Admit it, you’ve been living vicariously in your sweats through Emily Cooper in Emily in Paris as she traipses her way through the city of love, donning vibrant colours and designer pieces galore.
Despite its very clichéd plotline, Emily in Paris was destined for fashion fame. Its costume design masterminded by none other than Patricia Field, the woman behind the closet of ’90s fashion icon character Carrie Bradshaw in Sex And The City.
From preppy blazers and draw-dropping evening gowns to eccentric raincoats, here are some of the best fashion looks in Emily In Paris that made us say “Oui!”:
Parisian chic
Find us a more Parisian outfit – we’ll wait. This Veronica Beard plaid set styled with a classic Chanel crossbody and red beret screams “Pah-rhee”. Short of holding a pain au chocolat, Emily nails the “basic girl wearing what they think they should wear in the city of love” look. Though it might be peak French Cliché 101, she does look kinda cute. We all know deep down that we’d dress the same if we were in Paris…

Go-getter green
Elegant Chanel tweed coat meets the everyday plaid bucket hat – not a lot of people dare to mix luxury prep with casual streetwear, but Emily went there, topped the look with a floral neck scarf, and pulled it off (in monotone too).

Audrey Hepburn at the ballet
From the delicate silver headpiece to the sultry fur coat down to the off-the-shoulder gown, this Emily in Paris outfit took our breath away. Emily channels her inner Audrey Hepburn in this beautiful ensemble as she gracefully enters Palais Garnier, the same opera house Hepburn was spotted in as protagonist Jo Stockton in the ’50s film, Funny Face.

Don’t rain on my parade
If there’s something we know about Emily by now, it’s that she’s never concerned about a risqué clashing print, let alone showing up to a major fashion event at the Louvre in a transparent raincoat with coloured hems, on top of a black embellished dress. What even is a fashion faux pas? It’s time to live it up a little like Emily and experiment with whatever floats your boat, especially now. Don’t be afraid to spice up your Zoom meeting by turning up in a raincoat – what’ve you got to lose?
