Emma Roberts Masters Monochromatic Dressing in Carolina Herrera & Philosophy Di Lorenzo Serafini

In January 2023, Emma Roberts leaned into the timeless charm of the romantic comedy for the release of Maybe I Do.

Starring alongside a powerhouse ensemble including Richard Gere, Diane Keaton, Susan Sarandon, and William H. Macy, the Wild Child actress brought a modern edge to the genre’s classic tropes.

Directed by Michael Jacobs, the film explores the relationship of Michelle (Roberts) and Allen (Luke Bracey) as they navigate the complexities of marriage.

During the film’s New York City press tour, Roberts transitioned from the screen to the spotlight, showcasing a series of sophisticated, monochromatic looks curated by stylists Brit and Kara Elkin—the same duo behind Hilary Duff’s wardrobe.

Emma Roberts Masters Monochrome in Carolina Herrera Pumps on Watch What Happens Live

While appearing on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen, Roberts demonstrated how to master one of the season’s most tactile trends: the architectural flower corsage.

The American actress flaunted her shoulders in a Carolina Herrera Spring/Summer 2023 ruffled silk blouse with tulle sleeves, ruffled trims, and a relaxed, cropped fit. In addition, the sheer number featured the trendy rosette corsage placed right below the halter neck tie.

Continuing the outfit’s monochromatic theme, Emma paired her top with black flared trousers and matching pumps. Outside the studio, she was pictured bundled up in a long black coat.

A pair of stud earrings, heavy mascara, pink lipstick, and a low ponytail rounded out her look.

Emma Roberts Goes Head-to-Toe Red in Matching Sandals at Maybe I Do Screening

That same day, Roberts opted for yet another monochromatic statement in a vibrant red maxi dress for the screening of Maybe I Do held at Crosby Street Hotel.

She looked elegant in the one-shoulder red dress from Philosophy Di Lorenzo Serafini’s Spring 2023 collection, made from sheer chiffon fabric with front buttons, asymmetric elbow-length sleeves, and a ruched bodice that flows into a sheer, softly pleated ankle-length skirt.

Keeping the look seamlessly coordinated, the actress matched her open-toe red sandals precisely to the hue of her dress and her $2,200 Khaite “Lilith” suede bag.

The tonal approach extended to her beauty choices as well, with bold red lipstick echoing the head-to-toe palette.

By committing to a true column of color, Roberts created a streamlined, elongating effect—an especially smart styling move given the dress’s voluminous, tiered silhouette. Fred Leighton diamond earrings, a statement ring, and softly defined makeup finished the look with polish rather than excess.

Emma Roberts’ red-on-red styling has plenty of pedigree on Your Next Shoes. For example, Mindy Kaling radiated confidence in a head-to-toe scarlet Michael Kors suit with matching Louboutin pumps, proving monochrome isn’t just bold but powerful on the red carpet.

Likewise, Anne Hathaway continued the monochromatic theme with a radiant red Versace gown and red Manolo Blahnik BB suede pumps during her press tour, showing how matching footwear elongates the silhouette.

And at the Eternity premiere, Elizabeth Olsen brought fiery glamour in a red Miu Miu dress with glossy red Le Silla pumps — another standout example of cohesive color-from-head-to-toe styling.

Even Rita Ora’s NYC press tour featured a moment of scarlet flair with statement red knee-high boots anchoring her look, illustrating that bold footwear can define a vibrant outfit just as effectively as matching dress hues.

The YNS guide to choosing shoes for red dresses breaks down why tonal dressing works so well, showing how matching red footwear to a red outfit creates a continuous visual line that subtly elongates the figure while delivering a chic, high-impact monochrome effect.

Emma Roberts has described working with Richard Gere in Maybe I Do as a “full-circle” moment, calling it surreal to have Gere and Diane Keaton play her on-screen parents after growing up watching their classic romantic comedies.

She noted that sharing the screen with Hollywood icons—including Susan Sarandon—pushed her to arrive on set especially prepared, joking that any blooper “wasn’t going to be because of me.”
