Emily In Paris Season 5 Has Started Filming – Here’s Where To Shop The Outfits

There's no two ways about it, Emily in Paris was not always received kindly by reviewers. And the fashion came under fire too (berets = clichéd, apparently). But the critics can eat their hats because consumers who, let's face it, hold much more power in these matters anyway, were thoroughly on board with her loud and proud style of dress from the get-go. (Psst: @emilyinparisoutfits is your go-to source for all the intel). Now, season five is in the works, expected to be released this December, and you can expect more outrageously questionable outfits than ever (if the first looks are anything to go by).

They've stuck with Emily – as well as her terrifyingly chic boss, Sylvie, and her best friend, Mindy – for not one, not two but four seasons, navigating a change of city (Emily in Rome?), as well as plenty of drama in the shape of, off the top of my head, an uncomfortable moment in the shower (IYKYK).

Lily Collins teased the start of filming season five on her Instagram, with a Vespa selfie that suggests she hasn't got back to Paris (also see the caption, 'Lights, Camera, Amore'). As well as a seriously chic bob that just grazes her chin, Collins is wearing a typically designer outfit that mirrors last season's slightly more pared-back version of Emily. The geometric jumpsuit is a fabulous wrap-around style from the queen of print, Diane von Furstenberg, and miraculously is still available to shop (and on sale) on the brand's website. Accessories include a silver cuff (Marc Deloche), stacked platform sandals (out of shot but Sergio Rossi) and a slouchy tote bag (Tod's T Timeless shopping bag).

While we're waiting for season five, let's reflect on season four, in which the fashion in Emily in Paris definitely grew up. The series was still dramatic and never (ever) boring, yet Emily's taste evolved, reflecting her home away from home but also the fact that she came into her own. Speaking at the time of the last season's release, Marylin Fitoussi, Emily in Paris's costume designer, said: 'I think she was a little bud in previous seasons, and now she's really coming into her own, asserting herself, becoming much stronger.'

Critics have always had two serious gripes with the show's clothes a) they're too expensive for a marketing salary and b) there's too many of them to be realistic for a petit living space in Paris (or, for that matter, Rome). To that, Fitoussi has the perfect riposte. 'Emily can't afford all the clothes on offer in the show, of course. No, her apartment can't hold all the clothes. And that’s entertainment, baby!' However, if you'd like to recreate her look IRL, we've found plenty of affordable alternatives that are still très chic.

The show finally has a release date of December 18 this year. In Netflix's announcement, Darren Star, Emily in Paris's showrunner, said: 'From Parisian rooftops to Roman ruins, we can’t wait to share where Emily’s next chapter takes us.'

The show-stopping jumpsuit

In the very first look shared from the season, Emily wore this patterned DVF jumpsuit that's definitely striking enough to be the whole outfit, and it's somehow still in stock. She paired it with a statement cuff and the Tod's bag we spotted on Katie Holmes earlier this year.

The polka dot number

Always on trend, Emily sports a striking polka dot outfit all from Moschino, and it's surprisingly still available to buy.

The all-red moment

In one of the latest on-set pictures, Emily was spotted dressed head-to-toe in cool-girl fashion label Marine Serre. While the exact red outfit now has a waitlist, you could recreate it in black, or opt for our picks from Free People, Abercrmbie & Fitch and Wardrobe.NYC for a similar red look.

The polka dot dress

Another great polka dot moment comes in the form of this chic strapless mini dress from Nina Ricci, paired with biker boots and a scarf. Shop the exact dress, or opt for a more affordable alternative Urban Outfitters. Finishing the look with a chic bob like Emily's isn't necessary, but highly encouraged.

Furthermore, here's how to shop your favourite looks from the fourth season of Emily in Paris. De rien!
