Emma Watson's Public Image

Watson has often been cited as a role model, though she shies away from the term, stating that "it puts the fear of god into [her]" Her impact on teenage girls' view of women's rights has been referred to as the "Emma Watson effect", with respondents from a National Citizen Service survey stating that her work in activism had inspired them to label themselves feminists. In her initial post-Harry Potter career, she was noted to focus on smaller films rather than big-budget studio films. Adam White of The Independent states that Watson's acting style possesses "a very human sensitivity and quiet strength." Describing Watson's off-screen persona, Derek Blasberg of Vanity Fair has called her "shy", "friendly, intelligent, and down to earth." Steinem has described her as "way more like a real person than a movie star", while author bell hooks considers her to be part of "a very different, new breed who are interested in being whole and having a holistic life, as opposed to being identified with just wealth and fame." Her gamine hairstyle, pale skin, and slight physique have been noted as her trademarks.
