Do you still have reservations about wearing pajama pants in public? Guess who just rocked a pair of these for a particular function? Emma Stone did!

The actress attended a benefit luncheon wearing a Michael Kors blouse and a tandem pair of pants, as befits the event. However, Emma still stood out despite her intention to keep her outfit simple and functional for the event.

The pastel orange blouse is both demure and chic, adding a youthful flair to the actress’s look. At first glance, the pants appear to be designed for sleeping.

Upon closer inspection, the pants are crafted from exquisite lace. A misstep in styling could have led to a fashion faux pas. Yet, Emma masterfully demonstrated her keen fashion sense by complementing them with the perfect top and understated Christian Louboutin pumps.

How to Style Pajama Pants Like a Celebrity: Easy Outfit Tips

If your pajama pants are printed or decorated, wear them with a plain-colored top like Emma’s.

For a balanced ensemble that lets your printed pajama pants shine, follow Emma’s lead and pair them with a simple, solid-colored top

A contrasting color, such as soft pastel tones, is a good choice to pair with black pants. Also, keep the look stylish with a sleek pair of pumps. Easy to follow, right? This ensemble is perfect for special occasions, but it’s also suitable for work or casual outings.
