Emma Watson listed on AskMen “Most Desirable Women” for 2012

Today, AskMen.com released their Top 99 Most Desirable Women for 2012 list. Now in its 11th year, the list is annually the site’s largest feature, and helps signal shifts in the qualities men are looking for in their dream girls and celebrity crushes; over 1 million readers voted on the Top 99 in 2012.

This year, Emma Watson appeared on the list in the exact same position she was featured last year – No. 17. Emma outshined a host of A-list celebrities and models including Lady Gaga (#18), Natalie Portman (#21), and Kate Beckinsale (#22).

However, Emma is the highest ranked Briton from the more than 150,000 UK readers of AskMen.com, and is overall ranked No. 2 on their list behind only Zooey Deschanel.

Among many of Emma’s accomplishments this past year include her role in the film My Week with Marilyn, the face of Lancome, numerous magazine appearances and covers, and a new film coming out later this year with Perks of Being a Wallflower.

Even though Emma has an extremely high rating with the fashion industry, including her significant role in the design of the People Tree clothing line, she admits that her personal fashion is ‘boring.’ She said, “My problem is that I am a little bit boring. I don’t wear designer bags or big sunglasses. When I don’t have to play Emma Watson in public, I’d rather no put myself ‘out there’. I have to be more careful with my look in my everyday life.”

As a student at Oxford University in England, its good to know that she is still one of the most level-headed and intelligent actresses in the industry today.
