The first official look at Emma Watson in Sofia Coppola’s The Bling Ring has appeared online.

Entertainment Weekly debuted the image, which features Watson along with other members of “the bling ring,” a real life group of celebrity-obsessed teens who burglarized homes of the famous.

Emma described her preparations for the role, saying “I just watched a ton of reality TV,” she says. “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.”

A brief synopsis:

Inspired by actual events, a group of fame-obsessed teenagers use the Internet to track celebrities’ whereabouts in order to rob their homes.

In addition to Emma, the film also stars Kirsten Dunst (Spider-Man), Leslie Mann (Knocked Up), and more. What do you think of this first look? Is it strange to see Emma look so different?
