The Emily In Paris Season 2 Fashion is Haute Garbage (and this is only part 1)

Emily in Paris is back for a second season and well we of course have to discuss. Pourquoi? Chais Pas. Emily Cooper, played by actress Lily Collins, is still fucking up just about everything throughout not only Paris but France, in outfits that should be considered criminal. While she wears clothes from brands like Mary Katrantzou, Courrèges, Valentino, Miu Miu, & Prada it's done in such garish ways that it makes her so visually unlikable, and her character is already so grating it really doesn't help. As for side characters like Mindy & Camille, they go in and out of looking good, and more often than not they fall to the way side. But Sylvie, Emily's boss and the true embodiment of French galmour is always saving the day! All in all, Emily in Paris is as per usual a mess that should come with a trigger warning.

Could you do a throwback analysis on "The Devil wears Prada", notably the "real" Emily in Paris? Read somewhere in the comments that this is the only Emily that would have deserved to be in Paris, which I find hilarious.

Say what you will about Carrie Bradshaw, I always believed that she dressed herself. Emily's outfits look so contrived, colourful yet somehow completely joyless. And speaking of joyless, don't get me started on that rigid perfect hair.

Also, who the hell goes running braless in an unsupportive asymmetric top?

[laewo]

We as a community need to address Emily’s hair. Somehow the stylist found the most annoying middle part and wave pattern possible, and I honestly respect that

[kylelima]

this video just prove sylvie is truly the main character of the show. she is fabulous in every scene. saving the show.

Why does Emily mix patterns the same way I mixed liquors in college lmao

[ethanpolley]

I don’t get it. Emilys style is both the most garish AND the most boring at the same time.

[aigocharisma]

Emily's fashion is like the 2010's Disney kids grew up, but never actually evolved from their fashion.

[allykat]

In my mind, Patricia field hates Emily just as much as we do which is why she keeps putting her in fugly clothes. Until Emily becomes a better person, she'll forever be stuck in these clothes

[blinkspyblackpink]

The problem is that Carrie is HELD accountable many times for her actions (Charlotte and Miranda always remind her when she is making a mistake in the OG series), she is supposed to be "imperfect" and "messy". Meanwhile Emily is portrayed as this all put together woman and "good" person....but the truth is that she isn't.

luke you’re the reason why everyone (including me for the longest time 😭) pronounces “haute” incorrectly 😮‍💨 answer for your crimes! 😭

As an American who did live in Paris (didn’t speak any French, worked in marketing, the whole shebang), my friends and I dressed as minimalist and muted as possible. If you dress like you’re trying, you’re instantly garish and laughable. Emily would’ve been judged on the street, let alone in a workplace. It’s heinous.

[mariamkhachidze]

I agree that Emily's outfits make her even more unlikeable.

[myiachanmagicalgirl]

I came for the roast, but I stayed for the badly photoshopped images of Emily taking a selfie of the stores she should have shopped in. Thank you for this wonderful additional editing flourish

[sharonblake]

Im sorry but who runs/exercises without some sort of a bra or chest support? First episode opening scene and I’m already mad lol

[eliko]

In my mind Emily is purposefully dressed this bad to along with the narrative of the clueless American that tries to show off every single branded item they own/ create a flashy appearance (for the show of course)

[clodaghrafferty]

We had “ non -uniform “ days here in the uk once every year so you’d come in trying to impress every pre teen at school wearing every bit of obnoxious colourful patterned crap you had …I now wish Emily’s workplace had a uniform

I think Emily's clumsy style is a metaphor for what Luc or Julien said in the show, about how you can't regurgitate French culture back at a French person and expect them to like it. Emily's wardrobe reflects how she's an in-between space that doesn't know where to go. She is so desperate for the Parisian fashion experience, but cannot let go of her American loud buy everything sensibility. She wants French Fashion the American way. And she's also between two friends who influence her. Mindy's loud but well put-together style is a confidence and self-dependence that Emily wants for herself. Camille is also a lot of the person that Emily wants to become—she has the chic art job, and the picturesque french family, and the hot chef boyfriend. Emily tries to be both of them at the same time. So i think her style is very much, wanting Camille's effortless grace and sleek silhouettes but wanting the loudness and confidence of Mindy. Emily is all about thinking she was so sure of herself and her plans and her actions but finding that she actually doesn't have everything put together, that she doesnt really still know what she wants or who she is. And that echoes back to the dillemma she has in the ending of season two.

One thing is for sure, Sylvie is single-handedly carrying this show!

[DanielaNo]

At least Emily isn't wearing a new Chanel bag in every episode like she did in season 1

Mina Le and Luke are icons when it come to analyzing fashion. They should dress all the cast of "Emily in Paris". 🙃 Sorry, not sorry 💅
