Emma Watson Goes Pantless For W Magazine, Says She Was Never Excited To Be Sexy

Emma Watson may be all grown up, but being a sex symbol certainly isn’t her ultimate goal.

Appearing without bottoms on the cover of W Magazine‘s June/July issue, the former Harry Potter star tells the fashion glossy that it was never in her mind to be a sexy star.

“I’ve never wanted to grow up too fast. I wanted to wear a sports bra until I was 22!” she says. “The allure of being sexy never really held any excitement for me.”

“I’ve never been in a terrible rush to be seen as a woman.”

Though the 23-year-old recently appeared in British GQ sporting what some considers the epitome of sexiness, Julia Roberts‘ famous Pretty Woman getup, Watson says she’s still uncomfortable with all the barely-there costumes she has to wear for her adult roles now.

Case in point: her latest movie, Sofia Coppola‘s The Bling Ring.

“Who wouldn’t love to go to work in Uggs and very low-slung tracksuit bottoms?” the star says her Alexis Neiers-inspired Pretty Wild attire. “At one point I told the costumer designer, ‘You can see my bra strap in this top; shouldn’t we pin it?’ And she said, ‘No, sweetie — Nicki is all about her bra strap showing.’ I was like, Right, okay, different mind-set.”
