Emma Roberts Grows Up at the Vanity Fair Oscar Party

Have you seen Emma Roberts lately? Remember her? Julia Roberts’ niece who used to have a show in Nickelodeon? She was also in the “Nancy Drew” and “Aquamarine” movies.

The last time I saw her she was literally still a kid, so imagine my surprise when I saw this picture of her attending the Vanity Fair Oscar Party looking all grown up (or at least trying to be)!

She is 18 now. I wonder if she’s going to end up like her Aunt Julia when she gets older.

I would have to say she is quite the dresser, don’t you think? If you look at the picture, the dress she is wearing looks very timeless and elegant, while the low neckline gives it a strong sexy kick. Let’s not discount the fact that wearing such a neckline allows her the chance to show the world she’s a big girl now.

On another note, the blue color looks great on her pale skin. The colorful bejeweled neckpiece and copper toned peep-toes create a striking and beautiful contrast against all the blue of her dress.

Last but not least, the neutral black clutch is just the perfect purse choice to go with all the color. But more importantly, I commend her for choosing one that has more texture and story in it by going for a woven black clutch instead of the usual plain.

Altogether, I think this Emma look is a good 8 out of 10.

Spotted at the 2010 Golden Globes was Julia Roberts, sporting a short vintage black dress by YSL and a flashy neck piece by Van Cleef & Arpels. Judging by the size of the heavily studded gold medallion, I would say the subdued black outfit was a good choice to match with such a statement piece that simply screamed $$$$$! Everything else about her was also toned down, from the classic black satin clutch in her hand to the classic black patent pumps on her feet.

Just like Julia, we all know that the black clutch is a basic accessory every girl must have in her closet. It is the best companion to go with our LBD (little black dress) or our LBG (long black gown). And on certain occasions, the gown or dress does not even have to be black to match with the clutch.

However, because it is quite a common and basic piece of accessory, a lot of women end up sporting almost the same style of clutch. If you don’t have Julia Robert’s statement medallion and you want your black clutch to stand out instead, reinvent it by buying the woven clutch. A few good examples would be the following:

Carlo Fellini Eleanor Clutch, US$60

J. Furmani Metallic Woven Clutch, US$35

Hobo International Marbella Clutch, US$158
