Lily Collins reminds me so much of Sarah Jessica Parker. They’re both as fashionable as the characters they portray in their hit TV shows—Lily Collins as Emily Cooper in Emily in Paris and SJP as Carrie Bradshaw in Sex and the City.
With the second part of the fourth season of Emily in Paris underway, Collins has been emulating her on-screen persona’s chic styles, embracing corporate core and edgy romanticism!

ICYMI, Emily in Paris was renewed for a fifth season right after the premiere of Season 4 Part 2 last week, so I’m looking forward to seeing more of Lily Collins in the future!
Flirty in Alessandra Rich LBD and Manolo Blahnik Pumps
Lily Collins has been busy hitting the press circuit for the second part of the fourth season of the Netflix rom-com series Emily in Paris.
She most recently attended the SAG-AFTRA Foundation Q&A event for her hit TV series, wearing a flirty off-the-shoulder LBD by Alessandra Rich, a London-based designer known for her feminine dresses that often incorporate retro references.
Her $2,200 black mini dress is made of plush velvet and features a ruffled tulle neckline and sleeves that add to its ladylike appeal. I love how the bow highlights the beauty of the ensemble while adding just the right amount of coquette charm.
The dress’s form-fitting bodice draws attention to Lily’s proportions and then skims her thighs, revealing her slim pins.

I love that Collins skipped the necklace, allowing her dress to take center stage. Her black tresses were parted in the middle and tucked behind her ears, flaunting her $23,300 Cartier Panthere de Cartier earrings set with emerald eyes, onyx, and 132 0.61ct. brilliant-cut diamonds. She also wore a few rings, including Cartier’s iconic Love ring.
Collins wore black tights to complete the look before slipping into the classic celebrity-favorite Manolo Blahnik “BB” pumps.

Showing Edgy Contrast with Rabanne Cargo Shorts, Sheer Tank Top, and Manolo Blahnik Heels
I was taken aback to see Lily Collins in New York City sporting high-heeled sandals, cargo shorts, and a sheer tank top that were all in stark contrast to each other. But despite the lack of coherence, I think Collins carried the look well!
Hailing from the Rabanne Pre-Fall 2024 collection, the ensemble was stylish yet somewhat perplexing. Collins wore a sheer black tank top trimmed with beads and gold studs. She layered it over a cropped top, teasing her toned abs, and paired the look with cargo jorts.
These utilitarian khaki bottoms are popular among men during the early aughts. Although they’re difficult to pull off, Collins did a great job making them seem fashionable.

She accessorized with minimal Cartier jewelry, the same ones from earlier, and elevated the casual pairing with strappy stiletto sandals from Manolo Blahnik.

Collins opted for the “Leva” sandals handmade in Italy from black lambskin leather. They have strappy uppers and ties at the ankles, adding to their allure. Completing this timeless pair are the 4-inch stiletto heels. You can get them for $825 at Net-a-Porter.

Sultry in Sheer Versace LBD and Bejeweled Ankle-Strap Pumps
Arriving at the Paley Center for Media for The Magic Behind the Scenes panel of Emily in Paris, Lily Collins donned a black satin mini dress from Versace’s Fall 2024 collection.
Though I like Emily in more refined ensembles, I still think it’s a great look on her, and I love how confidently she pulled it off! It has a see-through sheer bodice with long sleeves and satin panels that emphasize the sharply padded shoulders, giving the outfit a hint of retro romantic flair.
Lily displayed her generous cleavage while sporting a Versace black floral lace bra underneath, adding to the seductive edge of the ensemble. The dress’s lower portion is a form-fitting miniskirt that ends a few inches above her knees, parading her slender legs wrapped in black tights.
It’s the “LBD of all LBDs,” says Lily Collins in her Instagram post!

I adore how Lily and her stylist, Andrew Mukamal, used minimal accessories to give the all-black ensemble a hint of glitter. Lily wore Cartier jewels, including diamond earrings and a ring.
But what I love most about the look are her heels! She wore Versace’s “Slice” d’Orsay pumps, which are known for their slim square heels.

They are cut from glossy patent calfskin leather and feature sleek pointed toes and ankle straps with a Medusa medallion and three rows of crystals. They’re available for $1,950 at Nordstrom.

