Emma Watson has definitely grown up to be a lovely young lady from the gawky young girl who plays Hermoine Granger in the Harry Potter movie series. And who better to represent the young face of English brand Burberry than their own English Rose?
But here’s a recent Burberry ad that has left people wondering if it was an overzealous photoshop moment or if Emma Watson was caught standing in a strange one legged pose.
That’s her brother by the way – Alex, both of whom feature in Burberry’s new ad campaigns. My attention was rather distracted initially by that light blue trench coat – I love it! But then I’ve always had a soft spot for that quintessential British fashion item – Burberry trench coats. I’ve outgrown my old one (its now way too big for me) so perhaps its a good reason to look for another 😉
Instead of pondering over missing legs, I’m going to gawk at another gorgeous trench that Burberry has come up with. With cute puffed sleeves and in a gorgeous shade of lilac.
How on earth does Burberry make me want a trench coat that I don’t even need?! That said, even if I do get one, much as I love the look and colour of that lilac trench, I’d pass for something more classic. Something tells me that design’s going to date. Perhaps I’d opt for the one in blue above instead 🙂
Incidentally, I think that guy standing behind Emma Watson looks creepy. Its like he’s going to flash her or something. Gives trench coats a bad name 😛
Anyway, what d’ya think?
Does Emma Watson have a leg to stand on in the ad? Is it just a strange one-legged pose she adopted or is it a case of photoshop gone wrong – again. You be the judge!

Ditto Shorty!
yahui says
i love the ad too! so hot! hope she doesn’t do a Britney in future though.
ParisB says
Hi Yahui
Same here! She looks like a rational girl – lets hope she stays that way 🙂
Jessica says
PB, you had me laughing when I read ‘Harry Potter and the missing appendage’…! Gotta agree on the creepy guy…*gulp*
ParisB says
Hey Jessica
😀 It does look like she lost a leg eh? And Burberry should have kept an eye on that flasher looking guy
beetrice says
LOL!! methinks someone in the Burberry design department’s going to get an earful soon (if not already)…that baby blue trench is gorgeous – but how to wear in our weather? *sighs*
(erm, and is it just me or does Alex look like he’s trying way too hard to pull off the ‘don’t care’ look? hmm…)
ParisB says
Hey beetrice
Ya lor Alex really cracked me up in the pics. Perhaps we can pull off a trench in our current rainy spell? 🙂
giddy tigress says
i love the light blue trench too! And I also NEED a Burberry bag 🙂
That weird appendage photo is just too scary!
ParisB says
Hey giddy tigress
Losing a leg if only just to photoshop is scary heh… we all have “needs” don’t we 😉
Pinkelle says
Definitely bad photoshopping!!
ParisB says
Yop Pinkelle
Ya pity really. She has nice legs LOL
synical says
I’ve been looking at trenchcoats on and off for a while now and I’ve read that one of the classic brands for trenchcoats are Burberry. I don’t mind second hand ones, but I’m in no hurry to get one.
But like someone else said; how to wear in our weather? 😀
About that photo: If it wasn’t bad photoshopping, I’d say her leg was slender enough to hide behind her brother’s leg. Didn’t get what the hoo-ha was about.
Shay says
If you follow the leg that stretches behind her brother’s ass, the leg should slight peak out between her brother’s thighs. But there’s nothing. So, its kinda weird.
ParisB says
Hey Shay
haha… perhaps someone was hoping no one was looking 😉
ParisB says
Hi Synical
I guess this picture coming on top of Demi Moore’s missing hip photoshop image just got everyone looking. Burberry definitely is one of the top brands for a classic trench coat or mac. I guess there’s always travel 😉
Jyoan says
I’ve always love Burberry. Saw their other trench coats before, and love it totally. Wow, this light blue one really makes me smitten with Burberry. My fav brand. 😛
And Emma Watson is sooooo pretty.
ParisB says
Hey Jyoan
The baby blue is pretty eh? 🙂 Burberry only really has me at their coats though Emma Watson is a great fresh face for the brand.
Cheesey Poo says
Thank god I’m not the only tropical babe who wants a Burberry trenchcoat.. while STILL living in the tropics!
Sorry.. don’t dig the lilac one, I can’t do puffed sleeves without looking like pro footballer. I actually found a kiddy Burberry trenchcoat for Connor but Daddy said looks like girlie… so I had to chuck it.. so sad..
ParisB says
Hey Cheesey
You have an excuse la – there’s always those trips to take Connor back to see his grandparents! 😉
geekchic says
Woman! Recapping our conversation and the tweet, you and I will drive each other to bankruptcy one day. I’ll go check out the trenchie in DJ tomorrow, maybe they’ll have some sale in line of the bloody 41degree day on Monday? 😛 Will keep you posted…
ParisB says
Hey Geekchic
Yes we will but we’ll go down looking like a million bucks! 😀 I tried looking – a short trench was going for about HKD20k or something ridiculous. 🙁
Connie says
oh ya hor… can’t see the rest of her leg in both pics :-/
I think she has grown up to be really gorgeous with superb sense of style. If I ever have to live in a cold country, I’d buy a trench coat 😀 or maybe just buy and keep nice nice inside my non-existent wardrobe
ParisB says
Hey Connie
I’d probably get one in anticipation of travel LOL… Crazy eh? but yes Emma Watson has grown up to be a gorgeous young lady!
von161 says
Hi Paris!! Emma looks drop dead gorgeous and makes me want that light blue trenchie too. Bout the pic, i think she was standing on one leg while the other was like… bent and against the wall. You know what i mean. Try to make it out and see… 😉
ParisB says
Hi Von161
I guess she has thin legs? I’m still likely to believe it was bad photoshop 🙂
All Women Stalker says
The moment I saw this girl when she was very young back in Harry Potter 1, I knew she will become something big when she grows older… now she’s simply fantastic
ParisB says
Hi there
Yep! She’s growing up great and I hope she doesn’t take the slippery slide of Charlotte Church or Britney Spears
