Emma Roberts stepped out in groovy style for day one of Coachella 2023. Styled by Brit Elkin, Roberts posed in a white slip dress on Instagram before stepping out to the music festival in Indio, Calif., on Friday.
The Crown Vintage collaborator’s outfit hailed from Prada, featuring delicate lace trim along its neckline and hem. The piece was finished with a small sheer bodice panel in the shape of Prada’s signature triangle nameplate. Roberts opted to bring her outfit a dash of bohemian flair with Monica Vinader’s $425 Keshi necklace, featuring a strand of natural pearls with a sculpted recycled gold clasp.
Roberts finished her outfit with a set of rosy pink sunglasses from Dan Levy’s eyewear brand, DL Eyewear: the $150 Atlas style, a silhouette with oval-shaped cellulose acetate frames reminiscent of the ’70s.
The “Holidate” star’s outfit was finished with a pair of jelly sandals from Melissa. Her $60 Possession style, a signature of the brand, featured clear round-toed uppers with purple undertones. The short-heeled set included flat front soles, buckled ankle straps and cutout fronts for a fisherman-style silhouette, bringing Roberts’ ensemble a whimsically retro finish. It also tapped into the current trend of fisherman sandals, whose similar bohemian shapes can be seen in new collections by Loeffler Randall, Aquatalia, Steve Madden and Gucci this spring.
Roberts’ shoe choices often vary between bohemian, contemporary and edgy styles. When off-duty, the “Adult World” actress‘ pairs range from Ferragamo platform sandals to Ugg boots, prioritizing ease and comfort. However, she frequently re-wears versatile pairs including Valentino and Alexander McQueen Chelsea boots, Frankie4 sandals and Gucci mules. When hitting the red carpet, she often dons neutral or embellished pumps, strappy sandals and boots from labels like Christian Louboutin, Prada and Chloe Gosselin.
Coachella is an annual music festival held in Indio, California, celebrating a wide range of musicians with various concerts, activations and events. This year’s performers include Blackpink, Bad Bunny, Björk, Frank Ocean, Gorillaz, Rosalia, Boygenius, Charli XCX, Calvin Harris and Willow Smith.
