The Best Emma Roberts Style Moments Yet
It’s no secret that we admire Emma Roberts’s style. Not only did she grace the cover of Who What Wear’s Spring Issue, but she’s also been a longtime muse and fashion icon of ours. Over the years, she has developed a signature style that remains true to her personal aesthetic, and we’ve loved seeing it evolve.
Whether she is wearing a feminine dress or casual streetwear, she puts her own spin on every look. And you can’t beat her go-to outfit of jeans, a T-shirt, and big sunglasses. Whether you’re looking for your next date-night outfit or a casual weekend look, Emma Roberts’s playful sense of style will teach you a lesson or two. There’s no question that she’s one of our favorite style influencers, but what are her best looks of all time? We’ve got them right here. Read on to see Emma Roberts’s most iconic looks, and let her outfit choices inspire you.
Is it just us, or does this feel like the longest winter ever? Until true spring weather shows up, brave the chill with colorful sweaters and boots—no winter blues here.
On Emma Roberts: Krewe CBD Blonde Tortoise + 24K Titanium Sunglasses ($295); Tanya Taylor Marta Boot ($417)
The timeless jacket style works for all seasons and occasions. The coolest way to try it come spring? As a coordinated short suit—especially rendered in a bright color. Paired with pumps, it's equal parts sophisticated and cool.
On Emma Roberts: Krewe CBD Blonde Tortoise + 24K Titanium Sunglasses ($295); Mulberry Lynton Mini Bucket Bag ($1025)
It's hard to refute the allure of a slip dress: It looks great as a standalone piece accessorized with statement accessories (à la Emma) and can also be worn come cooler weather layered with sweaters, tights, and jackets.
On Emma Roberts: Topshop Satin Slip Dress ($130); Chloé Pixie Round Bag ($1490)
For a chill look that will never go out of style, do as Roberts does and wear your Birkenstocks with leggings. Take the athleisure vibe a step further by adding a sports bra, hoodie, and baseball cap.
On Emma Roberts: Cotton On Body Spliced Sports Crop in Fun Spot ($30) and Splice Me Up 7/8 in Black/Fun Spot Leggings ($35); Love Moschino backpack; Birkenstock Arizona Sandals ($125)
Make a maxi dress look even cooler by pairing it with menswear-inspired flats. Her comfy leopard ASOS maxi is just $51.
On Emma Roberts: ASOS Twist Back Maxi Dress in Leopard Print ($51); Love Moschino backpack
The polarizing unitard trend feels a bit more effortless with a layered crop top worn over it. We love this ballerina wrap version.
On Emma Roberts: Alo Yoga Amelia Long Sleeve Crop Top ($60)
Zipper detailing and body-con silhouettes are tricky enough on their own, so successfully wearing both at the same time deserves applause. Don’t be afraid to pair two looks you love together—just consider silhouettes, color stories, and fabrication to ensure the result is a hit.
On Emma Roberts: Alice McCall dress; Stuart Weitzman Nudist Sandals ($415)
The two-piece look is still going strong three years after Taylor Swift made it a thing—bonus points for pairing it with cool structured accessories à la Roberts.
On Emma Roberts: Misa Small Jane Box Bag ($128); By Far Sienna Mules ($265)
Throw on a blazer to pull together a simple combo of jeans and a T-shirt.
On Emma Roberts: Warby Parker Winston Sunglasses ($95); Senreve Doctor Bag ($895); A.L.C. top; Citizens of Humanity Rocket High Rise Crop Skinny Jeans ($218); By Far Lada Leather Red Boots ($413)
Opt for a small retro box bag—it looks elegant and will fit all your essentials.
On Emma Roberts: Warby Parker Winston Sunglasses ($95); Madewell Backroad Button-Back Sweater (sold out); Frame Le Cropped Flare de Francoise Jeans (sold out)
Wear track pants and a bomber jacket together for an athleisure-inspired street style look.
On Emma Roberts: Adidas track pants; Needle & Thread Embroidered Embellished Crepe Bomber Jacket ($250); Dear Frances Spirit Boots ($550); Dior bag
Bring a tougher edge to a feminine floral dress by topping it with a shearling jacket and lace-up shoes.
On Emma Roberts: Coach 1941 F/W 17 jacket, dress, and bag; Fleur du Mal V-Neck Bodysuit ($265); Malone Souliers Savannah Sandals ($404)
The denim-on-denim look is a trend we can get behind. Try mixing different shades.
On Emma Roberts: Elizabeth and James McKinley Sunglasses ($185); Chloé Faye Backpack ($1990); Ralph Lauren Denim Trucker Jacket ($145); AG The Sophia Skinny Jeans ($235)
