New York City was the location for the second major premiere of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1 in a few days, following on the heels of the World Premiere Gala in London Thursday night.

Emma stole the show on the red carpet in London wearing a revealing black lace and feather dress and followed that up with another black number tonight, this time electing to go with a sleek and elegant full-length backless number with a seam right down the middle.

Is it just me or does it seem like Emma is doing everything she can to distance herself from her “child star” identity by dressing and getting a hairstyle that make her look more mature? And is it just me or is what she’s doing really working?!? Kudos to Emma on another successful stroll down one the red carpet of one of the most highly publicized film releases of the year!
