    Emma Watson proves she’s a key Hollywood power player as she poses for W magazine

    Emma Watson has successfully distanced herself from any Harry Potter associations as she blossoms into a fully fledged star in her own right complete with a catalogue of fashion covers in her wake the latest of which sees her take on a 40s look for W magazine.

    IS THIS EMMA WATON’S SEXIEST SHOOT EVER?

    As she takes pride of place on the cover of W, Emma Watson plays up to the vintage look with a side parting and manicured waves worn with a deep red shade over her lips with a warm blush on her cheeks serving to highlight her chiseled cheekbones.

    The British star wears a charcoal blazer with a subtle nod to the Eastern trend with floral embellishment throughout although it’s certainly not without the elegant addition of a little flirtation, there’s a belt hat cinches in Emma’s tiny waist and on her slender legs reside fishnet stockings.

    Although determined to prove us wrong Emma added: ‘I wanted to wear a sports bra until I was 22! The allure of being sexy never really held any excitement for me. I’ve never been in a terrible rush to be seen as a woman.’

    But on seeing this picture, she’ll certainly be seen as a very attractive woman!
