Could you do a throwback analysis on "The Devil wears Prada", notably the "real" Emily in Paris? Read somewhere in the comments that this is the only Emily that would have deserved to be in Paris, which I find hilarious.
For real I'd rather watch an in depth long form video of Devil Wears Prada film than any part of this show that is just so subpar. We need to stop giving this show more attention than it deserves.
Say what you will about Carrie Bradshaw, I always believed that she dressed herself. Emily's outfits look so contrived, colourful yet somehow completely joyless. And speaking of joyless, don't get me started on that rigid perfect hair. Also, who the hell goes running braless in an unsupportive asymmetric top?
This is the best comment on the difference between Carrie’s and Emily’s style! Emily’s outfits aren’t just bad. They look contrived. SJP not only pulled off some outrageous outfits but I did believe that it was Carrie’s own style. And finally someone mentions those rigid hair waves! That hairstyle makes her style look even more atrocious because that stiff hair doesn’t go with the quirky clothing.
I almost never wear a bra, and yet I will still put a sports bra on when I go running. I don't think any person in their right mind goes running in an asymmetrical top, like why do that to yourself
"Joyless" is really a great description. I remember how Fields always used to add these quirky details which I really loved (a belt, a statement necklace ...).
We as a community need to address Emily’s hair. Somehow the stylist found the most annoying middle part and wave pattern possible, and I honestly respect that
I actually really like her hair. I’m not sure why everyone hates this show. It’s not as bad as other shows like river sale because it makes sense. Yes it’s not perfect on cultural references but why hate on just her hair? It looks much nicer than Carrie Bradshaws hair. It doesn’t look like it holds all day, but then you should hate every show because no show shows their actors hair naturally and they do touch ups every scene.
@@sarahbowtell4843 Not in the first season. It didn't suit her face. I also have curly hair and sometimes I wish it was straight so maybe I'm biased. But I never hated the show just because of a character's/actor's hair. I loved the show.
She and the two guys Emily befriends at her company, are literally the only good things in that show. Actually, without Emily the show would be fairly enjoyable if it just chronicled the lives of all the French people and had her super rich Chinese friend as the main character. They’re all super likable, but inexplicably all befriend the most obnoxious ugly American “main character” stereotype ever created.
In my mind, Patricia field hates Emily just as much as we do which is why she keeps putting her in fugly clothes. Until Emily becomes a better person, she'll forever be stuck in these clothes
@Ananya Subramani i agree with that, but if that's true (which I believe it is) then the fact that early 2000's are back should have helped her? A lot of Carrie's style could be done today so I don't get it 😭
@@1957DLT Carrie was a mess but she had some great looks. And there was something about SPJ that pulled off some outrageous outfits. I believed that Carrie had her own style that she enjoyed. Emily’s style is always atrocious and Lily is too sweet looking to pull off the borderline ones. And I definitely don’t believe that Emily pulled together those outfits.
i think the main reason is that emily doesn't wear the clothes, the clothes wear her to the point where they become their own character and that should never be the goal when costuming for a film or show. and i don't think that's lily's fault, emily's outfits just never make sense for what the show tells us about her personality.
I couldn’t even finish the first episode of season 2. Not because of the storyline, it was because her clothing assaulted me with such force I was getting ill.
The problem is that Carrie is HELD accountable many times for her actions (Charlotte and Miranda always remind her when she is making a mistake in the OG series), she is supposed to be "imperfect" and "messy". Meanwhile Emily is portrayed as this all put together woman and "good" person....but the truth is that she isn't.
Exactly!! Carrie’s style is also discussed and woven into the narrative of the show and her evoloving character. With Emily we’re left scratching our heads at best or annoyed that none of this makes any sense.
Omg that more than anything pisses me off, when her friend that is the heiress says something like “she’s my best friend and the best person I know” I literally said out loud “girl have you met this chick?” Everything about this show is cute and fun, DESPITE her being in it, if they removed her and just loosely connected all the characters without her it would be a good cute show, instead of something we all hate watch lmao
I really like Carrie’s style but the character is soooo annoying! I only watched satc for the other characters. As for Emily, I really dislike the looks and the character! 😂
Emily is a horrible person. The fact that she's constantly confused and sad when someone doesn't like her or likes her horrible work ethic shows that she is self-involved a.f. as well. She went to work at a foreign country without knowing the language, didn't consider how her coworkers when it came to her work attitude nonsense, slept with her potential client's underage son, lost her client's one of a kind design necklace, doesn't understand the date system of the foreign country she works in which would have caused a faux pas had she not had slept with her friend/potential client's boyfriend. And how casually she still pines after a CHEATER who is still in a relationship with his girlfriend while she is also in a relationship with someone else.This fool is not only horribly unprofessional but she's also a very bad person and there is no way you can't paint her as a good person.
As an American who did live in Paris (didn’t speak any French, worked in marketing, the whole shebang), my friends and I dressed as minimalist and muted as possible. If you dress like you’re trying, you’re instantly garish and laughable. Emily would’ve been judged on the street, let alone in a workplace. It’s heinous.
