London, November 07: ''Harry Potter'' star Emma Watson has said she was often forced to wear bridesmaid dresses to movie premiers as she had a tough time finding suitable outfits for red carpet events when she was younger.
The 20-year-old actress, who has played Hermione Granger in the wizard franchise since the age of 11, said that she never had a stylist telling her what to wear and was left on her own to either borrow or buy a dress, reported Contactmusic.
"Everyone images stylists were on tap from the studio, but we got nothing. Sometimes I had two days'' notice before an event and there was nothing appropriate for a 14 year old to wear.
I''d look in my wardrobe and there was literally nothing. "It was either borrow from my stepmother, or go to the bridesmaid department at Harrods," said Watson.
The British actress has since fronted campaigns for the likes of Chanel and Burberry, but admitted starring in ''Harry Potter'' was restricting in terms of her style, which was instrumental in her recent decision to have her hair cut into a pixie crop. "For the nine years I was on ''Harry Potter I was contractually obliged not to cut my hair, not to tan.
All the normal things girls do, I couldn''t. So when I got the chance to change my appearance, my hair is what I did.
"I didn''t realise until afterwards how significant it was because, of course, the hair was Hermione''s defining feature," said Watson.
