I'm a very big fan of what Maya Erskine and stylist Rebecca Grice have been cooking up together lately. Every polished yet off-kilter daytime look Grice put Erskine in for the Mr. & Mrs. Smith press tour went straight to my saved folder on Instagram. The cherry red Sandy Liang skirt suit with sheer red tights and matching red Mary Janes? Perfect. The soft Khaite sweater and chunky gold earring combination for The Today Show? Divine. And her brown tweed Acne Studios jacket she wore on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon will haunt my dreams forever because it's no longer in stock, but I think there's a lesson for all of us in the way she's wearing it: with a striped blue button-up, chunky gold earrings, and a pink lip.

At the 2024 Emmys on Sept. 15, we got a rare glimpse of Maya Erskine going full glam. The Mr. & Mrs. Smith actor wore a sheer nude gown by Rodarte with beaded branches and white floral appliqués climbing up the skirt, as well as puffed sleeves and a delicate ruffle around the neckline. She accessorized the soft, feminine look with a scalloped diamond choker necklace, a diamond bracelet, a large pearl cocktail ring, and a juicy swipe of raspberry-colored lipstick.

The look is very reminiscent of the sheer nude Khaite dress Erksine wore to the 71st Annual Primetime Creative Arts Emmy Awards in 2019.

Erskine's nod for Mr. & Mrs. Smith at tonight's ceremony marks her third Emmy nomination. The first two were for “PEN15,” the Hulu comedy she co-created, wrote and starred in for two seasons.

In an August interview ahead of the awards show, Erskine told The Hollywood Reporter, "I just feel like I’ve won already. Being nominated is like, ‘What! That’s so insane.’ I feel like I can lie down now, I’m good."

Hanna Lustig is a staff writer at Marie Claire, where she gets to gab every day about the topics she holds most dear: fashion, beauty, and celebrity. Hanna’s editorial journey began with formative internships at Elle and InStyle, where she was lucky enough to work for some of the smartest women in media while she was still in college at the University of Tennessee. Hanna then accepted a digital culture reporting fellowship at Insider, where she helped carve out a new beat dedicated to covering influencers. Those experiences later served her well as a staff writer at Glamour, where she developed a knack for spinning quick turnaround celebrity news and trend reporting into juicy feature stories. Some of her greatest hits include an earnest ode to the no-pants trend, this meticulously reported feature exploring the rise of endoscopic facelifts, this snappy take on the Chanel-designed fantasy of Sofia Richie’s wedding, this tribute to WAGs past and present, and this timeline of Katie Holmes’s life and career as told through her denim collection.

Diane Keaton once hung up on Hanna during an interview, but thankfully that mishap did not derail what has otherwise been a deeply fulfilling career writing for and about women. As one of Marie Claire's resident experts on style and culture, her current coverage ranges from exploring TikTok's contrast makeup theory and the return of the boat shoe trend to interviews with costume designers for hit shows like Nobody Wants This and The Penguin. When she’s not at work, Hanna can probably be found listening to pop music, talking to her dog, and gossiping with her best friends.
