Styled by Brit Elkin and Kara Smith, Emma also sports ready-to-wear and accessories by Altuzarra, Bottega Veneta, CELINE, Ferragamo and Saks Fifth Avenue Collection.

In an exclusive interview on The Edit, Emma discusses how she incorporates this season's top trends into her everyday wardrobe and how she has adapted her personal style to dress for the many aspects of her busy life. In videos on the Saks Instagram (@saks) and YouTube (Saks) channels, Emma shares her favorite spring styles from Saks for several day-to-day events in her life including a Belletrist book club meeting, a wrap party, a day on set as a producer, and a Sunday with her son.

To further amplify the campaign, Saks is partnering with digital fashion publication Who What Wear on an online feature showcasing Emma's must-have spring selections from Saks and will run ads in Vogue, Harper's Bazaar and The New York Times.

On her must-have item to wear all the time, Emma shares: "Anything leopard. At any point in time, no matter what season it is, everyone should have at least one leopard item in their rotation whether it's a jacket, a shoe or even a great pair of leopard print jeans." On how her personal style has evolved since becoming a mother, Emma adds: "It's always hard to describe your own style because the way people see you and the way you see yourself can be so different. I'm trying to have more fun with fashion. I think there are times to be serious with it – and then times to just really mix it up."
