The Top 10 Moments from Emma Roberts's AD Tour
The doll wall and the time out chair made the cut, but did her Italian edition of 'A Little Life'?
As soon as I saw the words “Inside Emma Roberts’s Charming Los Angeles Home | Open Door | Architectural Digest,” I began to Lisa Barlow (physically shake). It’s a high bar to clear to enter the pantheon of great AD tours (see: Dakota Johnson, Liv Tyler, Ashley Tisdale), but I was immediately hopeful when the door, which features a panther eating a mouse as the knocker, opened and I heard the words that immediately imprinted on my soul: “Hey AD, I’m Emma Roberts.”
Whereas Vogue’s 73 Questions have gotten increasingly prescriptive and performative, an AD tour feels lower stakes in that it’s seemingly less about the celebrity and more about their home. I emphasize the seemingly as what it actually is consists of watching a celeb meander about their home yammering on about vintage lamps and antique bars that tells you more about them than you might ever get from any sit-down interview. Such was the case with Emma Roberts, who delivered big with an un-self-conscious look at her grown-up dollhouse of a home, designed by Pierce & Ward.
Without any further ado, let’s count down the top 10 moments.
