Emily in Paris’ Outfits: Lily Collins’ Best Looks So Far
From colorful coats to quirky handbags, take a look back at Emily Cooper’s most memorable fashion moments in Emily in Paris
It’s no secret that Netflix’s hit series Emily in Paris has three main characters. In addition to the series’ titular protagonist, Emily Cooper — played by Lily Collins — there’s the city of Paris itself, which provides a dreamy backdrop for all Emily’s adventures and shenanigans. And then, there’s Emily’s eccentric wardrobe, which in our opinion, is the real star of the show.
Emily’s season 1 and 2 wardrobe is the vision of costume designers Patricia Field (who previously worked on Sex and the City) and Marylin Fitoussi. “We were looking at other films and series with American girls in Paris, like Funny Face or the episodes of Gossip Girl when Blair and Serena go to France,” Collins told British Vogue in 2020 about the initial inspiration for Emily’s ensembles. “At the same time, Emily had to feel like Emily rather than a version of someone else. Patricia and I were very much on the same page about creating tributes to characters that Emily loves but making the clothes her own.”
For season 3, which premieres on Dec. 21, 2022, Fitoussi succeeded Field as the lead costume designer and opened up to WWD about Emily’s new style. “We knew we had to make an evolution,” she said. “Now we know the young American is staying in Paris. I wanted to show how much she can embrace the French culture that she has been watching for the past few seasons.”
From her now-iconic bright pink coat to her heart-patterned off-the-shoulder dress, here are Lily Collins’ best outfits on Emily in Paris so far
The Pink Coat
Emily’s bright pink Kenzo coat was the centerpiece of several season 1 outfits, from dressed-up work looks to errand-running weekend ensembles. Though season 1 premiered in 2020, the pink shade quickly became one of the trendiest colors in fashion.
