We may have seen her grow up on the silver screen, but we can’t help but do a double take every time we see snapshots of Emma Watson splashed across blogs and the pages of glossy magazines. After all, it seems like only yesterday that we saw an 11-year-old Emma making her acting debut in Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone. However, even though 13 years have flown by (yes, 13…), it’s still sometimes difficult to grasp the fact that little Hermione Granger is all grown up.

Since taking her first step on the red carpet at the first Harry Potter premiere in 2001, the busy British actress/model/university student/certified yoga instructor (seriously, does she ever stop?) has evolved from a cute and girly (though sometimes daggy) tween to a budding style icon who never fails to look effortlessly chic and sophisticated, whether she’s on- or off-duty.

We’re seriously under Emma’s sartorial spell, which is why we waved our magic wand and conjured up these five ensembles inspired by the A-list actress. I’m sure we did Hermione proud.
