Emma Myers Channels Retro-Prep in Cosmopolitan Netherlands

On the cover, Myers leans with a playful nonchalance, her look a deliberate fusion of classic and coy. A sleeveless plaid dress, its dark checks a stark contrast to her light-hearted expression, serves as the centerpiece. It’s paired with a charmingly small, beret-like hat and a polka-dot neck scarf, accessories that lend a touch of schoolgirl charm to an otherwise grown-up look. It’s a silhouette that feels plucked from a vintage film, but executed with a modern, effortless cool.

Meanwhile, within the pages of the magazine, her styling (by Brandon Tan) takes an entirely different turn. In one shot, she’s a vision of laid-back athleticism, captured on a sunny pier in a simple tank top and shorts, holding a weight—a stark contrast to the tailored elegance of the cover. It’s a clever visual metaphor for the actress herself: an “echte romanticus” (true romantic) at heart, as the article states, but also refreshingly down-to-earth and, as she puts it, “gewoon mezelf” (just myself).

Is this not the ultimate creative expression—a fashion story that’s also a biography?

In her candid interview, Myers confesses to being “a dreamer” and “more all over the place” than her on-screen counterpart, a detail that feels perfectly reflected in this multi-faceted editorial. Her journey from Wednesday’s sidekick to a bona fide style icon is a testament to her natural magnetism, a quality that is both disarming and impossible to ignore. Photographed with an intimate gaze by Hill & Aubrey, the spread feels less like a distant celebrity feature and more like a quiet conversation with a friend.
