Emily in Paris is back, and so are the iconic outfits! As season 4 unfolds, we’re once again swept into Emily Cooper’s (Lily Collins) whirlwind of love, work, and fashion dilemmas. While her life may be full of surprises, one thing remains constant: her bold and playful sense of style.
Season 3 left us with plenty of fashion moments to swoon over, even if the storyline didn’t always deliver. From coveted designer pieces to her quirky camera-shaped phone case, Emily kept us entertained with her vibrant mix of colors, patterns, and whimsical silhouettes—adding drama to her life in every scene (as if she needed more!).
With nearly two years of anticipation, season 4 had us eager to see what new fashion choices Emily would bring to the table. With an affair, a called-off wedding, and a pregnancy on the horizon, you can’t help but wonder how one dresses for such chaotic events. Fortunately, costume designer Marylin Fitoussi has all the answers, and we’re here to break down our favorite looks.
Below, we’ve graded some of the standout Emily in Paris outfits from season 4 part 1, looking at their wearability, affordability, and overall styling.

After last season’s love triangle disaster, season 4 kicks off with Emily reclaiming her sartorial prowess. She stuns in a green jacquard floral shorts and bustier set from Philosophy di Lorenzo Serafini, topped with a pink Jacquemus cardigan. It seems Emily’s become a bit more budget-conscious, as these pieces are currently on sale for around $200 or less. Known for her fearless color mixing, Emily heads into the office in a kelly green floral bustier and shorts combo, accessorized with a matching green gingham Kate Spade tote and a cropped pink Jacquemus cardigan. A bold yet budget-friendly start to the season!
2. Emily’s Monochrome Moment

Who says wardrobe staples have to be neutral? Not Emily Cooper! She rocked a bright yellow suede shirt from Possery, layering it over a matching yellow blouse and pairing it with a yellow corduroy skirt. Even her bag was yellow! While monochrome looks are trending, this outfit wasn’t as affordable as her first—just the outer layer retails for over 700€. Maybe Emily’s been saving up to invest in some key pieces!
3. Emily’s Layered Feathered Look

This season, Emily mastered the art of layering. She transformed a fun textured dress into office attire by pairing it with a crisp white button-down and a plaid tie. It’s a styling trick we might just have to borrow.

Imagine if the Hamburglar had a fashion-forward cousin—that’s Emily in this look. The bodysuit’s flattering fit is enhanced by belting and a half skirt, with a Mary Jane strap adding a unique detail. The wide-brim hat seals the deal, making this outfit a showstopper. This look perfectly captures Emily’s commitment to her quirky fashion sense.
5. Emily’s Clueless-Inspired Outfit

Leave it to Emily to bring a 2024 twist to a classic look. Channeling Cher from Clueless, she donned a yellow and black houndstooth dress over a white ruffled blouse, complete with a yellow bow tie and black buckle. Though the accessories were minimal, her use of hairpins added a chic touch. It’s a perfect nod to school uniforms, but good luck finding these pieces—Emily’s keeping her style secrets well-hidden!
6. Emily’s Coordinated Set

While Emily often loves to mix patterns, this time she opted for a matching top and skirt set—and we’re here for it. She looked elegant in a Missoni button-up and skirt, though they come with a hefty price tag. Maybe she scored them secondhand (we did see her shopping at Vestaire Collective this season). Either way, this look shows a more mature side of Emily, especially when paired with delicate jewelry and an updo. Let’s hope her life choices follow suit!
7. Emily’s Trendy Hair Accessory

We’re thrilled to see the headband trend making its way into Emily’s wardrobe. Though her signature bangs are iconic, this simple, affordable headpiece—available at any drugstore—gave her look a fresh update. Paired with a simple striped shirt, the headband turned a wardrobe basic into a trendy top. Once again, Emily proves that accessories can make all the difference.
