This massive collection also in particular, reflects Emily’s deepening connection to her style, where structured suits, formal ensembles, and even ties start making an appearance, showing her growing maturity without losing the quirky and playful essence that fans love.
Let’s dissect some of her most iconic and daring fashion moments from Season 4, exploring how each look not only captures Emily’s personal journey but also sets the tone for future fashion trends.
Look 1: The Striped Parisian Quirk
Emily’s quirky yet classy combination of a purple-striped shirt under a retro knit vest here is a nod to Parisian street style, designed to balance playful patterns with a cozy, casual vibe. The look was crafted by Marylin Fitoussi, who has been the lead costume designer since Season 3, taking over from Patricia Field. Fitoussi’s inspiration for this look was to reflect Emily’s evolving sense of style, which is now more integrated into the Parisian fashion scene while still retaining her unique flair. The natural makeup and soft fringe adds the Parisian chic factor to the ensemble.
Look 2: The Blue Power Move
Currently talk of the town, the electric blue suit Emily wears is a bold statement piece that speaks to her growing confidence in both her personal and professional life. Fitoussi designed this suit to reflect the modern working woman who isn’t afraid to stand out, using color to convey power and vibrancy. The relaxed tailoring of the suit, combined with soft waves and a natural makeup look, keeps the outfit chic and approachable. Don’t even get us started on the shoes!
Look 3: The Red and Black Statement
In a look that could only be described as Paris-meets-New York, Emily rocks a red leather trench with a monochromatic floral blouse. This look is all about contrasts—the boldness of red against the elegance of black and white. The oversized lapels and structured silhouette of the trench coat add an edge, while the floral print softens the look, creating a balance between hard and soft. Emily’s signature red lip ties the ensemble together, making it clear that this look is both fierce and feminine.
Look 4: The Striped Masquerade Showstopper
Emily’s black-and-white striped gown for the masquerade ball is one of the most dramatic and unforgettable looks of the season. This iconic look, designed by Harris Reed, features a striking catsuit-gown hybrid, complete with a sweeping cape and a wide-brimmed hat. Inspired by the iconic Black and White Ball hosted by Truman Capote in 1966, Reed created a silhouette that is both bold and architectural, capturing the essence of Parisian haute couture. The collaboration between Reed and the show’s costume designer, Marylin Fitoussi, resulted in a look that is equal parts theatrical and fashionable, perfectly complemented by Emily’s sleek hair and bold makeup.
Look 5: The Playful Print and Pop of Green
Mixing prints and bold colors is Emily’s fashion signature, and this look is no exception. The geometric print blouse paired with bright green bottoms showcases her playful yet polished style. Fitoussi drew inspiration from the eclectic, artistic neighborhoods of Paris, where bold fashion choices are celebrated. The soft bun and light, fresh makeup keep the focus on the outfit, which is all about fun, confidence, and a bit of fashion risk-taking.
Look 6: The Floral Party Dress
Here, for a night out, Emily dazzles in a floral-embellished dress. The oversized floral appliqués give the dress a three-dimensional effect, making it stand out in any crowd. Fitoussi’s design for this look was inspired by the romanticism of Paris, combined with a modern edge. The sleek hair and bold makeup add a modern feel to the otherwise classic floral theme, making this look a perfect example of Emily’s evolving style under Fitoussi’s creative direction.
Last but Not the Least, the Poster!
We told you, polka dots are back! And who better to make that statement than Emily Cooper herself? Pairing a sheer polka dot top with oversized pink floral appliqués on a sleek black dress, this outfit perfectly marries playful Parisian flair with haute couture drama, making a bold statement that’s just so Emily in Paris.