@@katc2040 That’s not true in large cities like New York or LA. Not everyone would dress in sweatpants or athletic wear to work. Especially work, you should try to be professional and look like you rolled out of bed. Also that’s for a regular job, Emily is in marketing so she is expected to look even more dressed. Yea she outdoes it and she should look more like Slyvie but I like the dreamy ness of it all. To me, no one would wear a tutu like Carrie Bradshaw especially since her job is only being a writer.
@@nostalgia545 most people that arent youtubers or wealthy dont live in LA or New york, and im not talking about at work, although LA seems to be the opposite in terms of professional looking work attire
@@jeanievan4037 no, no its not for the average person. people exist outside of the west and east coasts you know. and from the way you both type, im guessing you're nowhere near my age either. I live in a big city but i still live in the south so its weird to look out of place or to be noticeable. Yall can not just tell me my experiences arent true lol.
Absolutely. And the hair. If they wanted to show that she was so “different” why didn’t they go for really stereotypical preppy/American style? It would have had some fans and she would have looked good/pretty but would still stick out in her French office and then pivot her into more City looks as time went on. She would have looked out of touch, yes but this style make her look clueless and unaware (which I guess she is). But so unlikeable!
I came for the roast, but I stayed for the badly photoshopped images of Emily taking a selfie of the stores she should have shopped in. Thank you for this wonderful additional editing flourish
We had “ non -uniform “ days here in the uk once every year so you’d come in trying to impress every pre teen at school wearing every bit of obnoxious colourful patterned crap you had …I now wish Emily’s workplace had a uniform
In my mind Emily is purposefully dressed this bad to along with the narrative of the clueless American that tries to show off every single branded item they own/ create a flashy appearance (for the show of course)
yeah but there should still be a way to dress someone like that with it being at least entertaining and not so genuinely offputting . cuz it irks and kind of discredits and makes the whole show unlikable
I think Emily's clumsy style is a metaphor for what Luc or Julien said in the show, about how you can't regurgitate French culture back at a French person and expect them to like it. Emily's wardrobe reflects how she's an in-between space that doesn't know where to go. She is so desperate for the Parisian fashion experience, but cannot let go of her American loud buy everything sensibility. She wants French Fashion the American way. And she's also between two friends who influence her. Mindy's loud but well put-together style is a confidence and self-dependence that Emily wants for herself. Camille is also a lot of the person that Emily wants to become-she has the chic art job, and the picturesque french family, and the hot chef boyfriend. Emily tries to be both of them at the same time. So i think her style is very much, wanting Camille's effortless grace and sleek silhouettes but wanting the loudness and confidence of Mindy. Emily is all about thinking she was so sure of herself and her plans and her actions but finding that she actually doesn't have everything put together, that she doesnt really still know what she wants or who she is. And that echoes back to the dillemma she has in the ending of season two.
Even though there is certainly some intention to her looks they should not necessarily be so incredibly ugly. Her trying to be Parisian without getting it could have been so much better. The show is entertaining enough but if you want to throw up every time she wears a different look it is distracting and not helping the scenario.
I think the main problem with Emily's outfits is that a lot of the color and styling combinations look like they were pulled straight from 2013-2016. Even current pieces seem to be styled as if they were trying to emulate trends from eight or nine years ago. For example that rainbow jacket, the mint green and white dress, the overuse of bright sequins, the horrible clashing patterns etc. Everything looks way too colorful and overdone, like she can't wear neutrals. I get that she's the main character but it's really strange considering the other characters look much more current.
Either Emily should be a Zara / H&M girl and dress tackily but not designer… ooor her character should seem a bit more interested in fashion… because for a girl that owns that crazy of a wardrobe, with many designer pieces , for her to NEVER show interest or knowledge about any fashion whatsoever, seems a bit weird… I mean if the idea is to make her the next Carrie, give the girl some storyline that shows she is a fashion girl… frustrating
I mean, yeah. With her budget... I'm a 25 year old living in Argentina and here h&m, Zara, Abercrombie or Forever21 are upper middle class clothes. I, for example, dress with those brands, so... It would be normal for Emily to dress like that at her age and with her budget as I said before. She is not rich, she is just a normal girl with a normal job, lol.
I agree with you on the Zara/H&M girl. Like her or not, you get the vibe Carrie was cool. She went to sample sales, had up and coming designer friends or connections at PR agencies. Emily seems to have an insane budget and no taste. The hair and the hats also kill me.
Yes they should have Emily dress in more H&M and Channel with dabbles into Coach, Michael Coores and Tory Birch for purses. It makes more sense for Emily (at her age and possible income bracket) to take utilitarian clothes or vintage finds and use styling to elevate her look. Then we could see her in contrast trying to keep up with her fashion and grow in her styling as she grows in France.
