The Bling Ring (2013) directed by Sofia Coppola not only impressed by the true story of a group of wealthy teenagers in Los Angeles who broke into the homes of Hollywood stars to steal luxury goods, but also by the spectacular transformation of Emma Watson. Leaving behind the image of the intelligent witch Hermione in Harry Potter, Emma transformed into Nicki – a rebellious girl, passionate about fame and a lavish lifestyle. This was one of her most daring roles at that time.
From the very first scenes, Emma Watson made it hard for the audience to take their eyes off her with her haughty and rebellious demeanor. From her sharp gaze, her provocative half-smile to her confident gestures, the character Nicki appeared lively and attractive. The costumes in the film also contributed to portraying the image of a young girl addicted to branded goods: sexy tight dresses, daring crop-tops and luxurious accessories – all exuding the “It girl” spirit of young Hollywood.
Emma skillfully combined her delicate acting with her natural charm to bring a character that is both reprehensible and unforgettable. The moments when Nicki partied all night, walked confidently in the magnificent villas or had ambitious eyes became the valuable highlights of the film.
The Bling Ring not only proved Emma Watson’s ability to transform diversely but also showed a strong maturity in choosing roles. Looking back at these scenes, fans affirmed that Emma has gone beyond the image of a “witch” to become a real and personality actress of Hollywood.
