Emma Watson‘s super-stylist, Anita Patrickson, answered your questions regarding how to dress for this season — and whether you’re long and lean, curvy, or pear-shaped there’s a way to work the hottest trends of the season. Find out what Anita says should be on everyone’s fall must-have list — and how you can use it to enhance your figure!

What can’t we be without this fall?
“Fall is all about delicious Bordeaux colored pieces, black lace, fur accents, gauzy fabrics and NEON!”

“Geometric patterns are definitely a big trend this fall, especially Native American Indian patterns. Go bold with a patterned dress paired with tights and shearling booties. If that’s all a bit intense for you, choose one item like a scarf to be the focus of your look or a little more subtle with a fabulous glamazon geometric necklace to dress up a crewneck sweater and pants.”

“Weekend casual for me is all about great knits. Graphic color blocked retro prints will keep you on trend even on your days off.”

“Don’t forge to accessorize! Find a fabulously bold cocktail ring or a colorful clutch to brighten up your look. Bright pops of color are definitely still a must this season!”

If I’m super skinny or curvy, what current trends should I use to enhance my figure?
“Show off your curves with a lean riding jacket that you can cinch in at the waist, pair with a pair of skinny pants and a fabulous pair of lace up booties. Showcase your gorgeous gams and keep warm with a pair of burgundy opaque tights under shorts or skirts. Maxi skirts and dresses are bang on trend this season so load up and enjoy! Darker colors are more flattering and you can jazz them up with a chunky knit cardigan or a colorful scarf and big jewelry. Color blocking is still very on trend so take advantage and play around with the colors and shapes and go for a bright loose blouse paired with a tighter fitted a pencil skirt and big gold jewelry.”

“If you are super skinny then a lot of the draped dresses we’re seeing this season will be a fabulous way to give you some shape. High-waisted pants are a real trend this fall and they really are gorgeous on a tall slim body type. A long, slim-fitted dress with colorful horizontal lines is fun and flirty and something that pretty much only your body type will be able to get away with! We’ll try not to look at you and turn green with envy! I love the look of menswear on a skinny frame, just be sure to add a feminine touch with a sexy cami or a cozy cashmere.”

The Harry Potter saga may be coming to an end, with the final flick Harry Potter & The Deathly Hallows: Part 2 currently in theaters — but Emma Watson looked better than ever on the red carpet. There’s no denying the fact that the stylish young star is a seasoned pro — and having the help of leading Hollywood stylist Anita Patrickson certainly doesn’t hurt! Anita said Emma is a dream client — and working with the star on the momentous promotional tour was extra special.

“It’s a really big deal, it’s the end of a chapter for her, the end of her adolescence,” Anita said. “It was a big moment for the movie, a big fashion moment, and a big emotional moment. I just wanted her to feel amazing and walk out feeling 100% fabulous and she did. She was really happy and so was I.”

Anita said finding the perfect looks didn’t take as long as one would think. Emma knew exactly what she wanted the second she tried on the dresses — and there definitely weren’t a lack of options! “We literally had like 70 gowns, but the Oscar de la Renta she wore in London was the first thing she put on. She was like, ‘OMG I love it.’ For London we wanted something very classic and elegant, something in size that could match the massive premiere — it was dramatic and ethereal, almost like Grace Kelly but with a twist.”

I couldn’t imagine walking around in the stunning ballgown — and Anita admitted it wasn’t the easiest dress to slip into! “We wound up taking over a conference room in the Pittsburgh hotel where we held our fittings because everything didn’t fit. It’s a weird concept to have these fabulous dresses shipped over from Milan, landing in Pittsburgh.”

After the premiere, Emma slipped into an Elie Saab cocktail dress that was just as gorgeous, (yet a bit more practical), than her breathtaking gown from the premiere — and it turns out Anita and Emma were waiting to find the right moment to debut the dress! “I’ve been holding that dress for her for a couple of months,” Anita said. “She first tried it on for the MTV Movie Awards but it wasn’t quite right — although it was such an amazing, amazing dress so I held onto it. For the premiere it fit in really well. It was the perfect option for her to change into.

While Emma looked like something out of a gorgeous, high-fashion fairy tale in London, they wanted a totally different look for the NYC premiere. “We went for something completely different. It was edgier, funkier, sleeker — it was unlike anything I’ve ever come across.”

Sure, the star looked stunning — but it turns out she got glam in no time at all! Anita said she had to rush right after Letterman. “From door to door with travel time factored in she had 50 minutes on the dot. Right after Letterman she had to rush back to change, it was literally like a military operation!”

Emma always looks perfect but in reality she’s human, just like us — and she almost fell victim to a major style blunder! “Emma was eating pancakes before heading over to the Today Show — but neither of us realized she got maple syrup on her dress until we got there. I thought it was water at first, but luckily we managed to clean it up in time. I was like, ‘EMMA!’ but it didn’t seem to phase her.”

We can’t even imagine what it’s like working with Emma, but Anita described her dream client as best as she could. “She’s incredibly classic and she can really pull anything off. I’ve never met a girl who can wear anything and everything with grace and style. It’s incredible working with her on all levels — and I would really have to mess up on my job to make her look bad!”
