The new Emily in Paris series was released on Netflix on October 2, and we binged the entire Season 1 (the only season out for now) in one sleepless night, or a nuit blanche as the French call it. Did we love it? Well yes! Why? For the fun, the romance, the hot Parisian guys, the wine, the delicious food, the one and only Paris, Lily Collin’s iconic eyebrows, and most importantly for the wardrobe. It’s like we died and went to Fashion heaven; a mix of Sex and the City, Gossip Girl and The Devil Wears Prada. Patricia Field, who selected and styled the outfits for Emily in Paris, is the iconic stylist and costuming legend who made us covet every piece while watching Sex and the City. Therefore, we couldn’t but notice those stylish Carrie Bradshaw vibes in some of Emily’s looks. Keep reading to know more:
The belted printed look
Emily in a Ganni two-piece printed look, paired with a wide waist belt from Rag & Bone, reminded us of Carrie’s green printed outfit accessorized with a large black belt.
The French beret
Emily is oozing Parisian chic in a Veronica Beard checked suit set, paired with a red beret. Who can forget Carrie Bradshaw’s "Bonjour, voila le French hat, Voila le French fry." and her black beret?
The Chanel bag
Emily is a big fan of Chanel, and we spotted stunning Chanel bags, pieces, and accessories in the first season of the series. She’s not the only one to fall head over heels for the French house, Carrie Bradshaw had her eyes on Chanel bags too.
The casual denim
A crop top paired with a pair of jeans, and some sexy heels, bien sûr, and you have a casual, sexy and stylish look, approved by both Emily and Carrie.
J’adore Dior
Carrie and her iconic J'adore Dior 8 t-shirt, Emily and her Diorissimo Newsboy pink hat; the girls are having their Dior moment.
Mixing prints
Emily mixed her Alice + Olivia Eiffel Tower-printed shirt with a snakeskin skirt from Ronny Kobo, and we loved this look! This stylish mixing of prints reminds us of Carrie Bradshaw in her heyday.
The socks
Emily is all about La vie en rose in her pink look; a Kenzo wool and cashmere coat, a Chiara Ferragni pink denim skirt, a Sandro jumper, a pair of Agneska Pink pumps by Christian Louboutin, and a pair of knee-high bright pink socks. Talk about some 90’s vibes! Who can forget Carrie’s grey socks worn with an oversized cardigan?
The tulle skirt
Looking to make a fashion statement? Grab that tulle skirt and you’re all set. A mini one for a casual yet trendy day look, and a voluminous one for a red carpet worthy look.
The white ankle boots
Emily’s Aje floral dress, teamed with IRO jacket and Viviene Westwood white ankle boots is the chicest summer-to-autumn outfit. And Carrie Bradshaw confirms that these white boots will remain perfect as we transition from fall to winter.
