Back in December 2012, Emma Roberts gave us a casual street-style throwback that perfectly captured the early-2010s mix of effortless cool and accessible luxury.

Spotted shopping in Beverly Hills, the actress paired an easy black long-sleeve tee and printed Band of Outsiders “Ami” pants with classic Bloch ballet flats — a nod to comfort over flash — and elevated the look with a red Coach Legacy “Penny” leather crossbody bag, one of the brand’s most recognizable styles from that era.

For readers inspired by Emma Roberts’ chic pairing of Bloch ballet flats with her casual ensemble, exploring how other celebrities incorporate flats into their red carpet looks can offer additional style inspiration.
