Who knew the wait would be this gratifying? Indeed, if you’re anything like us, you’re probably already well-acquainted with today’s topic of discussion : the fourth season of Emily in Paris . It’s been roughly over a year and a half since we were met with Season 3 —and there’s nothing like having our favourite bit of frivolous television back on screen. As of this week, the first part of Season 4 is officially with us, and that means five full episodes of watching Emily Cooper’s adventures in the City of Light.

And amid establishing her indispensability at Agence Grateau and swooning over a cornucopia of men, there’s no mistaking that new-season-Emily is finally feeling like she belongs in the city. And she has a spectacular outing of outfits and beauty moments to thank for that. Something that has persisted since day one? Emily’s love for colour and maximalism.

Yet with Season 4 , her sartorial execution leans tasteful—with more fantabulous pantsuits and deliciously grand moments for a bout of couture (yes, that Harris Reed gown deserves honourable mention). But to really note how she’s evolved, it’ll require a proper zoom in on her hair and make-up deliveries this time around. Swapping out berets and scarves for statement hair accessories and flouncy retro hairdos, our protagonist is finally shedding away her American-in-Paris agenda and finding joy in paring it back when it’s needed.

Should she need that definitive glow up for a boost of confiden.
