Why Lily Collins Wears Less Pink and More Pants in "Emily in Paris" Season 3

Fitoussi describes Camille (Camille Razat) as a minimalist who rarely wears bold color or statement jewels as a nod to classic Parisian style. She does, however, have dramatic switch-ups in aesthetic, from girly sequined minidresses to more boyish cuts, such as traditionally tailored pantsuits. "She reflects another kind of femininity that it's nice to have in the show," Fitoussi told POPSUGAR.

Fitoussi says Madeline (Kate Walsh) takes a "bigger is better" approach to style, which is very much an American sensibility that Emily also projects. AZ Factory, Herve Leger, and vintage Mugler were some of the brands Fitoussi chose to build out Madeline's wardrobe this season.

"Since she's the only recurring American character we have . . . we decided to exaggerate aspects of the American aesthetic, to caricature them a little bit. It's always very good-natured and very good-spirited. We exaggerate a little on the size of the jewels, the excess of the jewels," Fitoussi told Netflix.

Sylvie (Philippine Leroy-Beaulieu) and Madeline (Kate Walsh) have a power clash this season, which culminates at Pierre Cadault's retrospective, where they both show up in the same dress, albeit accessorized differently. The look comes courtesy of designer Stéphane Rolland, who makes a cameo in the episode.

"I chose [the dress] because there is a very devilish side to Sylvie at the time," Fitoussi explained to Netflix. "I wanted it very minimalist; a black dress with an arch that was completely innovative in its construction. We had to make a double of this dress for Kate Walsh, who arrived a few days before the shoot, so we all crossed our fingers that it would be as beautiful on her body as it was on Philippine's physique, and it was." Walsh's look is further exaggerated with an Elsa Peretti snake necklace meant to feel a little tacky and poke fun at her American sense of style.

Mindy's fellow band member Étienne (Jin Xuan Mao) has a wardrobe full of pieces bought from luxury retailer and vintage sites for season three. In the first episode, Fitoussi reveals he wears items from Parisian shop Addicted, along with the above sheer Bershka leggings. She sourced plenty of Cavalli pieces for him throughout the rest of the season.

Mindy's (Ashley Park) jumpsuit was bought from the Mugler fashion house by the wardrobe department, meant to reflect her explosive joy when she sings Dua Lipa's "Don't Start Now" onstage. Many of Mindy's stage costumes, sourced from young designers that work in the drag scene, were a subtle salute to Lido cabaret, an establishment that recently closed in Paris.

Emily's pink feather cape is important to the plot line of the story, shares Fitoussi. It marks one of the last times she wears the bright fuchsia shade of pink, which we saw her in often throughout the first two seasons. Now, Emily has evolved into a more Parisian look with a softer palette, and Sylvie's more muted aesthetic is rubbing off on her.

"When I knew that she was supposed to fall [from the Eiffel Tower in her dream], I wanted her to look like a paradise bird," Fitoussi said. She custom-created the cape from scratch and then had it sent to Marcy Plumes, who dyed the feathers pink and red to complement the Magda Butrym dress worn underneath. Fitoussi told Netflix she was inspired by visions of Jean-Paul Goude's ad for Chanel starring Vanessa Paradis. The look is finished with a pair of mint Casadei platform pumps.
