A comprehensive guide to all of Emily Cooper's craziest, most outrageous and most unhinged outfits on 'Emily in Paris.'_  by [Cady Lang](/author/cady-lang/)  ## Cady Lang Update your preferences in [Account Settings](/account/preferences/) Close Aug 16, 2024 4:35 PM CUT  Netflix (4)  by [Cady Lang](/author/cady-lang/)  ## Cady Lang Update your preferences in [Account Settings](/account/preferences/) Close Aug 16, 2024 4:35 PM CUT The French fashion designer and style icon Ines de la Fressange once said, “Style should be effortless—don’t overthink it.” It’s a maxim that encapsulates the louche cool that French style has come to represent. It does not, however, describe the outrageous fashion choices of Emily Cooper, the enthusiastic heroine of [Netflix’s _Emily in Paris._](https://time.com/7011375/emily-in-paris-appreciation/ "undefined") Throughout the series, [which dropped its fourth season this week,](https://time.com/7011338/emily-in-paris-camille-pregnancy/ "undefined") Emily wears over-the-top, technicolor ensembles that are less “French girl chic” than they are _Funny Face_ (another tale of a sartorially adventurous American girl in Paris). In the show, Emily’s looks are a reminder that she’s living out her own fantasies in her new life in Paris—she dons sky-high heels daily for her walk to work and mixes brightly colored prints and patterns with reckless abandon. As a PR girl, she eschews the industry’s typical uniform of tasteful black business casual for ostentatious feathered coats, ruffled mini dresses, and sweeping gowns. And she absolutely never misses a chance to accessorize, whether that means a tiny, whimsical handbag (it usually does), gloves that are often more fashion than function, and a dizzying array of fantastical hats. **Read more:** [Emily in Paris _Is Ridiculous, But It’s Not Stupid_ ](https://time.com/7011375/emily-in-paris-appreciation/ "undefined") Perhaps it should come as no surprise that Emily’s maximalist looks are the handiwork of Patricia Fields, a consultant for the show, whose iconic styling on _Sex and the City_ helped to make its characters and the show itself the stuff of fashion legend. “She was still an American girl," Field said of dressing the character of Emily in an interview with [_Paper_](https://www.papermag.com/patricia-field-emily-in-paris-costumes#rebelltitem13 "undefined") in 2020\. "She wasn't French chic all the way, even though she has influences, so I felt that she was the young optimist, and came from Chicago, and wore colors, and she stood alone in that philosophy of wardrobe." With that in mind, we’ve rounded up the most outrageous of Emily’s looks below, ranking them from [demure](https://time.com/7010666/demure-tiktok-trend/ "undefined") to absolutely wild.  Carole Bethuel—Netflix This outfit from the premiere episode of _Emily in Paris_' very first season is an accurate showing of Emily's chaotic neutral fashion sense. Never one to shy away from a bright print, Emily's paired her blue snakeskin mini skirt with a screen-printed button-down.  Stephanie Branchu—Netflix Business casual for Emily is more colorful than conventional work wear. In this Season 1 look, she pairs a green metallic leather jacket with a multicolor animal print tulle mini skirt.  Emily in Paris. Lily Collins as Emily in episode 305 of Emily in Paris. Cr. Courtesy of Netflix © 2022 Netflix If there's one trend that Emily loves embracing, it's print mixing. For this zany Season 3 outfit, she wears a pair of striped hot shorts and a polka dot turtleneck for a day at the office. She tops the look off with a gold duster jacket.  Carole Bethuel—Netflix Emily seems to be firmly in the maximalism camp when it comes to fashion, as evidenced by this Season 1 look, which not only featured a brightly colored print jacket, but a dress with a "bigger is better" bow at the bodice.  Carole Bethuel—Netflix This Season 1 look is classic Emily—multiple prints, multiple accessories (check it: bucket hat, purse, and neck scarf), and bright, eye-catching colors.  Carole Bethuel—Netflix If there's one style maxim that Emily lives by, it's that more is more. Case in point? This beach outfit from Season 2, where she's wearing no fewer than seven busy prints, a pair of platform heels, a patchwork bag, and a bucket hat.  Emily in Paris.

Stéphanie Branchu/Netflix © 2022 Stephanie Branchu—Netflix Emily took themed dressing to the next level in Season 3 when she donned a lavender floral mini dress with a voluminous ruffled lavender coat for (you guessed it) a press trip to a lavender field.  Netflix No stranger to a dramatic sartorial moment, Emily wore a flamingo-esque maribou embellished pink cape and sky-high blue platform heels to say goodbye to her romantic interest Alfie in Season 3.

Marie Etchegoyen/Netflix © 2022 Marie Etchegoyen—Netflix With this metallic jacket and its very dramatic sleeve detailing in Season 3, Emily had a fashion look fit for taking flight.  Stephanie Branchu—Netflix There's a lot going on with this Season 1 look—a graphic jersey dress layered over a delicate lace top and a colorful print fedora that might be too much for anyone, even Emily.

Stephanie Branchu/Netflix © 2024 Stephanie Branchu—Netflix Of all of Emily's outrageous looks in the show, her Hamburglar-esque take on formal wear for a brand activation ball in Season 4 may take the cake. The black and white striped catsuit, paired with a dramatic overskirt, wide hat and black mask made it one of her most memorable looks. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/7011345/emily-in-paris-most-outrageous-outfits/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/7011345/emily-in-paris-most-outrageous-outfits/"},"headline":"Ranking Emily's Most Outrageous Outfits on Emily in Paris","datePublished":"2024-08-16T16:35:41.000Z","dateModified":"2026-05-11T04:52:04.660Z","description":"A comprehensive guide to all of Emily Cooper's craziest, most outrageous and most unhinged outfits on 'Emily in Paris.'","url":"https://time.com/7011345/emily-in-paris-most-outrageous-outfits/","keywords":["Television","list","Evergreen","culturepod"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltb03dfdfb515bc803/698a59de9862f5d5de8960a4/emily-in-paris-outfits.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Cady Lang","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/cady-lang/"}],"articleSection":"Entertainment","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltb03dfdfb515bc803/698a59de9862f5d5de8960a4/emily-in-paris-outfits.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"emily-in-paris-outfits","caption":"Different interesting outfits worn by Emily in Emily in Paris","creditText":"Netflix (4)","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/entertainment/","name":"Entertainment"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"/tag/television/","name":"Television"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/7011345/emily-in-paris-most-outrageous-outfits/","name":"Ranking Emily's Most Outrageous Outfits on Emily in Paris"}}]},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"VideoObject","name":"Emily In Paris | Season 4 Part 1 | Official Trailer | Netflix","description":"A comprehensive guide to all of Emily Cooper's craziest, most outrageous and most unhinged outfits on 'Emily in Paris.'","thumbnailUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/v2/media/dyccA70O/poster.jpg?width=720","uploadDate":"2024-08-15T18:14:07.000Z","contentUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/manifests/dyccA70O.m3u8","embedUrl":"https://time.com/7011345/emily-in-paris-most-outrageous-outfits/","duration":"PT2M7S","potentialAction":{"@type":"SeekToAction","target":"https://time.com/7011345/emily-in-paris-most-outrageous-outfits/?jw_start={seek_to_second_number}","startOffset-input":"required name=seek_to_second_number"}}] ```
