'Emily in Paris': The Fashion Moments We Loved, Hated, And Were Baffled By
From bucket hats to eye-catching magenta coats, here are the outfits that stood out to us the most
Last week, Netflix’s Emily in Paris arrived on the streaming platform exactly like its American protagonist: loud, touristy, and unapologetically silly. The show itself offers a couple of laughs and smiles here and there, becoming enchanting enough to be a source of escapism even for a few hours. It prides itself on cinematic and picturesque views of the arrondissements of Paris, as well as the costume design, consulted on by Patricia Field, whose work also includes Sex and the City and The Devil Wears Prada. On Emily in Paris, there is no shortage of standout looks, all styled specifically to fit the character wearing them, from Emily’s hat of the day to Sylvie’s jewels. Here, we take a look at the fashion moments we loved, hated, and were baffled by throughout the season.

We’ll start with Sylvie Grateau, played by Philippine Leroy-Beaulieu: Emily’s boss. To Patricia Field, Sylvie represented the older generation, making her the epitome of French chic. Throughout the season, Sylvie is found in classic silhouettes and solid colors, and this scene in the first episode is immediately a knockout ‘fit.
To me, Emily’s style stands out so instantly the moment she arrives in Paris, because of her American style sensibilities, of course. Early in the season, you see her in really loud, colorful ensembles—much like herself, her fashion sense is unafraid and unapologetic, and she knows exactly what she’s about.
Emily’s fashion sense could not be the farthest thing from mine, but I loved this outfit because of the color (spoiler alert: I enjoy pink immensely). What I enjoy the most about Emily’s outfits, though, is how it references her personality so clearly and unequivocally. Marilyn Fitoussi, who also worked on the show’s costume design, has said that they weren’t trying to make Emily a la Anne Hathaway in The Devil Wears Prada; rather, they wanted to show that after staying in Paris, her style definitely evolved, but in a more subtle way. “Now she knows and understands the French fashion rules,” says Fitoussi, while still mixing them with her own personal style.
I love this coat, and personally, I enjoy seeing Emily in more laidback looks. On Camille, who is the quintessential Parisian girl, the crisp silhouettes really work, because it points to how Camille has spent a lot more time in Paris, and is therefore more learned when it comes to incorporation Parisian style sensibilities in her outfits.
