Emma Roberts's $70 Zara Find Is the Perfect Fall Dress

I've said it before and I've said it again—Emma Roberts finds the best affordable clothes. I don't know her personally but something I love about her is that she clearly loves to shop as much as I do, and I'm a fashion editor. While pregnant, Roberts has continued to display her always chic street style, oftentimes opting for pieces with attainable price points. Case in point: her new Zara dress.
While out in Los Angeles recently, Roberts wore the ultimate L.A. girl fall outfit: a long-sleeve dress and ankle boots The burgundy polka dot dress and snake boots were a lesson in print mixing, and it's always good to see a Zara dress IRL. Roberts' Bordeaux-colored midi dress with its smocked bodice, flowing skirt, and balloon sleeves is one you'll likely wear on repeat this fall—especially since you can easily slip a coat or oversized cardigan on when it's chilly. Additionally, it's very reasonably priced and comfortable (thanks to the smocking). All sizes are currently in stock, so scroll to snag one before everyone else does, along with some other great fall dresses from Zara.
