Actress Emma Watson has bloomed into a lovely lady since her days as a brainy Hermoine in the Harry Potter franchise. She has efficiently slipped into appreciated adult roles since the series ended, something her male counterparts in HP couldn't achieve. Now, she has been voted as the sexiest actress in the world, beating Avengers star Scarlett Johansson and Hunger Games star Jennifer Lawrence.

At all public appearance, Emma always turned out gracefully in feminine dresses. Her fashion sense and style are highly appreciated and so are her movie performances. Speaking to the Daily Telegraph, she said that she tries to look different from others.

'The funny thing about beauty is that you have to be careful you don't end up looking like someone else, especially in the film industry. I've noticed that throughout people's careers everyone gradually begins to look more and more alike. I admire French actresses because on the red carpet they look human - they aren't blow-dried and made-up to the point of resembling robots. That's the best thing about beauty: you can experiment with lots of colours and effects to find what works for you,” Emma Watson was quoted as saying.

To make it to the top, Emma Watson also beat Twilight actress Kristen Stewart and all time favorite Anne Hathway. Jennifer Lawrance, an Oscar winner, had generated much enthusiasm among the men with her simple but alluring portrayal of Katniss in the Hunger Games. Scarlett Johansson, on the other hand, is quite a hit with the men particularly after her Black widow act in the Avengers. And yet, Emma Watson won everyone over with her girly smiles.
