“I’m a firm believer in karma,” purrs Emma Watson as Nicki Moore, a thinly veiled Alexis Neiers, outside a courthouse. Vuitton! Hermès! Louboutin! A montage of the real-life burgled celebrities! Hollywood, baby!.May I humbly submit to the record that this is the perfect running song? We open on a group of teens dressed in clearly expensive hoodies, breaking into a luxe home as “Crown on the Ground” by Sleigh Bells plays.In other words, it’s basically cousins with Lady Bird and Midsommar. It still seems very foreign and voyeuristic to me. The first time I went to L.A., I felt like I’d arrived on an alien planet. I grew up in the countryside in a small town in England, which couldn’t be more different than L.A. She dresses to impress, whereas when I’m not working, I usually dress to draw as little attention to myself as possible. I’m quite shy and a very private person Nicki is an exhibitionist and loves attention.

I enjoyed exploring the mind-set of someone who is my polar opposite. You feel rootless, disconnected, lost, pressured by what your friends are doing, self-conscious, image-conscious, and you really want to fit in. I think everyone can relate to those teenage years when you don’t really know who you are. What else attracted you to the character? I never met the real girl, and worked only from the script. I talked to everyone I know-my mom, my friends and, of course, Sofia-to figure out how to understand her. I wanted there to be a palpable sense of sadness and loneliness about her.

She could come across as unsympathetic, but I also tried to get the audience to identify with her, even if it’s just for a second. She’s utterly tragic and hilarious at the same time. How do you sell a line like “I could rule a country one day” and not sound completely ridiculous? I realized very quickly that my biggest challenge was to somehow make this surreal, delusional, eccentric character believable. What were the challenges that came with the part? In “The Bling Ring,” your character is loosely based on a true-life member of a group of privileged teens-turned-burglars.
