Her ensemble featured a bright green palette from the Coach 1941 Resort 2017 collection.
The outfit consisted of a printed blouse tucked into a black studded leather mini-skirt, layered with a matching green satin bomber jacket.

By keeping her jewelry minimal and her hair in loose, center-parted waves, the focus remained on the leather’s texture and the bold color of the outerwear.

Julia Roberts’s niece rounded out her look with pink lipstick and bronze eye makeup.
To counterbalance the toughness of the studded leather and sharp-edged styling, Emma grounded the look with the Saint Laurent “Paris” pumps—one of the defining silhouettes of the Hedi Slimane era, when the house pivoted toward a leaner, rock-inflected identity under the “Saint Laurent Paris” name.
Emma Roberts pairs a vivid green satin bomber and studded leather mini skirt with sleek black pointed-toe Saint Laurent pumps, the sharp 110mm stilettos adding a polished, leg-lengthening finish to the edgy look
Unlike more conventional pointed pumps, the Paris 110 is cut with a notably low vamp, revealing just a hint of toe cleavage to visually lengthen the leg, while its elongated, dagger-like toe and razor-thin stiletto create a stark, almost severe line.
Emma’s patent-leather pair amplifies that effect, the high-shine finish holding the shoe’s sharp structure and echoing the glossy, high-contrast attitude that defined Slimane’s tenure.

At 110mm (approximately 4.3 inches), the heel is unapologetically steep, but it’s precisely this height—paired with the shoe’s stripped-back, logo-free design—that cemented the Paris pump as a modern “power heel.”
It marked a clear departure from the platform-heavy silhouettes of the 2000s, replacing them with something leaner, more directional, and enduringly relevant.
You can find the latest iterations of Saint Laurent pumps at Mytheresa and Nordstrom.

As this look makes clear, the Saint Laurent “Paris” pump was never just a basic black heel. Its razor-sharp silhouette, low-cut vamp, and lean stiletto gave even the most romantic or polished outfits a harder, more directional finish.
