Knowledge isn’t power – POWER is power. (And fabness is power too.)
EMMA WATSON vs. KIERNAN SHIPKA

Emma’s top and skirt by Christopher Kane, shoes by Gianvito Rossi; Kiernan’s top and skirt by Miu Miu, shoes by Jimmy Choo
EMMA: Oh, is there to be a melee today?
KIERNAN: But of course, Lady Emma! Only the most powerful will survive!
Emma’s dress by Antonio Berardi; Kiernan’s dress, purse, and shoes by Prada
EMMA: And you think you’re the most powerful, do you, Lady Kiernan?
KIERNAN: I do, Lady Emma. I am quite knowledgable, and knowledge is power.
Emma’s jumpsuit by J. Mendel, shoes by Gianvito Rossi; Kiernan’s dress by Valentino, shoes by Jimmy Choo
EMMA: Knowledge is not power. Power is power. And fabness is power.
KIERNAN: Well, I’ve got that too. Now, I think you’d better call your squire to help you don your armor for the tourney.
Emma’s dress by Chanel, shoes by Giuseppe Zanotti; Kiernan’s dress by Preen
EMMA: My impeccable style is my armor; my flawless makeup, my shield.
KIERNAN: Oh. Well, best of luck with all that.
Emma’s dress by Maxime Simoens, shoes by Proenza Schouler; Kiernan’s dress by MaxMara, purse and shoes by Christian Louboutin
EMMA: What of you, Lady Kiernan? Do you plan on wearing a suit of armor for the melee?
KIERNAN: Well, I’m afraid that if I don’t –

EMMA: Afraid? AFRAID?! Oh, my sweet summer child, what do you know about fear?
KIERNAN: I know plenty –
Emma’s dress and shoes by J. Mendel; Kiernan’s jacket, pants, purse, and shoes by Emporio Armani
EMMA: You know NOTHING, Lady Kiernan. Fear is for the championship round, for the final two, for the moment where one of you will die and the other will live forever as the singers write songs of your triumph. I have survived such a storied battle not once, but twice.
KIERNAN: But how, Lady Emma? How did you win March Fabness two years in a row? How did you come to be the legendary style warrior that you are today?
Emma’s suit by Saint Laurent, purse by Reese Hudson, shoes by Christian Louboutin; Kiernan’s dress by Valentino, shoes by Christian Louboutin
EMMA: Surely, you already know. You said it yourself, you are a smart girl. It’s your only redeeming quality – that, and your cheekbones.
KIERNAN: Um, thanks? I think? But I’m still not sure I know the answer.
Emma’s gown by Prabal Gurung; Kiernan’s top and skirt by Honor, shoes by Chloé
EMMA: Tell me this, then: what do we say to the God of Bad Style?
KIERNAN: “Not today.”
Emma’s gown by Wes Gordon; Kiernan’s dress by Valentino, shoes by Jimmy Choo
EMMA: That is correct, Lady Kiernan. Now, yield, and bend the knee, and perhaps I will permit you to escape this battle with your life.
KIERNAN: But – I – you can’t –
Emma’s gown by Oscar de la Renta, purse by Roger Vivier, shoes by Christian Louboutin; Kiernan’s dress by Delpozo, shoes by Jimmy Choo
EMMA: Has anyone ever told you you’re as boring as you are ugly?
KIERNAN: No, but I can only assume that means I’m positively fascinating.
Emma’s gown by Chanel; Kiernan’s dress by Delpozo
EMMA: See how far cleverness gets you, Lady Kiernan. Now, bend the knee, or this will be the last time you have knees.
KIERNAN: NEVER! I will die before I yield to you, Lady Emma.
Emma’s gown by Christian Dior, shoes by Roger Vivier; Kiernan’s dress by Dolce & Gabbana, shoes by Christian Louboutin
EMMA: Fine, then. You’re a fool to think you can survive this battle. Say a final prayer to the God of Bad Style, as it may be your last.
KIERNAN: “Not today.”
