Emma Watson Unrecognizable in 'Bling Ring'

Emma Watson, is that you?!

The super-classy British actress masquerades as a spoiled, Los Angeles wannabe in this first official still from Sofia Coppola's highly anticipated The Bling Ring, which is based on the highly publicized real-life story of a group of already-wealthy teenagers who burglarized the homes of several celebrities including Paris Hilton and Rachel Bilson.

''I just watched a ton of reality TV,'' she tells Entertainment Weekly about how she prepared for the very un-Hermione role. ''I was doing an English course [at Brown University]. So I would go from reading Virginia Woolf to [watching] Kim Kardashian. I kind of loved it, this mix of super-high and super-low culture. I think it was a nice balance.''
