Emma Roberts Nails Casual-Chic in Jenni Kayne d’Orsay Flats and Psychedelic Pants

In July 2012, Emma Roberts rocked the same pair of Jenni Kayne d’Orsay flats as Jessica Alba. And much like Jessica, Emma paired hers with printed psychedelic pants.

Emma wore her California lifestyle brand Jenni Kayne shoes while grabbing ice cream in Los Angeles with her mom, Kelly Cunningham.

In addition to the fun Textile Elizabeth and James Deb Deb printed kaleidoscope skinny jeans, Emma sported a white t-shirt, a camel-colored leather jacket, a brown leather Christian Louboutin Justine spike stud tote, and oversized sunglasses.

The Unique Design of Jenni Kayne Flats

Jenni Kayne, a tastemaker and entrepreneur who founded her eponymous lifestyle brand in 2002 at the age of 19, is celebrated for her “California-inspired” aesthetic—characterized by neutral tones, natural materials, and effortless luxury.

Her d’Orsay flats embody that philosophy: the pointy vamps and cutaway silhouette reimagine the classic ballet flat as a timeless staple, perfectly aligned with her brand’s focus on laid-back yet polished essentials that can be worn season after season.

Just as Jenni Kayne built a reputation for timeless California style, Emma Roberts was simultaneously carving out her own space in Hollywood. Her breakout came in Nick Moore’s 2008 teen comedy Wild Child, where she played Poppy Moore at 16—a fitting role for someone the same age.

While the film made headlines for her on-screen chemistry with co-star Alex Pettyfer, the more enduring story is Roberts’ longevity: over two decades of evolving roles spanning teen comedies, indie dramas, and countless fashion-forward red carpet appearances.

She made her acting debut at the age of nine in the 2001 film Blow. This was her very first audition and a notable start, especially given her Hollywood lineage—her father is actor Eric Roberts, and her aunt is Academy Award winner Julia Roberts.
