On the red carpet, Emma Corrin has become known as a bona fide risk-taker, rocking everything from pantless Miu Miu tuxedos to trompe l’oeil Loewe balloon dresses. But while the actor has never shied away from a maximalist moment, off the carpet, they find subtler ways to make a bold statement.

For someone whose press tour style traverses the avant-garde to the ultra-glamorous, Corrin’s off-duty looks are remarkably lowkey. Today, they strolled through London’s Mayfair neighborhood in a threadbare black and silver striped tank top, which they tucked into a pair of light-wash, straight-legged blue jeans.

While a silver metallic striped tank top is already a step beyond the basics, Corrin’s accessories further zhuzhed up the look—namely, the zebra-printed belt that held up their pants. Power clashing seemed to be the theme of the day: Corrin paired their outsized brown Balenciaga bag with black leather lace-up shoes. They wore a pair of sepia-lensed, gold-rimmed sunglasses, mixed with a suite of Clash de Cartier jewelry in white gold. Corrin also carried Olivia Laing’s historical novel, The Silver Book.

An avid reader, the actor once ran an Instagram account dedicated to book recommendations, @someb00kswotiread. Take Emma Corrin’s word for it: a good book is always in style.
