Emma Watson's pixie crop: love or hate?

By Lucy Hutchings  on Friday 6 August 2010

Emma Watson shows off new short pixie haircut

Hermione, who? With filming of Harry Potter finally coming to an end, Emma Watson has managed to well and truly distance herself from the character that brought her fame, by chopping off her signature long hair into a daring pixie crop.

The 20-year-old Brit actress debuted her new 'do on her Facebook page, posting the image with the message: 'Dear all. Cut my hair off a few days ago... Feels incredible. I love it. I've wanted to do this for years and years; it's the most liberating thing ever. Hope you like.'

EMMA WATSON'S STYLE HISTORY

Speaking to EW.com, she added, 'The stylist just grabbed the back of my hair and took a whole ponytail of hair out. It felt amazing. I love it. I missed all that experimentation that most teenagers go through. I've wanted to do this since I was about 16, so as soon as I had the chance I was like, 'Right. This is it.''

Love it! Not many people could carry off such a short style, but it really suits her
Comment by Jessica on August 06 11:06

she looks like Sinead O'Connor!
Comment by adriana on August 06 12:14

wow i love it! wish i had the guts to cut off all my hair.
Comment by kelly on August 06 12:18

She's so beautiful she could carry off a blue rinse perm - but really she looks lovely. Makes her old hair seem like a real tumble in comparison. This look is just... clean and chic. Very well done, Emma.
Comment by Rose on August 06 12:21

So pretty! Really suits her x
Comment by Jo on August 06 12:21

Love it!
Comment by jay on August 06 12:23

Not so much of a soft chop as a severe shear. As stunning as her eyes are, I think it will look better in a couple of weeks when it's grown a little in the front. Pixie Hermione!
Comment by Petra on August 06 12:24

I LOVE Emma's new do - she looks totally GORGE. This is her butterfly moment!
Comment by kate on August 06 12:25

hate! what has she done????
Comment by nonono on August 06 12:27

With a bone structure like that she could carry off most things! Very nice
Comment by Kelly Hall on August 06 12:27

Wow she looks gorgeous!
Comment by Vanessa on August 06 12:29

Love it she looks so pretty
Comment by Sarah gauthier on August 06 12:31

She looks gorgeous like a pixie ..and also I reckon touch of Twiggy??
REally suits her.
Starred in a fairytale ...and not surprised its rubbed off and she looks ..wizard and witch


Comment by anon on August 06 12:32

Love it! She's stunning....
Comment by Dave on August 06 12:34

Absolutely gorgeous!!! :)
Comment by jar on August 06 12:41

i love the cut, but its too early for her for this crop. If this is for a movie character its gr8. she looks 10 yrs elder.
Comment by minufm on August 06 12:44

I don't like it but I can see why she did it, probably sick of being associated with her Harry Potter character! She can carry it off as she's so pretty, but I still prefer it long. Grow it back!
Comment by Lucy on August 06 12:52

Stunning! Really suits her - wish I could get away with it!
Comment by Kerry on August 06 13:01

Wow! Love it - there are very few people who can carry off this kind of style successfully (Mia Farrow;Agnes Deyn) but she is definately one
Comment by pat on August 06 13:12

Oh, she's no longer on my list. Not a fan- thumbs down
Comment by Sarah on August 06 13:18

Emma looks great! Very sophisticated and she has the features that suit the shorter hair.
Comment by Breenie on August 06 13:22

WOW - stunning! Sure she'll inspire a lot of people to go for it too!
Comment by Starbryt on August 06 13:37

Emma is so beautiful I think she could well carry off any style. The new pixie crop she's had done really suits her face. She looks lovely! x
Comment by Kate on August 06 14:04

Gorgeous. She looks like a young Julie Andrews (which is a good thing).
Comment by Amanda on August 06 14:11

I absolutely love it she looks so beautiful and really cute.
Comment by LANIE BRITTAIN on August 06 14:17

Fab!! The girl has grown up and this style embraces her step up to the young sophisticated lady she has grown up to be!!
Comment by Denise on August 06 14:27

Love it, she looks more stunning than ever!
Comment by Clare on August 06 14:47

It really does not matter what we think as long as she is happy.
Comment by Victoria T on August 06 14:50

I love it! She has the face and confidence to pull it off.

