Emma Watson is a woman of many accomplishments. She's been cast as a Disney princess (in Beauty and the Beast, naturally), graduated from an Ivy League school, and has launched a global gender equality movement for the United Nations with HeforShe. And sartorially she's just as prolific, wearing suits, gowns, and LBDs perfectly. And she's achieved all of this by age 30. In honor of her upcoming birthday, behold her best looks.
