The 2024 Olympics may officially be behind us but the City of Light is nothing if not one filled with promise for the future. Its most immediate peace offering? The seasonal return of everyone’s favourite binge-worthy television : Emily in Paris . The fourth season of the Netflix rom-com is soon to land on the streaming site—and with it comes only more mind-boggling drama and a series of questionable decisions by one Emily Cooper .
As we may hold hope for the social media star to finally build a proper life in Paris, the dramatic rom-com ultimately wouldn’t be what it is without its complicated love triangles, mouth-agape revelations and Emily’s consistently outlandish outfits. Mais oui , the outfits. Through the seasons, there’s no disputing the polarising and loud style of our dearest American protagonist ; something costume designer Marylin Fitoussi might accord to her strong-willed personality and unabashed love for making a sartorial statement.
Yet beyond her once- ringarde aesthetic and dopamine approach to fashion, therein lies a silver glimmer of possibility in Season 4. That despite Emily’s need to froth up in retina-searing outfits and equally bold accessories, the French capital—in all its Parisian chic getups and extreme savoir faire— has certainly rubbed off on her. Instead, the fourth season’s trailer offers us a peek into the new wardrobe that Emily establishes for herself; whilst still brimming with colour and personality, experimentation in pantsuits and more streamlined silhouettes have begun to take root.
Doubtlessly, her fellow cast stalwarts—from classic Sylvie to the inimitable Camille—continue to be walking masterclasses in Parisian style. There’s also the inclinations of best friend Mindy, who still displays a special affinity for a clashing print or two. But don’t just take it from us.
Get your berets out, reach for your inner dreamers and have a go at the kaleidoscopic wardrobe of the various beloved characters, with the first part of Netflix’s Emily in Paris Season 4 due to hit streaming site soon..
