As far as Emma Watson stans go, little me was a fanatic. I knew everything from the names of her cats to what she did for her 5th birthday party, and bearing in mind, this was pre-Instagram and pre-twitter, we didn't have the access to celebs personal lives like we do now. Let me put it this way, Iheartwatson.net was above Facebook (our only core social media back then) as my most visited internet page. So, the second I saw this hairstyle on her Insta story I was instantly transported to obsessing over teen Emma.

While she's spent most of her adult years with pixie cuts, choppy layers and whispy bobs (which she does in fact have now), back in the 00's Emma was partial to a soft curl, a loose golden wave, and even bouncy big curls just like these Old Hollywood movie star curls she just wore to an event for her and her brother Alex's new gin brand Renais.

While the whole world knows teen Hermione, her being her actual teen self is less familiar. Magazine shoots and premieres in my mental catalogue started flooding back. I mean just look at her twinning back in 2008 at the Tales of Despareaux premiere, when she would have been 18. You may have missed this movie but you probably have seen that meme of the little white mouse in bed with the massive ears? This movie. (Told you I was a fanatic.)

Or going back to 2015 when a 15 year old Emma attended a party celebrating Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire's release.

You can see why I was obsessed. Cutest human ever (with the most versatile hair) and she hasn't changed a bit.
