Emma Roberts has long dressed in a way that feels both polished and personal. There is usually a trace of old Hollywood glamour in her wardrobe, but it is often softened by something more romantic, textured, or slightly undone.
That balance is what makes her style so compelling. Across these three appearances, spanning 2014 to 2023, she moves from classic Oscar-party drama to bohemian Paris Fashion Week dressing and back again to sleek evening elegance, all while preserving the feminine sensibility that gives her fashion choices continuity.

If the Vanity Fair look leaned into polished screen-siren glamour, her Paris Fashion Week appearance revealed the softer, more bohemian side of her style vocabulary.

Emma Roberts accessorized her outfit with Chloé’s multicolored stone-and-pearl drop earrings to complete her boho-chic look. She carried the brand’s new braided Penelope leather satchel priced in a light tan hue.
For footwear, the “Scream Queens” star opted for Chloé’s Noua lace-up combat boots. They featured a smooth black leather upper with rounded capped toes, monochrome laces, lightly ridged soles, and light beige outsole stitching that added a charming DIY-like touch.
These boots perfectly complemented Gabriela Hearst’s elegantly boho vision for the brand.
Where her Chloé look embraced texture, layering, and a relaxed sense of luxury, this earlier Vanity Fair appearance showed Emma at her most direct: bold, coordinated, and unapologetically glamorous.
