Beauty and the Beast, Harry Potter, and feminism star, Emma Watson, elegantly graced the cover of Vanity Fair in early 2017.
This photo from the spread unleashed a controversy. What ever people could claim to be upset about in this picture?
Well, people are calling her a “hypocrite" and questioning just how much of a feminist Watson — who champions women’s rights as a UN Ambassador — really is and can be if she chooses to be photographed while scantily clad.Other publications quickly rushed to objectify Watson, with The Sun publishing an article with the headline “Beauty and the breasts."
A piece in The Independent also questioned not only Watson's choices, but her agency as a woman.
Those on Twitter also got a little worked up.
Others thought people were missing the point and took the opportunity to educate them about feminism.
So what does Watson think about the criticism?
