J.K. RowlingHarper’s Bazaar magazine has released their annual list of the best dressed women in Britain, and coming in at number seven was Harry Potter author J.K. Rowling. The Telegraph reports that JKR (“increasingly glamourous”) “is more guarded with her style and earlier this year appeared in a floor-length, peppermint goddess gown at a charity event at Hampton Court Palace.” Actress Emma Watson (Hermione Granger in the Harry Potter films) is listed in the number 24 spot. Ireland Online has the entire list , which will be found in the December issue of Harper’s Bazaar due out this week.

Emma? Um…okay. Hey, I think it’s nice that even blind people have the opportunity to be arbiters of fashion.

I love Emma’s clothes and I’m glad that they chose her to be on the list. I’m of course happy for Jo too!
Ahh, finally Jo gets some recognition for being the beautiful woman that she is ♥
Does anyone know if this was in the actual newspaper today, or just online?
I’m really happy to see Emma on this list. I love her style! Those Chanel pieces she wore to some of the OoTP events were all fabulous.
And Jo always looks glamorous.
Why do Leaky show a soury JK picture with most of their news items? I can understand when they use it for libel suit news or similar but these are cheerful news so show a more cheerful Jo pic!! A fun Jo is what we need after all the recent bullava.
Crikey! I just done a refresh and lo and behold, a beautiful and Happy Jo graces my screen! I guess the pictures are cycled on each refresh?? Anyway congrats to Jo and Emma.
Why is Rupert Grint not on that list? He wore a Harry Potter shirt to one of the OotP premires… I think that definately counts as being one of Britain’s best dressed!
Emma was very fashionable this summer, but that’s only because Chanel gave her loads of free stuff, haha.
But there’s no doubt JKR deserves this. ^^
I agree with Sarah about our two HP gals.
Jo always looks GREAT and I thought Emma was ABSOLUTELY SMASHING in Chanel this year.
I’m sorry, this is horribly cheesy, but how perfect is it that JK is #7 . . . I mean really . . . anyway, cheers to both of them!
Just don’t wear the same things JKR does, or she’ll sue you.
hahaha Ishouldbeworking … good catch … #7 … made me laugh … I better get back to work myself!!!
I just hope that Evanna Lynch makes the list next year!!!!
My grandma is more cool than Emma. When she tries to be elegant she seems a 40 years old lady.
Whew!!! Go Emma and JKR! Emma’s style has always been great, but this year she has been off the chain!!! We didn’t see that much of JKR while she was still writing the books, but now that’s she’s finished and has been out in public, her fashion choices are amazing. I loved that pale green dress that she wore to some event. It was great. The dress she wore to the Pride of Britain Awards was also very cute. And I just love all of Emma’s outfits, that girl has got style.
Lily Allen – are you kidding me?
Just remember you guys… this list is a joke. An author make the list for best dressed? An ordinary child-star who - until Chanel gave her clothes - looked like trailer at premieres? HA! HAHAHAHAHA!
This list is the funniest thing since Emma won best actress.
Thanks, TLC, for the great pictures and information! Jo AND Emma deserve to be honoured for their style. (which they have, in abundance, although not always showing it!) *)
OKay, clearyly alot of people on this site don’t like Emma Watson. Which is just complete bullshit. Because they have no reason whatsoever not to like her. I mean seriously with all the Britney Spears, Paris Hiltons, and Lindsay Lohans of the world you would think everyone would love someone like Emma. Who happens to be a very intelligent, gorgeous young actress. Who wears clothes that look great on her and that fit her, unlike some people we know. She’s very outspoken on the importance of education, therefore she’s an awesome role model for not only young girls but for everyone. There’s nothing bad about. She’s got a great attitude, she’s funny, and there aren’t any pictures of her va-jay-jay in the newspapers! She hasn’t crashed 5 brand new cars, she doesn’t have a sex tape and she hasn’t been to rehab 5 times in one month!! Again I ask, WHY DO SOME OF YOU NOT LIKE HER??? Nevermind I know why, JEALOUSLY! That’s the only excuse, because nothing else you say would make any sense. And Emma’s style has always been great. She’s always wore clothes from famous fashion designers, mainly Alberta Ferretti until Chanel probably took an interest in her. But Emma has always had great style, not just this year. I think fashion critics are starting to take notice of her because she’s getting older.
