Don't let the sexy magazine cover fool you, Emma Watson isn't rushing into adulthood.

"I never wanted to grow up too fast. I wanted to wear a sports bra until I was 22!" the Harry Potter star says in the latest issue of W magazine. "The allure of being sexy never really held any excitement for me. I've never been in a terrible rush to be seen as a woman."

But grown up, she has. As little Hermione Granger is no where to be found as the actress poses pantless for the magazine's June/July cover.

Although she looks comfortable modeling a sultry LBD inside the issue, the actress says she had to get used to the risqué wardrobe while filming Bling Ring.  "At one point I told the costumer designer, 'You can see my bra strap in this top; shouldn't we pin it?' And she said, 'No, sweetie—Nicki is all about her bra strap showing.' I was like, Right, okay, different mind-set."

Not that Watson hasn't had her share of sexy moments on the red carpet. Most recently the actress showed quite a bit of skin in a cutout Prabal Gurung number at the 2013 Met Gala.