Embracing Corpcore in Fall-Ready Nina Ricci Suit and Pumps
The previous day, Collins dropped by Good Morning America wearing this season’s popular color—merlot! I love how the rich Bordeaux hue complements her complexion well and brings life to the season’s gloomy sky.
Dressed by Andrew Mukamal, Collins embraced corpcore and donned a look from Nina Ricci’s Fall 2024 collection. It came with matching wool Gabardine wide-leg pants and an oversized single-breasted jacket with peak lapels and black buttons.
I appreciate Lily for keeping her jacket open to flaunt her cleavage and abs, adding a seductive touch to business wear. It kept her figure from being swamped and gave her a flattering appearance. Underneath, she wore a black cropped bralette with a v-neck, a controversial fashion trend that has been around for years.

Collins kept her accessories minimal, forgoing the necklace for a pair of stud earrings and a few rings.
With her blunt bob styled straight and tucked behind one ear, Collins finished her ensemble with heels in the same merlot color. They have sharp, pointed toes and are set on towering spool heels.

Casual in Jeans and Alaia Fishnet Ballet Flats
Lily Collins was spotted outside The View studios earlier in the day, sporting a crop top and jeans combo. Although Collins’ Emily Cooper doesn’t typically wear clothing like this, I must say, she nailed this look for the press run!
As you know, I find it fascinating how relevant some celebrities’ style choices can be. Lily’s carefree yet chic ensemble is something I would love to emulate.
Flashing her enviable abs, Collins teamed the same black crop bralette from earlier with low-rise, light-wash, straight-leg denim jeans. She layered a black blazer over her easygoing ensemble to give it a modestly sophisticated touch, which I know Emily would approve of.

Collins carried her press tour necessities in a black Cartier top-handle bag featuring the C hardware on the front for an added touch of elegance.
Her shoes are the most interesting part of her ensemble, hands down, though I can’t see Emily Cooper wearing them.
Fishnet shoes are one of the most controversial shoe trends these days. Although they’re fun and unique, I’m not sure if I could wear them because they seem uncomfortable and too unconventional.
Lily opted for the $860 Alaia fishnet ballet flats made of 90% polyamide and 10% calf leather with lambskin leather lining. These Mary Jane flats have straps across the vamps, round toes, and rubber soles for traction.

Daring in Dior Fishnet Mini Dress and Classic Manolo Blahnik Pumps
Showcasing another daring take on corpcore, Lily Collins flew to Paris last week for the Emily in Paris Season 4 photocall wearing a see-through dress with a blazer.
To be honest, I love it when Lily wears black because it makes her appear even more brilliant and luminous. Her minidress for the photocall, in my opinion, complements her figure and complexion well, though I must say it’s too bold for my preference.
She wore a fishnet dress from Christian Dior’s Pre-Fall 2024 collection. It features a see-through net bodice with crystal embellishments, a cleavage-baring scoop neck, and a mini skirt with fringe tassels that skim her knees. Lily wore a tiny black bra and high-waisted knickers for the much-needed coverage.

To toughen up the edgy and bold piece, Lily layered an oversized black satin blazer. She left it open to showcase her exquisite dress.
Lily accessorized the monotone look with Cartier jewelry, offering an extra dash of sparkle. She wore the Cartier Pluie De Cartier white gold earrings set with 47 4.08ct. brilliant-cut diamonds and two 0.21ct. baguette-cut diamonds. She also donned the $43,800 Reflection De Cartier 18k white gold ring with 16 1.03ct. brilliant-cut diamonds and 12 1.13 ct. baguette-cut diamonds.
A pair of classic black pumps helped balance the look, in my opinion. They’re the all-time favorite Manolo Blahnik “BB” pumps made in Italy from black calf leather with pointed toes and 4-inch stiletto heels.

Goddess in Gilded Schiaparelli Laminated Dress and Brown Mules
At the Emily in Paris Season 4 Part 2 red carpet held at The Space Cinema Moderno Roma in Italy, Lily Collins looked every inch the superstar in a Schiaparelli Fall 2024 gilded gown designed by Daniel Roseberry.
As a bodycon, it flawlessly hugs her incredible figure, accentuating every curve with its laminated viscose material. This brilliant gown epitomizes the Italian house’s whimsical and extravagance-filled aesthetic with its striking bijoux straps and plunging neckline.

Although the dress is already quite beautiful, Lily stacked several Schiaparelli brass bangles on her right arm to accentuate her goddess-like aura.
Her blunt bob looked amazing worn straight, adding to the overall effect of the outfit.
While I’d prefer a pair of gold heels to complete the gilded look, Lily chose a whimsical pair from Schiaparelli. She donned the brown velvet Bijoux mules, recognizable by their S-shaped bijou heel set with gold and pearl rhinestones.
With their bold and eye-catching silhouette, these peep-toe mules will undoubtedly draw attention and start a conversation.
