Look cool in Emma's mesh co-ords by Jonathan Simkhai

She’s growing up to be quite the red carpet fashionista, and Emma Roberts didn’t fail to mesh-merize us for her Scream Queens promotional appearance.

The elegant 24-year-old stunned in her stylish monochrome coordinates plucked from Jonathan Simkhai’s autumn/winter 2015 collection, and we love how she’s altered them slightly to cover up a bit more leg. Very classy!

The dainty pencil skirt style separates feature an asymmetric top with sporadic mesh detailing, and have a slightly edgy aura about them with their rough-around the edges material – which is explained when you compare it to the rest of Simkhai’s slightly dark and moody fall collection.

Sadly, however, if you're after the look for less, then check out the edit below which features our top mesh-style pencil coordinates from the likes of Boohoo, Missguided and more.

We'll be styling our pair with some strappy platform sandals to give it a further lift.

At the event she was joined by the upcoming Fox series' co-stars, including Lea Michele, who wore a striking crimson mini dress with matching heels. 

The knockouts posed for an Instagram photo together and puckered their pouts for air kisses. 

'#ScreamQueens Upfronts #fox @msleamichele,' Emma captioned the snap. 

It was quite the exciting time for the actresses as they promoted the new Fox program - and it could have been one of the many topics they discussed when they were seen having a deep conversation at a table.

Wearing the same dress, Emma added a snap to her Instagram page where she's seen posing alongside sorority girls clad in her Scream Queens character's Greek letters. 

She wrote in the caption: '#ScreamQueens #Kappa #ChanelOberlin.'

In the role of Chanel Oberlin, she stars as a sorority leader opposite Lea Michele, Abigail Breslin, Keke Palmer, and guest stars Nick Jonas, Niecy Nash and Ariana Grande. Jamie Lee Curtis takes on the role as a college dean of students.

The Ryan Murphy comedy-drama centers around a string of murders at Wallace University.

The series has been described as: 'Kappa House, the most sought-after sorority for pledges, is ruled with an iron fist by Chanel Oberlin (Emma Roberts). 

'But when anti-Kappa Dean Munsch (Jamie Lee Curtis) decrees that sorority pledging must be open to all students, and not just the school’s silver-spooned elite, all hell is about to break loose, as a devil-clad killer begins wreaking havoc, claiming one victim, one episode at a time.'

It is expected to debut on Fox this fall.
