Harper’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.

Ireland Online has the entire list , which will be found in the December issue of Harper’s Bazaar due out this week.

1 Natalia Vodianova 2 Thandie Newton 3 Agyness Deyn 4 Dame Helen Mirren 5 Lily Allen 6 Emily Blunt 7 JK Rowling 8 Anouck Lepere 9 Irina Lazareanu 10 Kate Moss 11 Naomi Watts 12 Jemima Khan 13 Rosamund Pike 14 Sam Taylor Wood 15 Madonna 16 Naomie Harris 17 Peaches Geldof 18 Sienna Miller 19 Daphne Guinness 20 Lily Donaldson 21 Keira Knightley 22 Rachel Weisz 23 Kate Winslet 24 Emma Watson 25 Roksanda Ilincic

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.

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.

Just don’t wear the same things JKR does, or she’ll sue you.

My grandma is more cool than Emma. When she tries to be elegant she seems a 40 years old lady.
