OH. EM. GEEEEEEE.

As well as already looking like a princess, Emma has been winning hearts from all over the world with her passionate gender equality speeches. The Brown University graduate has been a regular speaker at the HeForShe press conferences, moving audiences with her strong yet kind words.

Well, she IS a Beauty...

And now she's also Belle, the princess with the glossy brunette locks, golden gown and penchant for beardy beasts!

Emma, we didn’t think it was possible to heart you more than we already do. We were wrong. Oh-so-very wrong.
