This Outfit Proves You Can Wear Jeans to a Party and Be the Smartest in the Room

If you always prefer to wear jeans to a party, then Emily Ratajkowski just wore the perfect outfit combo for you. Last night the model chose a pair of straight-leg jeans with ripped hems and paired them with a cropped, silky pyjama-inspired kimono top by The Kooples held in place with a pearl- and crystal-embellished belt looped around her waist, making it look fitted, rather than oversized and casual. Emily then went for an eclectic styling by adding a clashing leopard-print tote bag, which is from her own collaboration with The Kooples. To smarten up the look, she wore a pair of two-strap black sandals and her hair in a Bardot-style half updo. Keep scrolling to see how Emily dressed up her jeans.
