Bonjour mes amies, parlons Pop Culture! Season four of Emily in Paris has finally arrived, and I couldn't be more thrilled. Emily Cooper's colourful and bold outfit choices, paired with her upbeat and optimistic personality, create a character & show worth binging on Netflix. The show's idealized version of Paris, filled with chic cafes, stunning architecture, and, of course, fabulous fashion, has captivated audiences worldwide. And let's not forget about the sexy love interests!

Behind the stunning Emily in Paris fashion that has become synonymous with the show is the legendary Patricia Field, the iconic costume designer behind Sex and the City, who set the tone in season one. Learn more about her work on Patricia Field's official website.

From season two onward, Marylin Fitoussi took the reins, pushing Emily's style in new and exciting directions. Let's take a look back at Emily Cooper style, makeup, and hair throughout the show so far. You can find Marylin's latest works on Vogue Fashion Shows.

Season One: Where It All Began

Season one introduced us to Emily Cooper's bubbly and ambitious personality, perfectly reflected in her vibrant fashion choices, mixing prints and textures. Her makeup often featured a classic red lip, bold brows, and a fresh, dewy complexion—a look that was more American, with a polished and put-together appearance contrasting with the more understated Parisian style. Her hair was almost always perfect, usually styled in stunning bouncy waves that added to her all-American charm.

One of Emily's most iconic fashion moments from this season is her black-and-white checkered outfit, paired with a red beret and a quirky camera phone case. I recreated this look in New York at Bryant Park, and even though it was shot in the Big Apple, it definitely channels Parisian energy. If you're looking to shop similar styles, I've linked options under each outfit!

Another memorable fashion moment is when Emily (Lily Collins') bears a striking resemblance to Audrey Hepburn in her ode to Funny Face. With a sleek bun, rhinestone hair accessories, a classic red lip, and a stunning black dress, this look exudes elegance. I couldn't resist trying it out myself as an Audrey fan!

Season Two: Hair Goals and Subtle Shifts

Season two continued to push the boundaries of Emily's fashion and beauty looks, with some of my personal favorite hair moments defining this season. The wearable pretty ponytails and intricate updos to go with Emily's bold style giving major hair inspiration.

One of my all-time favorite behind the scenes shots from shooting season two is Emily strutting through the streets of Paris in knee-high brown boots and a bucket hat, reminiscent of her iconic checkered look from season one. While her neon yellow-accented floral jacket was a bit bold for my taste, I toned it down in my recreation and finished the look with a deep red lip like Emily.

While the Emily in Paris x Lancome collaboration promoted during season 2 isn't available anymore, you can find similar lip shades from the new Makeup Revolution x Emily In Paris collection.

Another fashion moment worth highlighting was Emily's over-the-top pink bow dress, paired with pearl drop earrings and a super cute high ponytail with ringlet curls. Though the night didn't end too well for Emily, she sure looked stunning!

Pink lips can be hard to pull off, but this magenta shade became one of my favourites to wear after experimenting with this Emily inspired glam. A must try, especially if you love wearing bold red lips.

Finally, the decorated fishtail-braided updo created by hair stylist Mike Desir was a stand out this season, paired with a voluptuous tulle red dress that Emily wore to the Gregory Elliott Duprée fashion show at the end of the season. This hairstyle in particular is a bit challenging to do on yourself but perfect for a special event. Watch full tutorial below and tag me if you try it out!

Season Three: The Transformation

Season three marked a transformation in Emily's style, both in fashion and beauty. This season, Emily undergoes a hair transformation with the infamous post-mental-breakdown bangs. Her hair becomes a little less polished and more laid-back, inspired by authentic Parisian style.

The shift in her hair was accompanied by a subtle evolution in her makeup. Emily's lip colour in this season shifted to more mauve and purple shades, moving away from her signature red. The show's makeup artist, Aurélie Payen, mentioned that these choices were meant to reflect Emily's more settled and confident persona in Paris, perfectly complementing her evolving style.

Emily wears a lot of green throughout the seasons, especially in season three! A green cardigan is a great way to add a pop of colour to your wardrobe in a wearable way. You may have noticed my style guides inspired by Emily are much more toned down, but if you want to rock several patterns and bold colours at once? Go for it!

Looking Ahead: Season Four and Beyond

As we dive into season four, I can't wait to see what new fashion, makeup, and hair moments Emily will serve up. With Marylin Fitoussi continuing to lead the charge on costume design, we can expect even more bold and chic looks that push the boundaries of American-In-Paris style, completely unique to the show.

Shop the Look

I've put together a list of new collaborations and past Emily in Paris collections that are still available for purchase. These are generally quite affordable, in contrast to Emily's designer wardrobe. While I listed many inspired outfits at a mid-higher price range, thrifting on Poshmark for similar items is another great option. Happy shopping!

Ps. Are you team Emily and Alfie, or do you prefer Emily with Gabriel? Personally, I'm a Gabriel fan—I think they're better suited for each other, but I guess only time will tell 😉
