What's the meaning of Emma Watson's tattoo?

Despite her Oscar-worthy outfit, it was Emma Watson's new tattoo that caught everyone's eye.

Watson appeared to have a tattoo dedicated to the Time's Up movement down her right forearm.

Time's Up is a movement against sexual harassment in the workplace and was founded on January 1, in response to the Harvey Weinstein storm and the subsequent #metoo campaign.

Although Emma's inking appeared real on first glance, many have deduced that it is a temporary tattoo.

What was the controversy surrounding Emma Watson's tattoo?

Emma Watson's tattoo was buzzed about on Twitter in the following days, and not just because of its message.

Many on the social media site mocked the actress, noting she had an English Literature degree.

The actress later joked back in a tweet: "Fake tattoo proofreading position available. Experience with apostrophes a must."

Did Emma Watson get a new fringe?

Emma Watson also debuted a new, choppy fringe on the night, though some thought it was too short.

Emma wore the rest of her brown hair in tousled waves.
