Emma Roberts was effortlessly chic as she stepped out for a quick smoke break after enjoying a lowkey dinner in Hollywood on Monday. 

The Scream Queens alum, 32, who recently stunned at the Tory Burch runway show during New York Fashion Week, was spotted strolling through a quiet sidewalk with a pal after grabbing a bite to eat at La Poubelle. 

The beauty sported a black, short-sleeved dress that contained a hem that stopped just above her knees. 

She slipped into a pair of black, ankle boots that contained glittering, star embellishments with hues of pink and green for a pop of color. 

Her blonde locks were easily pulled back into a sleek bun to prevent any loose strands from falling onto her face.

Emma easily carried a small, black clutch in the crook of her arm as she strolled along a sidewalk following a tasty meal. 

The star was accompanied by a friend and had a quick smoke break for heading to her next destination for the night. 

The actress - who is mother to two-year-old son Rhodes -  opened up to InStyle earlier this month about how her sense of style has changed over the years, especially after becoming a mom. 

'I just try to keep everything pretty simple. I noticed that you can immediately transform a casual outfit into a not-so-casual outfit with a pair of hoop earrings,' she explained, later adding, 'I love being comfy.' 

'I feel like not only having a baby, but then with the pandemic and how much time I spent at home, I realized I didn't really have comfy clothes that were also cute, so I've started going more in that vein.' 

Roberts added, 'I just feel like having comfy stuff that you can mix and match and just feel comfy in but you could also still wear to the store is an art that I'm trying to master.' 

Earlier this month, Emma jetted off to the Big Apple for New York Fashion Week and turned heads in a stylish ensemble at the Tory Burch runway show. 

She showcased her stunning frame in a sleeveless dress with a corset style top and skirt that fell down past her knees. The material contained small, white floral details for an elegant flare.

While spending time in NYC, Emma joined her A-list pals Cara Delevingne and Zara Kravitz to help celebrate Jodie Turner-Smith's 37th birthday. 

Both Roberts and Delevingne star in the 12th season of the hit anthology series, American Horror Story: Delicate, which will premiere on Wednesday, September 20 on FX. 

Kim Kardashian has also been cast in the show, alongside other stars such as Billie Lourd, Denis O'Hare, Leslie Grossman, Matt Czuchry, Michaela Jaé Rodriguez, as well as Zachary Quinto. 

The anticipated season is based on the novel titled, Delicate Condition, written by Danielle Valentine. Emma tackled the role of actress Anna Victoria Alcott in the anticipated season while Kardashian portrays the character of Siobhan Corbyn.

The author of Delicate Condition, Danielle Valentine, recently opened up to Entertainment Weekly about her book which the new season is based on. 'It is essentially a horror novel about pregnancy.' 

'It's a novel exploring not just the actual physical gruesomeness of what pregnancy is, but also the medical gaslighting that even modern, very privileged women experience as they're going through their pregnancies and the symptoms that I feel we as a culture still don't talk about for strange reasons.' 

Emma herself is no stranger to the world of American Horror Story and starred in the previous seasons titled: Coven, Freak Show, Cult, Apocalypse, and also 1984. 

While part one of Delicate premieres this week on Wednesday, Roberts has been keeping busy in the world of fashion as well.
