Everybody Wanted to Dress the Cast of Emily in Paris For Season 2

Emily in Paris costume designer Marylin Fitoussi describes dressing the characters on the hit Netflix series like a game of chess. "I need to check that every outfit is really well coordinated and goes well with the location. If they decide to change the color of the wall to green and you have Emily in the green Elie Saab jacket, you need to have option two ready at a moment's notice for emergency," she explains to me over Zoom. That's commitment.

"I hope Emily in Paris gives people the idea that you need to break all the rules."

Marylin consults with famed stylist, Sex and the City's Patricia Field on the wardrobe, which is reason enough to justify EIP's status as one of the most fashionable shows on TV, but then there is the controversy that surrounded season one, from the questionable Golden Globe nods and the plot line that falls short of its intended escapism to the inaccurate depiction of the fashion marketing industry.

Fitoussi describes it as the series that people love to hate in Paris, and yet, everybody's watching it. Established as the most popular comedy series of 2020 with 58 million households tuning in the first month after its debut, there's no denying the show's impact. Especially not when so many brands responded enthusiastically about collaborating with Marylin and her team to dress main characters Lily Collins, Ashley Park, Camille Razat, Philippine Leroy-Beaulieu, and Samuel Arnold. "We received a lot of things that we never had. Everybody wanted to have their handbags showing in season two. So that was the difference - there was way more brand collaboration," Marylin said.

Her crew also had a lot more time to prep for season two in comparison to season one, and a lot more freedom from Patricia Field, who threw her the reins. "She gave me almost total freedom to choose the designers that I wanted to work with, so I decided to focus mostly on French brands and spotlight young French designers as much as I could," Marylin told POPSUGAR.

While Emily's style is still as eclectic as ever, we begin to sense a true evolution from Mindy, Camille, Julien, and Sylvie, who wear brands like Oscar de la Renta, Yves Saint Laurent, Kenzo, and more throughout the episodes. It's safe to say we can credit their colorful looks for keeping the viewers so engaged, if it's not the story arc. Ahead, read quotes from both Marylin and Camille Razat to get a breakdown of each person's unique style in season two.

I Tried the Viral One-Leg Jeans, and I Got Plenty of Stares

If you're into fashion and an avid TikTok scroller, you've probably come across the viral and somewhat controversial Coperni one-leg jeans . People who got their hands on them are asking followers how they should style them - and even whether or not they should keep them. Those who are still on a waitlist or are simply curious about the trend are going so far as to DIY the jeans by taking a scissor to one leg of an old pair. I, on the other hand, dared to step into the Romeo Hunte Black One Leg Pant ($232, originally $725), an alternative take on the same silhouette that's even more eye-catching (which, how is that possible?). These jeans were, without a doubt, one of the most polarizing looks I've ever worn - and I've tried some pretty divisive clothing, from Skims butt-enhancing shapewear to the brand's famous push-up nipple bra , and many a sheer naked dress . After wearing the jeans around town to run errands and obviously attracting some attention (st...

Oh, to Be Pedro Pascal's Sparkly Cardigan

Never have we been more envious of an inanimate object than when Pedro Pascal stepped out in a sparkly cardigan this week. As soon as we saw him walking the streets of London wearing the glittery knit, we longed to swap places with it - to be enrobing the heartthrob, catching the attention of random passersby, sparking internet discourse, and ultimately taking responsibility for his style breakout. Pascal has been serving look after look while promoting " The Last of Us " season one and "The Mandalorian" season three this year, working with stylists Julie Ragolia and Fabio Immediato . His latest came on Feb. 23 when he arrived to a radio interview wearing the shiny cardigan in question: a long button-down sweater made of silver foil yarn and created by menswear label 4SDesigns. He layered it over a sheer brown tank top and finished the look with black pants, leather boots, and his usual chunky-framed glasses. Just one day prior, the actor stopped by a photo call...

Katy Perry Takes Inspiration From "Kill Bill" in Yellow Moto Jacket and Low-Rise Jeans

Katy Perry is making the press rounds ahead of the upcoming season of "American Idol." On March 28, the competition judge and singer was spotted leaving "Good Morning America" in casual, off-duty street style that turned heads. She wore distressed, low-rise R13 Denim jeans that sat at her hips, as well as a white baby tee under a cropped leather Balenciaga jacket . With its thick black stripes running down the sleeves, the yellow race jacket was reminiscent of Uma Thurman 's iconic tracksuit in "Kill Bill." Wearing an assortment of rings on each of her left fingers, Perry also carried a yellow coffee cup with her other hand to match her jacket. As for the rest of her cool outfit, which was curated by stylist Tatiana Waterford , pointed black heels peeked out from the floor-length denim and sporty cat-eye sunglasses shielded the singer's eyes. The edgy ensemble was one of three outfits she wore on Tuesday. Perry arrived on the morning-show set ...
