We’ve seen Emmy Rossum out and about enough now that we have a pretty good grasp on her style. She has a pretty low-key personal life, and she’s usually spotted out wearing comfortable and laid-back outfits, turning to classic silhouettes dressed up with her own streamlined twist. However, Emmy will occasionally step out in something unusual and throw us all for a loop.

In December 2016, Emmy arrived at the 2016 Critics’ Choice Awards in a dark and sparkly number that was pretty uncharacteristic.

Emmy opted for a velvet-and-sequin gown from Giorgio Armani’s Fall 2016 collection. Known for her daring fashion, her plunging neckline was expected, but the use of sparkles and velvet was a pleasant surprise. She extended the glittery theme with Christian Louboutin’s ‘Top Vague’ pumps, complementing her glamorous look.

While fashion guidelines often recommend pairing a sequin dress with understated shoes, Emmy Rossum’s decision to go bold with her glittering Christian Louboutin pumps proves that, with careful styling, this approach can pay off.

Emmy not only surprised us with her outfit choice but also gave off major ’80s pop star vibes with her high ponytail, secured by a velvet scrunchie. Her look is reminiscent of a classic, chic Madonna style.

The 30-year-old made her appearance with writer-director fiancé Sam Esmail. The two were engaged in August 2015 and tied the knot on May 28, 2017, at an intimate ceremony at the Central Synagogue in New York City.

Emmy’s studded Christian Louboutin ‘Top Vague’ pumps have become a celebrity favorite, seen on style icons like Emma Stone and Gwen Stefani. Jennifer Hudson styled the Christian Louboutin ‘Top Vague’ pumps with a stunning Reem Acra Fall 2019 gown at the “Cats” world premiere.
