Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, who is always chic even in casuals, dressed up her pajama pants with an expensive-looking silk top and a designer handbag.

Alessandra Ambrosio stayed true to her boho form. She paired her pajama pants with layers and flats, and Selena Gomez made her floral-printed pair photo-op-ready with a Burberry trench coat and white stilettos.

Breaking Stereotypes: Pajama Pants on the Red Carpet

Do you still have reservations about wearing pajama pants in public? Guess who just rocked a pair of these for a particular function? Emma Stone did!

The actress attended a benefit luncheon wearing a Michael Kors blouse and a tandem pair of pants, as befits the event. However, Emma still stood out despite her intention to keep her outfit simple and functional for the event.

The pastel orange blouse is both demure and chic, giving the actress’ look a youthful flair. At first glance, the pants look like they’re meant for sleeping.

Upon closer inspection, the pants are crafted from exquisite lace. A misstep in styling could have led to a fashion faux pas. Yet, Emma masterfully demonstrated her keen fashion sense by complementing them with the perfect top and understated Christian Louboutin pumps.

2. Heidi Klum in Striped Sleepwear
