With spring and summer looming, pop culture and fashion lovers have lots to look forward to because the 4th season of the extremely divisive Emily in Paris began filming earlier this year. With the Olympics headed to the French capital later this summer, filming quickly began in January ahead of the big rush.
If you need a refresher, Emily in Paris chronicles the new Parisian life of Chicago native Emily Cooper, played by Lily Collins. The brainchild of Sex and the City creator Darren Star, Emily’s bold, vibrant wardrobe (sometimes considered gauche) is the work of costume designer Marylin Fitoussi.
While Netflix has left fans hanging with no official release date announced yet, media outlets and fans alike have speculated that the series’ 4th chapter will debut later this year. Filming in both Paris and Italy this season, fans can expect a boatload of relationship drama with a side of fresh fashion.
While we patiently wait for a trailer, or even a teaser, from the new season, let’s discuss some of the bags we’d love to see on our screens next season!
A Roman Holiday
During Netflix’s Tudum: A Global Fan Event, Lily Collins gave us a sneak peek into where the fourth season will take Emily. Of course, Paris will always be integral to the series and Emily herself, but fans will surely be delighted by Emily’s time under the Italian sun. We’re in for a treat when it comes to her fashion choices.
A lover of small bags with fun flair, we’d love to see Emily carrying one of STAUD’s beaded bags while on her Roman holiday, specifically the brand’s adorable ‘Staudines’ clutch. It feels both on-brand for Emily and Italy. Plus, it has an optional chain strap, and while we know that Emily loves mini bags, she also often favors crossbody bags.
Last season, Emily donned an adorable vanity box version of Celine’s coveted Triomphe Cuir bag, and while we have no clue if her trip will bring her to the Italian seaside, we can dream. Emily would channel la dolce vita in a lemon-printed two-piece set with Celine’s Triomphe raffia bag in the crook of her arm.
Out of Office
While Emily’s office looks are integral to the show (work was after what brought her to the City of Lights in the first place), every day for the marketing mogul is nothing short of a fashion show. Whether she’s stopping in to see Gabriel at the restaurant or strolling the streets of Paris with Mindy, Emily’s out-of-office looks never disappoint.
Macarons and frites are to Paris as Chanel is to Emily, and we’d love to see her sport some of Chanel’s newest bags. Never one to shy from novelty, we can see Emily hitting up the boulangerie for a fresh baguette with one of the brand’s coveted Cruise 24 star bags.
While major designer brands like Prada and Gucci, alongside French brands like Chanel and Polène, are integral to Emily’s wardrobe, she is also known to carry under-the-radar brands and bags. In season one, Emily paid homage to her American roots, carrying a bag by one of the kings of American fashion: Marc Jacobs.
This season, we’d love to see her tap into her Americana side and see the Ralph Lauren Polo ID pop up on-screen, but in a bold, fun color. Offering a nice mix of classic and contemporary, the mini version in bright yellow is the Polo ID that most screams Emily.
Paris at Night
Emily’s dressed-up looks are the most exciting to marvel over—they truly never disappoint! Her evening looks often veer on the edge of over-the-top, usually featuring a statement like ruffles, feathers, or some sort of frill. Already a fan of Dior (who can forget that polarizing Vespa moment?), we’d love to see Emily out at night with a chic outfit paired with an equally as chic, bold, patent red version of Dior’s Lady D-Joy.
Never one to shy from trends or loud bags, we’d love to see Emily hit the town with one of fashion’s favorite bags: the Alaïa Le Coeur. However, she wouldn’t opt for just any Le Coeur. She’d pick one of the brand’s embellished versions, like this sleek spiked iteration. After all, it doubles as a weapon should Emily have to face off against Sylvie—or Camille.
