If Emily in Paris has taught us anything, it’s that subtlety is optional. With the new season dropping this Thursday, fashion fans are once again bracing themselves for a visual feast that lives somewhere between couture fantasy, maximalism, and pure romanticism. Love it or critique it, the show’s wardrobe has never played it safe and that’s precisely the point.
Over the seasons, Emily in Paris has delivered some of television’s most unapologetically over-the-top fashion moments. Think sculptural silhouettes worn to casual meetings, head-to-toe colour clashes that defy logic, and accessories that feel theatrical. It’s fashion that announces itself.
The press event looks only reaffirm this commitment to drama and as the new season approaches, expectations are naturally sky-high. We’re hoping to see the extravagance dialled up a notch because Emily in Paris reminds us why fashion exists beyond practicality.
Black & white maximalism
These Saint Laurent black-and-white moments showcase maximalism at its most controlled, they are dramatic without being loud. Adorned in graphic prints, sharp tailoring, and layered textures proving that colour isn’t a prerequisite for impact.
Step out sunshine
Emily’s sunshine-yellow moment is pure fashion optimism. This look is impossible to ignore, leaning into playful maximalism with a polished edge and textures. Against Parisian stone backdrops, the colour feels almost rebellious.
Focus on accessory
Mindy’s belt-heavy look with studded oversized rings and layered hardware, turns utility into ornament, transforming something functional into a full-blown statement. Paired with confident styling and a no-apologies attitude, it feels insanely bold and perfectly in tune with Emily in Paris’ love for fashion that dares to be seen.
A take on Cruella
This striped masquerade moment is Emily in Paris at its most theatrical look. Graphic black-and-white lines sculpt the body with precision, while the oversized hat, mask, and sweeping skirt push the look firmly into fantasy territory.
A Soft kind of drama
This look feels like Emily in Paris discovering quiet extravagance. The painterly green coat, softened by a blush scarf and finished with earrings, leans into romance and emotions.
All Eyes, All Feathers
Crystals catch the light with every movement, while the dramatic sweep of feathers adds texture, softness, and a touch of theatre. The look is indulgent and confidently excessive, the kind of outfit that suits Mindy’s personality that commands attention.
What we can hope for in season 5
The Emily in Paris season 5 set to return to netflix, on the 18th of December is highly anticipated by fashion lovers and couture enthusiasts. The previews of what to expect on thursday this week, already showcase a variety of maiximalist fashion, along with summer hues and quiet luxury looks intertwined in the mix.
Here are some pieces from fashion houses that seem to belong in this season’s wardrobe.
