Emma's pixie haircut once sparked lesbian rumours

Do you like Emma Watson's pixie haircut?

When Harry Potter babe Emma Watson first chopped off her signature long locks, it was met with mixed response.

While fashion critics and girls love it, a number of guys actually think that her hotness level has decreased by several notches.

However, the strangest response came from a few members of the press, who started wondering about the 21-year-old actress's sexuality after seeing her pixie hairdo.

"I had journalists asking me if this meant I was coming out, if I was a lesbian now. That haircut did make me realize how subjective everyone’s opinion is. Some people were crazy for it and some people just thought I’d lost my (mind)," she recalled in an interview with Britain's The Independent.

Whether she looks like a lesbian or not, the comments are not going to stop the British starlet from experimenting with various styles.

"I was fully game for ‘Throw me in this, throw me in that.' The press destroyed me over this Rodarte dress I once wore — it was bright blue with chains on it. I loved it.

"I’m a multidimensional person and that’s the freedom of fashion, that you’re able to reinvent yourself through how you dress and how you cut your hair or whatever," she concluded.

Though her cropped do has been lauded as influential, Harry Potter alum Emma Watson says its initial reception wasn’t exactly constructive.

“I had journalists asking me if this meant I was coming out, if I was a lesbian now,” she tells the U.K.’s Independent. “That haircut did make me realize how subjective everyone’s opinion is. Some people were crazy for it and some people just thought I’d lost my [mind].”

The 21-year-old face of Lancôme says that her red carpet style is also hotly contested. After graduating from the Potter franchise, “I was fully game for ‘Throw me in this, throw me in that,’” she admits. “The press destroyed me over this Rodarte dress I once wore — it was bright blue with chains on it.” Still, she doesn’t consider the edgy look a mistake: “I loved it.”

But perhaps Watson has decided to tone it down as a result of the negativity. “I have to be more careful with my look in my everyday life,” she recently lamented to French Elle.

Still, she refuses to apologize for the decisions she makes. “I’m a multidimensional person and that’s the freedom of fashion,” she says, “that you’re able to reinvent yourself through how you dress and how you cut your hair or whatever.”
