In May 2016, Aquamarine actress Emma Roberts stepped out to help promote the second season of her TV series “Scream Queens” during the 2016 Fox Upfront Presentation held at Central Park in New York City.

10 years earlier, she starred as Claire Brown in the 2006 American teen fantasy romantic comedy film Aquamarine. She also recorded “Island in the Sun,” a song by the American rock band Weezer, for the Aquamarine soundtrack.
For her performance in the film, Emma won a 2007 Young Artist Award for Best Supporting Young Actress in a Feature Film.
Filmed in Australia, the only other American actors in the movie are Joanna “JoJo” Levesque, Sara Paxton, Arielle Kebbel, and Jake McDorman.

“My character is named Claire and she’s totally opposite of me. She’s really shy and really afraid of everything and doesn’t want to take any chances. But it’s fun to play a character that’s not like yourself,” Roberts told Seventeen about her character in the movie.
“Probably the beaches – they were so nice there,” she added about her favorite thing about Australia. “And we had the beach right across the street from the apartment building we were staying in so we went swimming in the ocean every day.”

When principal photography for the movie began in Australia in February 2005, Emma Roberts was 13 years old.
She celebrated her 14th birthday on February 10, 2005, and was 15 years old when the film was released in the United States on March 3, 2006.

At the 2016 Fox Upfront Presentation Party at Central Park’s Wollman Rink in New York City, the then-25-year-old actress opted for a demure but fashion-forward look, teaming a ribbed white bandeau top with a yellow textured mid-length skirt, both by Victoria Beckham.
She glammed up the feminine look further with a few accessories, including a layered necklace by Dana Rebecca, a pair of diamond stud earrings, and a blush round purse by Charlotte Olympia.
She wore her shiny red tresses straight and down, both sides parted and tucked behind her ears. Emma kept her makeup fresh and pretty with pink lipstick, blush, and dark eyeliner.

Emma complemented the ladylike ensemble with an edgy pair of strappy suede Hutton pumps by Nicholas Kirkwood. They feature cutouts at the sides, triple slim buckled straps, pointed toes, and four-inch stiletto heels.
We found these Nicholas Kirkwood pumps in blue suede material at Farfetch and SSENSE.
