Here are 16 of Emily’s most extravagant season three outfits, ranked from least to most memorable. (Warning, spoilers ahead … )

16. Emily’s swimsuit on episode five is a lot of gingham to handle

It’d be a lie to say that any of Emily’s outfits on season three of Emily in Paris are a complete mess. But her green gingham Leslie Amon bathing suit on episode five is a lot of gingham to handle, though our protagonist is no stranger to it.

Her white L. G. R Twiga sunglasses and Tod’s Raffia buckle flat sandals give the outfit a slight old-Hollywood feel and tone it down. But it’s one-note overall and ultimately doesn’t deserve as much attention as some of her other ensembles.

The bathing suit also has a similar vibe to a blue polka dot dress that she wears on the very next episode that’s easier to look at, but not daring at all.

15. Her orange H&M dress on episode four is very loud

Emily makes quite the statement on episode four while touring Paris in an Iris Apfel x H&M orange ruffle long-sleeved minidress. It’s saved from being a disaster by Maison Skorpios turquoise metallic knee-high boots, which certainly make it memorable.

14. The Louis Vuitton skirt on episode three is cheapened by denim

Emily’s Louis Vuitton colour-block leather miniskirt from episode three is so gorgeous that we’re not even mad that it’s not currently available to the public. She pairs it with a red midi cut-out top and rounds out the look with purple suede Gianvito Rossi over-the-knee boots.

But, sadly, the denim jacket she wears over the top somehow cheapens the otherwise elegant outfit.

13. Her checkered fringe look on episode five is just the right amount of busy

Somehow, Emily pulls off both a black-and-white houndstooth pattern and fringe at Alfie’s (Lucien Laviscount) party on episode five. She’s wearing Balmain head-to-toe, which is exactly why it works. The romper and jacket aren’t currently available to the public.

They epitomise Emily’s sense of style by allowing her to be bold and tasteful at the same time, but not everyone could pull it off.

12. She wears a bold print well on episode seven

Emily paired a Mary Katrantzou vintage print shift dress with a colour-blocked windbreaker from Tod’s and purple suede Gianvito Rossi over-the-knee boots during an outing with her colleagues on episode seven.

The resulting vibe is slightly futuristic and a refreshing reminder that Emily’s fashion risks often succeed.

11. Not many people can pull off a multicoloured neon jacket like Emily did

Emily wears a multicoloured, checkered Mira Mikati jacket over a striped shirt to the office on episode five. The matching shorts would’ve been too much, even for her. But Emily In Paris costume designer Marylin Fitoussi wisely chose cobalt argent stretch wool trousers instead.

The look is an acquired taste for sure, and we wouldn’t have chosen the Pierre Hardy alpha colour-block tote bag to go with it, but the neon suit is definitely impossible to forget.

10. Her first metallic look is either a mess or a success

On the first episode of the season, one of Emily’s first outfits is an Essentiel Antwerp cadaques multicolour jumper, a Dundas Tanner metallic skirt and Maison Skorpios Adriana 90 leather tall boots in a shade of green.

The outfit is a lot of pattern, colour and shine to handle together. Viewers probably either love or hate this look – wehappen to love it.

9. Emily takes a much-needed break from all the colours she wears this season on episode eight

She wore black twice and we like the Moschino buckle-trim pointed-shoulder minidress better than the Andrew Gn pointed-shoulder cropped jacket.

Both pieces have pointed shoulders that are reminiscent of the 80s. But the buckle detail on the dress makes it bolder. Plus, the cut-out in the back is absolutely stunning.

8. Her first look of the season is better without the jacket

If anyone can pull off feathers, it’s Emily (and Collins). But to keep it short and sweet, the Magda Butrym printed cut-out georgette minidress has enough stunning details without the feathery jacket, custom-made by Fitoussi, plonked over the dress.

7. Emily’s velvet blazer towards the end of the season is pitch perfect

Emily wore a velvet Balmain blazer on episode eight, and while it’s not exactly a “power suit”, it’s arguably her best “power look” of the season. Paired with her sparkly shoes, Emily gives off “Cinderella in the boardroom” vibes.

6. Balmain is the star of Emily in Paris season three

Balmain makes its third showing on this list for the black, white and silver striped print long-sleeved minidress that Emily wears to an event on episode eight. The circular pattern on the chest gives it just enough edge to get attention. The statement shoulders also give the dress some extra character.

5. Emily gives a simple dress some “flounce” in Provence

The Giuseppi di Morabito floral-print corset minidress that Emily wears in Provence on episode six is lovely. But it would also be forgettable if not for the H&M flounced jacket paired with it. The look is proof that accessories are often essential.

4. Her paisley print jacket on episode four steals the show

It’s unclear what Collins is wearing underneath this Miu Miu green paisley print silk and wool coat while filming episode four, but it doesn’t matter. Statement pieces like this one that can stop someone in their tracks are why some viewers watch the show for its fashion, not the narrative.

3. Small details make Emily’s floral finale dress unique

Emily wears a Giambattista Valli pink floral couture gown from the autumn 2019 collection to Gabriel (Lucas Bravo) and Camille’s (Camille Razat) wedding. It’s so exclusive, it’s not available to the public either.

Small details like the statement frill collar, bell sleeves and a train set this dress apart from a typical floral dress worn by any wedding guest. We hate to say it, but she outshone the bride.

2. The dress she wears to watch Mindy perform outshines almost every other outfit of the season

Emily’s Paco Rabanne mesh dress in silver has a stunning pink ombre effect. The button detail and high neckline also give the garment a distinct personality. It’s somehow sequinned, fun and elegant at once – a rare feat.

She doesn’t quite outshine Mindy’s (Ashley Park) Thierry Mugler neon yellow illusion-shaping bodysuit and matching mesh-panelled stirrup leggings, though. That’s for the best, since Mindy is the star of the show that night in episode three.

1. Emily’s zebra print structured jacket is obviously the most memorable piece she wears

Emily’s Dolce & Gabbana zebra print jacquard structured jacket certainly turns heads on episode two when she attends Pierre Cadault’s (Jean-Christophe Bouvet) event.

The black-and-silver zebra print is bold but refined and the structure of the jacket adds sophistication to the look. Emily’s fashion choices succeed the most when they’re calculated risks, as this one appears to be. She’s a walking reminder that fashion is art.
