Feh or Fab: Emma Watson

Emma Watson snuck in at a #15 seed for Fug Madness because of her tendency to overdo things: fussy dresses, clunky shoes, odd fits, and sometimes choices that were oddly matronly in the face of her very young age. Now that Karl Lagerfeld has turned his stern attention to her by making her the new face of Chanel, I think we might be in for some awesome and some CRAZY ensembles in the future, so for now I’m just happy to see Emma walking the line between maturity and youth:

She looks cute and cool and unfussy, with a minimum risk of sweat stains — perfect for an outdoor polo event. It’s a bit quaint, perhaps, and the random string dangling from her skirt is perhaps not my favorite part — combined with the lace, it gives off the impression that her skirt is slowly unraveling — but on the whole, I’ll cheerfully take this ensemble over pairing slouchy boots with a bad Hogwarts home-ec project. Wouldn’t you?