Comment by @gem_k on August 06 14:58

It really suits Emma and makes her look older and more sophisticated. It must have taken a lot of courage to change her style so radically!
Comment by Sharon on August 06 15:26

What more is there to say everyone seems to agree she looks wonderful and she certainly does.
Good move and a great change.
Comment by swiss on August 06 15:35

She looks like a boy!
Comment by Eskimorabbit on August 06 15:58

Love it! Fresh, pretty and suits her perfectly. Well done Emma for being brave enough to go with what you want, rather than what people think you should look like. We all forget how many years the cast of HP lost as "normal children".
Comment by Tracey on August 06 16:23

i LOVE IT it's awesome and very unique on her.. love it absloutly
Comment by paula on August 06 16:45

I hate it, it makes her look so ordinary.
Comment by Debz on August 06 16:55

LOVE IT. SHE'S A BEAUTIFUL GIRL WITH GREAT FEATURES. SHE LOOKS LIKE A MODEL WITH THIS NEW SHRT HAIRCUT;)
Comment by adina on August 06 17:08

I hate it what happend to your old lovley
and silky hair I was a fan but know I'm not!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Comment by Anila on August 06 18:03

My initial reaction was what has she done to that gorgeous hair she had? On further look I realise she has the face to carry it off, and actually it suits her. Totally understand her wanting to rid herself of Hermione and be herself
Comment by Cathy on August 06 18:41

Love it, barely recognised her. Her eyes look amazing. Good move! x
Comment by Li on August 06 19:24

j'adore. By tansmogrifying herself into jean seberg in a bout de souffle she's gone from geek to chic. Good job wizkid!
Comment by sue denim on August 06 19:29

its awful! She doesn't look classic or edgy edgy enough to carry it off.
Comment by jojo on August 06 19:37

I absolutely LOVE it!!! She looks amazing. Plus, she did it for herself. She's young and she's having fun. This is the perfect time to do it. It takes a lot of courage to do something like that. But it looks amazing on her!!
Comment by Gabby on August 06 19:48

Too short and boyish - maybe a bob would have been a better intermediate step!
Comment by Caroline on August 06 19:51

Very Mia Farrow - I love it
Comment by Maureen on August 06 22:12

I love it. She looks fantastic
Comment by Rachel on August 07 09:33

She looks like a young Mia Farrow
Comment by Heather on August 07 10:01

Looks like a 16 year old twiggy. She looks good.
Comment by Brenda Hendley on August 07 10:39

It really suits her, and just for the record if she wants to cut her hair just what has it got to do with anyone else.
Comment by nannyof9 on August 07 13:32

far to severe and short she looks like a boy
Comment by emma on August 07 14:33

I love Emmas new hair do, she really suits it. Emma is a lovely looking young lady and I admire her courage to go that short...;O)
Comment by Pamela, Scotland on August 07 15:22

Why on earth did she do that to herself?!
Comment by Gabriella on August 07 17:39

Absolutely radiant, stunning. Bravo, Emma.
Comment by j on August 07 18:21

Wow! So short but her eyes and bone structure make it look hot! I could never but I love it on Emma!
Comment by Serena on August 08 05:13

I love it!...
Comment by Tracy on August 08 09:53

It is revolting -she looks just like a boy.
Comment by Bel on August 08 17:08

Looks great and suits her fabulous bone structure perfectly!
Comment by Malika on August 08 18:06

Well I personally think it's awful! Why on earth would anyone cut all their hair off??? Yeah she's quite pretty but this has made her look like a little boy! Sorry but it's true!
Comment by Bea on August 08 22:11

it's fantastic, really suits her, and she looks amazing - oh for eyes like that!
Comment by Pennie on August 09 13:07

second comment..
She looks incredible and what does it matter if it is short or long...hair grows!!!!!!!!!!!
I bet each and everyone who has commented goes and gets their own hair done or cut as they wish!!!! Why....is she any different..cant look 12 indefinitely...another year another cut...it will change occasionally...same as all other women!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! enuf already
Comment by anon on August 09 20:15

I thought her hair was beautiful before! Not sure I like the new look. xx
Comment by molly on August 10 14:09
