J. K. Rowling attended this evening’s London premiere of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2 wearing a strapless rose-patterned gown from Oscar de la Renta’s spring 2011 collection, which she accessorized with a matching pink rose pin, pink earrings, and a pink clutch. Meanwhile, Emma Watson also chose Oscar, but her dress had a beaded gray bodice and a tiered tulle skirt. Emma got a little teary-eyed on the red carpet, but luckily her skirt has lots of room for her to stash extra Kleenex (as she appears to be showing Rowling in this photo).

So, are Rowling’s matchy pinks a bit too much? Does Emma’s skirt make her look like she’s riding on a rain cloud? Whose Oscar looks better?
