Sometimes, simple is best. Just ask Emma Roberts.

The Nickelodeon star was spotted shopping at the West Hollywood Kate Spade store about a week ago in a simple, ’80s-inspired, and chic ensemble.

Emma wore a black fitted scoop-neck, long-sleeved top, and high-waisted jeans from Paper Denim & Cloth. The separates were no-fuss and the kind you can easily find in your closet. Do you like how the actress styled her jeans?

Julia Roberts’s niece punctuated the look with black Made Eyewear Skylar sunnies and a black mini bag. The “Scream Queens” actress finished her ensemble with ankle strap sandals.

This look is easy enough to duplicate. Just grab a simple black top and some skinny jeans from your closet, and pair both pieces with an eye-catching pair of sandals.
