For many young fashionistas, Emily Cooper — played by Lily Collins — is definitely a fashion icon to look up to. From chic coats to a beret with every outfit, the very American Emily has done it all to adapt to French culture. While we await the third season of the Netflix comedy drama that is set to stream from December 21, here’s a look at Emily’s best outfits from the past seasons which can easily be your fashion inspiration this winter.
It is impossible to talk about Emily’s outfits without mentioning the birthday bow dress. The elegant Natalie Dress by Danish designer Rotate Birger Christensen features an oversized pink bow with a black bodice. You can pair one with your favourite coat and boots for a chic winter dinner look.
Take a cue from the American marketing executive on how to layer clothes with style. Adding a yellow tweed jacket could up your wardrobe game when paired with a black A-line skirt and knee-high boots.
For a sunny winter morning brunch, try Emily’s chequered bralette with a flared red skirt and a black oversized jacket. Don’t forget the minimal jewellery and tiny purse.
You could also skip the jacket and go with a furry white crop top paired with classic blue jeans. Add a fashionable hat and you’re ready to catch up with your friends.
Plain simple coats could do the job but take a cue from Emily and add a printed jacket to your outfit for a look that is bound to get you compliments. Pair it with a simple white blouse and a cute bag.
Winter festivities call for an outfit that will make heads turn. The dramatic red high-low tulle dress by Giambattista Valli x H&M with a plunging neckline as seen on Emily in Season 2 of the Netflix series fits the bill. The dress was seen first on Bollywood actress Malaika Arora Khan when she turned model for the collection’s launch.
If you’re one of those people who love the colour green but can’t find the perfect outfit, let Emily help you. Green can be seen in tons of her outfits throughout the first two seasons. Wear your plaid skirts and tops with a sea green coat. Add a fancy scarf to complete the look.
Emily isn’t the only fashionista in town. Take inspiration from the show’s stylish French women — Sylvie (Philippine Leroy-Beaulieu) and Camille (Camille Razat). While Sylvie went for a classic lace black dress paired with a purple coat, Camille opted for a trendy boxy-fit white overcoat with black detailing to add flare to her simple outfit.
A vintage look can be achieved with Emily’s heart print dress that she wore at the Baton Rouge theme party for Chopard in Season 2 Episode 5. The mid-length heart-print dress by Anouki paired with red stilettos and a vintage hairstyle could make for a perfect party outfit.
