As part of promotion for the March 17th release of Disney's
Beauty and the Beast, Emma Watson attended the 2017 Elle Style Awards, where she was presented with the Woman of the Year accolade yet again for her philanthropic and work to fight for gender equality.
A few photos of the
Harry Potter actress at the VIP lounge of the event, hosted at 41 Conduit Street in London, can be seen below, as well as quotes from her acceptance speech. Many congratulations to Emma on the honor!
Quote:
Emma Watson: 'I'm not sure I deserve it really, but, I'll take it.'
'It's such an honour. It's such a lovely way to begin starting to do press for Beauty and the Beast so it feels like a really nice send off.
'It feels like I'm at the end of the harbour, ready to set off on my journey and it's a nice wave from the British shores.'
'That has been the upside of the downsides of late which is difficult times, but also this emerging, very cohesive group of women that are being very vocal and showing real solidarity.'
'The fact that we managed to organise one of the most peaceful, largest protests in history, says so much about what we can achieve and about us as a group. It feels very exciting.'
