Lily Collins talks fashion evolution in 'Emily in Paris' Season 4, Part 2, drawing inspiration from Audrey Hepburn

Washington [US], September 15 : As Netflix's popular rom-com series 'Emily in Paris' returns for the second part of its fourth season, Lily Collins has shared exclusive insights into her favourite outfit from the latest episodes.
Released on September 12, 'Emily in Paris' Season 4, Part 2 transports its titular character, Emily Cooper, from Paris to Rome, and with it, a noticeable shift in fashion.
Speaking to People magazine, Collins described one particular ensemble from the new episodes that stands out for her.
"The outfit that really resonated with me was towards the end of the two episodes," Collins, 35, revealed, adding, "It featured a vintage Alaia skirt paired with a white collared shirt, flats, and a small scarf."
She also shared that the look felt like a significant departure from Emily's previous style, embracing a more Italian aesthetic and practical, vacation-ready attire.
Collins elaborated on the inspiration behind the season's wardrobe.
Fans have noted similarities between Emily's new looks and classic outfits worn by Audrey Hepburn in films like 'Roman Holiday'.
"Part 2 includes a nod to Audrey Hepburn's 'Charade' look at the top of the mountain, as well as 'Roman Holiday,'" Collins explained, adding, "In one scene, I wear large sunglasses, a fur coat, and a matching hat, reminiscent of Hepburn's iconic style," during an interview with People magazine.
She continued, "Marylin Fitoussi, our costume designer, always draws inspiration from iconic fashion moments but adds an Emily twist. It was essential for us to honour these classic images while maintaining Emily's unique style."
Collins also touched on a personal highlight from the season--a reference to 'The Lizzie McGuire Movie'.
Although she couldn't claim credit for the line, Collins expressed her delight. "I can't take credit for the line, but it was a clever nod to the movies. Growing up with Hilary Duff and Lizzie McGuire, I felt proud that Emily Cooper made that reference."
Season 4, Part 2 of 'Emily in Paris' is now available for streaming on Netflix, offering fans a blend of chic fashion and heartfelt moments against the picturesque backdrop of Rome.
