really fun. And, I would say, there’s a scene where Patrick and Sam dance at homecoming, and I would say that, but I was really too terrified to enjoy it. Because I had to get up in front of, like, 300 extras and do a two-minute … crazy, like, full-on dance. Which was fun, but also terrifying.

Exclusive Set Visit & Cast Interview: The Perks of Being a Wallflower
I was very nervous before we started shooting. I was very nervous about the American accent. I was very nervous about the fact that I didn’t know, apparently, the other kids on this movie have had the experiences that, you know, change their characters’ journey in the story, because they went to an American high school, they know what prom looks like, all these little details that I had no idea about. So I was a little neurotic about. My script is covered in notes about, like, all these American words, all this American slang. I was quizzing my friends about high school prom and everything.

And, as before, a whole lot of promotional stills for “Perks” have been updated with high quality additions. Check out of all of the promotional photos from “Perks” here, in our photo galleries.

Anyone else excited for “Perks”?!

The interview, which spans three pages on The New York Times webpage, has Emma talking candidly about her American accent, living in London, her struggle with choosing between an academic or acting career, modelling for Lancôme, confirming her involvement in “Beauty” and stating it will begin filming in Summer 2013 and much, much more!

You can check out the stunning new photoshoot – shot by Alasdair McLellan – here in our photo galleries; you can check out the interview here in the press archives.

Big thank you to Bliss for the tip-off! :)

The Graduate

Emma Watson, the onetime co-star of the most successful movie franchise ever, is a very grateful and a very lucky person. How do I know that? Because I sat down with the 22-year-old in a gastropub in a trendy neighborhood of North London, and in the course of an hour’s conversation she said “grateful” five times and “lucky” eight. True, of those five “grateful”s two were of the “ungrateful” form — yet these were embedded in clauses like “I felt guilty because I felt like that meant I was ungrateful. . . .” So, as you can see, Watson is a young woman who wants it put firmly on the record that she understands human lives are shaken up in the snow globe of uncertainty, and that simply because she’s ended up being covered in golden flakes, she doesn’t take it as her due, oh, no.

Pale skinned, serious of mien, with tiny little Meissen china ears furled tightly against her tiny little Meissen china head, her brown hair scraped back into a bunch, her meager form lost in a baggy white T-shirt, Watson still looks younger than she is. She’s neat-featured; all the headlines of her face — eyes, brows, cheekbones — seem as if underlined. And it’s quite possible that this rather serious emphasis, all those years ago, alerted the casting director that this 9-year-old girl should play Hermione Granger in the Harry Potter movies, rather than the umpteen thousand others who were gagging, swooning, dying to do so. Oh, and then there’s her mouth, which, in mid-moue, has a top lip that looks sharp enough to give you a paper cut.
