Lily Collins unveils chic new looks as hit Netflix series films across Europe
Fans of Netflix’s Emily in Paris are already buzzing with anticipation for Season 5, and recent filming across Paris, Rome and Venice has given the first tantalising glimpse into Lily Collins’ fresh wardrobe and evolving style as Emily Cooper.
The paparazzi were out in force during filming on the streets of Paris and later in Rome, capturing Collins in outfits that reflect a notable shift in Emily’s fashion sensibilities.
The vibrant, mismatched prints that defined her early days in the City of Lights have seemingly given way to a more polished, Parisian-inspired look.
Costume designer Marilyn Fitoussi, who has been responsible for Emily’s bold ensembles since the beginning, appears to have steered the character into more elegant territory, suggesting a maturation not only in Emily’s style but perhaps in her personal journey as well.
In Paris, Collins was photographed wearing a vivid red three-piece suit paired with a long leather coat. Accessorised with silver sculptural hoops and a bold silver ring, the look exuded sophistication without abandoning Emily’s trademark flair for bold colours.
Another scene featured Collins in a fitted navy Victoria Beckham dress, accompanied by a yellow gold rectangular link chain bracelet, echoing contemporary and vintage ’70s jewellery trends. Sporting a new bobbed haircut, Collins carried the refined look effortlessly.
Filming in Rome presented another layer of glamour. Collins was seen in a strapless floral-print dress paired with Aurelie Bidermann malachite drop earrings, embracing a high-fashion aesthetic in contrast to some of her earlier, more whimsical ensembles.
The show has long nodded to iconic screen style moments, particularly those of Audrey Hepburn. Season 4 saw tributes to Hepburn’s roles in Charade and Roman Holiday, alongside references to Funny Face.
Speculation is already swirling over whether Season 5 will echo Sabrina or Breakfast at Tiffany’s, further cementing Emily’s evolving look as a blend of timeless chic and contemporary flair.
Beyond Paris and Rome, filming has also taken Collins and the cast to Venice. The actress shared behind-the-scenes photos on Instagram captioned “A very Venetian getaway,” highlighting the blend of work and play that filming the series often brings.
On a water taxi ride, Collins sported a whimsical tomato-print sundress by HVN, illustrated with pasta motifs. The look was completed with a chocolate-coloured bucket hat and oversized sunglasses. Later, she switched into a white polka-dot dress paired with black-and-white ballet flats, gold hoop earrings, and a lemon-illustrated paper fan, capturing the playful essence fans have come to expect.
Another Venice shoot spotlighted one of the season’s strongest style trends — polka dots. Collins was photographed in a striking black-and-white two-piece set, consisting of a calf-length flared skirt and a matching crop top.
She accessorised with large gold hoop earrings while keeping her hair tied back to highlight the ensemble. In another scene, she wore Nina Ricci’s polka-dot bustier mini dress, valued at $1,535, with diamond drop earrings and bold red lipstick.
The timeless pattern, embraced this year by celebrities including Sabrina Carpenter, Gracie Abrams and Kylie Jenner, seems set to dominate the season’s fashion narrative.
Behind the glamour, the show’s creators continue to emphasise Emily’s lifestyle as justification for her extravagant wardrobe.
