Plenty of celebrities share a name, but at some point, they become so famous that it seems odd that anyone would mix them up. Such was the case for Emma Watson and Emma Roberts.
Emma Watson, best known as Hermione Granger in Harry Potter, was hilariously mistaken for Emma Roberts—star of Scream Queens and We’re the Millers—when HBO Max’s reunion special featured a childhood photo of Roberts in Mickey Mouse ears, incorrectly labeled as Watson.

The viral mix-up sparked laughs—and reminded fans how visually iconic both Emmas are, especially when it comes to personal style. Case in point: Emma Roberts’s off-duty fashion moment that followed.
Both actresses took the mix-up in stride. Watson joked on Instagram, “I was not this cute,” tagging Roberts and adding the hashtag #emmasistersforever. Roberts responded with a playful “Haha! I don’t believe that!” in her Instagram Stories.
HBO Max later acknowledged the error in the Harry Potter 20th Anniversary: Return to Hogwarts special, thanking fans for spotting it and confirming the image would be corrected. However, their tone was far more serious than the actresses’.

While the mix-up made headlines, it also reminded fans just how visually memorable both actresses are, especially regarding their style—case in point: Emma Roberts’s effortlessly chic off-duty look.

Emma added a quirky element to the look with leopard boots and kept the ensemble cool and chic with Ray-Ban round aviators and an Anya Hindmarch leather backpack.
She accessorized with gold earrings, bracelets, and a Cartier watch. The niece of Julia Roberts casually wore her red tresses down and sported barely-there makeup.
