Emma Watson x Chanel

In the last week there has been lots of news about Emma Watson being the new face of Chanel's perfume. Many sources have reported that she has signed a multimillion dollar contract for two years and will take over after Keira Knightley's contract ends.

But many other reports have said that she doesn't have a deal with Chanel yet and that all the rumors about her advertising for the brand are false. Representatives of Chanel have not stated yet whether she will be the new face or not either.

In my opinion, I think she would be a great choice for Chanel. She's young (only 18), but glamorous and poise. She can take on all the high fashion looks and make it look effortless chic, yet I can still see her youth. (Sometimes other stars like Lindsay Lohan look so much older in high fashion labels.) I love her look and she's adorable, but I know she can be sexy and edgy as well.

I'm dying to find out if she really will work with Chanel in their campaigns and if so I can't wait to see the advertisements!

She's cute and all, but I don't know if I can see her as the face of Chanel or something.

Another iconic face of Chanel's perfume.

no no no, emma watson and chanel dont match, not in my mind. shes too child and shes just girl next door

Ida said...

She is too young to actually represent Chanel in my opinion, as I associate the latter with eternal class and style, and at 18 you don't exactly symbolize that. Then again, anything would be better than Nicole Kidman for Chanel. Ugh

bring it on i say. i like that she's young. chanel is extreme understate chic and i think this girl, despite all her bookworm-ness, can do it.

come visit sometimes!

love,

It's great that she's young, but I'm not sure if she's quite ready for Chanel yet.
Whenever I see her, all I can think is Hermione.

I think she could do it someday soon, no doubt in my mind. But I think she needs to do some other things to get her out of the Hermione mindset. She's definently able.

Little Hermiony a Chanel model? I can't picture it... yet.

Sharon S said...

If they offer it to her-good luck to her!!

Rebecca, A Clothes Horse said...

I think she would be an excellent choice as well. She always looks like herself, no water what she's wearing and yet she has tried some really avante guarde looks out.

EvaAmarri said...

She would be a good choice.

I loved kira knightley but emma waston would be a fantastic new face

Margaux said...

I love her, shes very elegant, yet cute.

designscene said...

oh well after seeing last chanel resort collection... i say everything is possible with them, i dont think shes the right choice. Chanel is going too much into the american consumers way :/

Hunters Glory said...

Yeah I think it works! I'm with FA on this!

christina said...

I actually heard she was definitely NOT the new face and that they were just rumors. Where I heard this, I'm not sure actually.

Wendy said...

I read somewhere the other day that it was just a rumor. But I kind of wish they'd work with her.

Romany said...

Unfortunately Chanel just confirmed that the rumours are "100% false".
Too bad, I thought she would make a great choice as the Chanel girl, too...
But Keira K is still great for now.

yiqin; said...

Wow, I am 18 & I don't think I'll ever be the face of Chanel!

I love Emma Watson (I'm a huge Harry Potter fan)! I'm not sure if she necessarily represents the Chanel brand exactly, but hey she is a hell of a lot better than some other celebrities. That said, I will be sad to see Keira go.

p.s. I'd love to trade links! I'll add you right now.

Shen-Shen said...

She annoys me, but I have to admit she's growing on me a little tiny bit.. Or maybe it's just the amazing dress she's wearing in that pic!

Blue Floppy Hat said...

It turns out they're not doing a campaign with her, which is good news really- she comes off as far too gauche and young to pull off heading up a high-fashion campaign, even if she wears her red-carpet clothes well and has made some unusual but interesting choices in the past. Maybe in two to three years' time she'd be a good choice, but right now? I say no...

queengilda said...

hahaha! i talked about her being the face of chanel, some time ago in my blog. i think although she's still so young, she has glamor and poise, as you said it. i've seen her in her chanel ensembles working the red carpet and it hink she's really pulled it off so far.

Liz Lizo said...

she would be perfect for chanel Karl you know that, such a presh image to represent a forever classic brand.

qifa said...

thank god chanel didn't strip her clothes like they did too keira knightley
