Set in the city of love and fashion, we’re all ready to rendezvous with Emily in Paris (2020-) for the fourth time around. Divided into two parts, Lily Collins returns as Emily Cooper for season 4 on Netflix (the first part dropped on 15 August). The show centres around the chaotic life of an ever-enthusiastic marketing whiz from America who lands her dream job in the fashion-forward capital. Needless to say, we have always been a tad bit more excited about the outfits in the series, which are in a different league altogether since the first time the show aired.
Fashion is a language the series speaks fluently. Costume designer Marilyn Fitoussi, who succeeded Patricia Field after season 2, has outdone herself yet again, bringing back the main characters with an evolved sense of style. The pieces perfectly capture Parisian winter chic, from Emily’s coloured fur and leather coats, to Mindy Chen’s (played by Ashley Park) enviable boots and hats. There’s also a sartorial tribute to Audrey Hepburn’s Charade (1963) and My Fair Lady (1964), making this season indeed a veritable feast for the eyes.
As we reunite with the plucky protagonist after her très tricky situation in the last season’s finale, we are eager to dive back into a whirlwind of fashion, friendship and drama in the land of haute couture and croissants. And if you wish to take inspiration from the brand-new looks of this new season and turn it into your closet’s reality, we bring you the ultimate guide to the outfits featured in Emily in Paris.
The ultimate guide to styling like Emily in Paris
Monochrome ensembles
Mindy Chen and Emily Cooper are the fashionista besties. Complementing in monochromatic power outfits, Mindy is seen wearing a vintage Thierry Mugler mini dress from 1996, with a beaded Andrew Gn belt, thigh-high metallic blue boots from Christian Louboutin and a beaded Germanier bag. Emily, on the other hand, wears a Marlene Birger ruffled blouse paired with Isabel Marant corduroy skirt. She tops it off with a yellow wax jacket from Possery and a quirky Silvia Tcherassi fringed bag. There’s even more yellow with her Marni socks, and platform Sergio Rossi heels. Taking inspiration from the monochrome outfits from Emily in Paris, it’s time to upgrade your wardrobe with sharper silhouettes and bold colours.
Tailored suits
Exemplifying the ultimate boss-lady aesthetic, Emily wears a blue suit and Rabanne black pointed-toe boots, accessorised with a Pierre Hardy bag. For the expatriate, this crisp cobalt blue suit is the way to dominate the boardroom and the streets alike.
Bright and floral styles
Take a leaf out of the Emily in Paris lookbook and style yourself in bold brightly coloured outfits accentuated by patterns. In one of the first looks from season 4, Emily is seen in a Kelly green floral top and shorts from Philosophy Di Lorenzo Serafini, paired with a matching green Kate Spade gingham fabric tote and a cropped pink Jacquemus cardigan on top. While this might not be the most appropriate workwear for all of us, this combination surely gives inspiration when planning a fun brunch with friends.
Classic combinations
Emily does quirky and classic with the same flair. Marilyn Fitoussi dressed the protagonist in a classic red-and-black combination in Season 4. A red leather jacket, floral black-and-white tie, and a checked shirt from Marni Fall 2023, all complemented by a fur-lined bag from Ozias are all instances of how you can embrace the ‘French girl’ style in your everyday outfits like the stars of Emily in Paris.
Chic sophistication
Forever classy and sophisticated, Sylvie Grateau (played by Philippine Leroy-Beaulieu) looks warm and cosy in a sleeveless turtleneck sweater dress and fur coat. Suiting the brilliance of the leading lady at Agence Grateau, she complements her look with a Charlotte Chesnais bracelet and Tod’s crossbody bag. Simple and timeless, you can add a fur coat to elevate any winter outfit into a style statement.
Skirts and layers
Leading ladies of the Sapphic romance arc from Emily in Paris, Camille (played by Camille Razat) and her girlfriend, Sofia (played by Melia Kreiling), were seen out at a flea market in Paris. Sofia wore a quilted skirt and jacket set from La DoubleJ, with a matching orange top, while Camille donned a Vaillant Spring 2024 jacket and ultra mini skirt. High-street and fashionable, skirts layered with jackets and coats make for perfect autumn wear.
Victorian-style outfits
Dressing up for a theatre show or a musical night? You cannot go wrong with Emily’s Victorian-era-inspired look. Wearing a black-and-white wool Andrew Gn coat with feathered cuffs and cameo-style brooch buttons, she paired it with a yellow-and-black corset and culottes, which is then layered with a ruffled white shirt and a yellow bowtie.
Warm and fuzzy vibes
Who would have thought that the combination of a fuzzy teddy bear coat and sailor cap would work on a day of travel? Well, Emily did. She chose an Isabel Marant Étoile faux shearling coat with toggle fastenings along with Christian Louboutin over-the-knee brown leather boots, a Soeur bag, and a sailor-style hat. For a pop of colour, she trails behind her a cornflower blue Rimowa bag.
Street style
Mindy’s Chen crew must be noticed this new season. Captivating in colours, prints and textures, keyboardist Etienne (played by Jin Xuan Mao) was seen in a pink sequinned Patrick Church set matched with a pink Marrknull mini bag, while Mindy wore a Philipp Plein graffiti-covered cropped jacket and dress with a metallic Ganni bag and classic sailor cap by Ruslan Baginskiy. Pulling the look together, Kevis Dias as Benoit opted for a casual Scotch & Soda leather jacket. These looks are pure street-style inspiration.
Dramatic stripes
We’ve saved the best for last. Emily Cooper’s homage to Audrey Hepburn’s My Fair Lady is stunning and jaw-dropping, to say the least. At a dramatic ballroom event, she arrived in a custom head-to-toe striped bodysuit, accessorised by a belted open-front skirt designed by Harris Reed from her 2023 collection for Nina Ricci. Definitely making Eliza Doolittle proud, she wore the outfit with a wide-brimmed black hat and a lace eye mask.
