Yay or Nay? Emma Roberts Red Carpet Style

Posted by Alexandra C. | Tuesday August 9, 2011

At a benefit in New York for the Ovarian Cancer Research Fund on July 30th, Emma Roberts stepped out in Leyendecker maxi dress. The dress features alternating horizontal panels of sheer and gauzy fabrics. She paired the long sleeve and form fitting dress with a pair of Miu Miu clog inspired sandals.

She kept her make up and hair simple and natural. Minimalist eye make up is off set with long lashes and a strong eyebrow. Her hair doesn't differ much from her usual look but I'm glad because it works for her! I like that her colour has high and low lights creating an ombre effect.

So far, I think this is one of Emma Robert's stronger looks. I like that the sheer panels are more mature, however the length of the dress keeps it from looking too tarty! She is keeping it fresh here and the white is on trend for summer. She is still young so I think playing around with fashion and finding her style is appropriate for her.

What do you think- yay or nay?

She looks a bit too plain jane washed out girl next door. And yea, it looks like something's missing. Maybe some colour? Her skin, hair and dress all are in the same colour family, makes her look sort of blah. Just my imo :)
