Are you even a little bit surprised that Emma Watson is so totally awesome she’s been bestowed with one of the highest of all honours this week?
Yep, even better than graduating from Hogwarts, our very own Hermione has been crowned Woman of the Year 2017 at the Elle Style Awards, and we are SO proud.
Given all the charity work and activism Emma gets up to in her spare time, her insane CV and an amazing attitude towards feminism, it’s hardly surprising that Elle decided she was deserving of such a title.
But what exactly makes her the #1 lady on the planet, though? Uhh hello!? PRETTY MUCH EVERYTHING.
Just in case you need convincing why she totally deserved this award, here’s every reason to prove Emma Watson is the ULTIMATE Queen.
1. She kicked ass during her Elle Style Awards acceptance speech
This is not a year we will allow yourself to be silent. This is the year that women’s voices are heard.
2. She continued the good fight for equality at this year’s Women’s Marches