No it isn't because no one thinks she looks good. She's rather an example of no matter how skinny and beautiful you are, some outfits are just bad and will look bad despite a thin frame and cute face.
Why is it ok to bash her body type. If you call people fat it is viewed as fat shamminng, but calling her skinny is fine???? Lilly Collins has always been quite skinny.
The thing I didn't like most about the outfit is the fact that they are not weather related! The serie should be set during summer and they even say that it is scalding hot in Paris, which it is during summer especially because of the lack of AC, but nonetheless we see tons of jackets, blazers and long sleeves, it doesn't make sense and puts you out of the setting
I think Emily's clothes are so loud and all over the place because they represent her character who tries too hard to impress ,fit in everywhere, thinks everyone likes her but actually is ignorant , just makes a mess and not really likeable ....
Thanks for pointing that out. This has been my understanding too. Alfie also refers to her clothes as ‘silly’ in the French class. I have a feeling that we will see Emily’s ‘transformation’ into a chic avatar in the seasons to come
Lol. I think so too. Plus actually it’s not like this YTber is very fashionable actually. And the hair. No idea why he doesn’t look at the mirror and dress better himself. 💀
@@leilakennedy7736 Gabriel was always unlikable.. he had been flirting with emily since they met even when he had a girlfriend .. this season just intensified his actions more ..
From what I've seen in Paris, the women there are much classier (or at least, when they have a non-classy style, it is purposeful and coherent). That said, Camille certainly looks classy close to Emily, but then again, so does the dirty leek.
@@harveyspecter1855 for sure but it’s still a show about fashion she can’t wear only basic clothes. I’m just saying that she’s accurate in the way her outfits are built, the colors and the materials that are chosen for her
@@aaliyahmembia6572 not understated enough. Class is more expressed via timeless high quality pieces (max mara, nice tailored pants, a nice scarf, a good bag, quality leather shoes, etc.)
I feel like they know what they're doing with Emily's styling. All other characters are more toned down and serve as foils to her imo. Their more grounded looks show how outlandish and ostentatious she dresses in an attempt to be ~PaRiSiAn cHiC~ (the reason I think they know what they're doing is that they had Sylvie say it: the French are having their culture interpreted and fed back to them (paraphrasing). Emily is interpreting what she THINKS being chic and dressing French means and of course she's missing it. I think you called it out around the 16:00 mark. I do wish that they would tone her down as the series goes on to show her trying to truly immerse and integrate into French culture though
⬆️ this. Emily is supposed to be unlikable at this point in the story arc. She is the American trope invented by the French, mirroring the French trope invented by Americans back at them. I think this show beautifully summarizes the bizarre and amazing relationship our two cultures have: like step-siblings bound through a marriage of history and war who will always have each other’s backs even if we will never understand each other.
Emily is young, finding her way and can afford to be experimental. Almost everyone goes through that phase. Sylvie looks impeccable always and her look reflects her evolution. One thing the stylists have done superbly is to work with Lily Collins' body shape
@@jlopez7346 I think that the gloves are because one of the costume designers owns a brand that makes those fingerless motorcycle gloves...so that's kinda sketchy lol
While I agree that the way Emily dresses isn't good, I don't agree she has to wear famous brands either. She could be just stylish, the clothing doesn't have to have an expensive price tag on it... I really think this should a question of style (whatever it may be), than referencing to prada or whoever. I think the show would much more interesting if it was realistic about what kind of clothes they can afford (especially Mindy who's supposed to be broke), e.g. shopping at second hand or flipping clothes or sth
Everyone keeps mentioning how IRL Lily Collins is such a wonderful person and nothing like Emily, but it’s not like this series is “just a job” for her on the same level as, for example, for the actress who plays Camille. She is one of the producers and she seems really committed to it and I believe have enough clout to object to at least some of the more controversial elements, yet she chooses to just distance herself and keep up her “good vibes only” public image.
Very true. It also bugs me that the costume designers go out of their way to highlight her skinniness. Which bothers me because it’s so obvious that Lily has an ED. Why is Lily allowing the first episode to have a scene where she runs and it shows her incredible running time? What’s the purpose of showing that?
@@tc3693 I’m not accusing anyone of anything. Lily herself has said she’s had an ED. Anyone who has eyes will see that she has relapsed again. And I wouldn’t say anything out of respect. Except for the fact that the show is making a point to show off her skinniness at every opportunity which is irresponsible. The producers are irresponsible. Emily herself, as an executive producer who’s had treatment for her ED, should not allow the show to highlight her crazy running time that doesn’t add anything to the story. She has to know full well that all the fatphobic messaging on the show is harmful to young girls.
@@BbGun-lw5vi recovery looks different for everyone and I don’t think it’s positive or demonstrative of ED survivor ally-ship to accuse someone of relapsing
@@tc3693 Like I said, I would normally not say anything. But in this case I feel we all have a responsibility to call out the harm this show is causing. Especially to young, impressionable girls. And unfortunately, Lily’s ED is tied in with the show’s problems due to the writers and costume designers. And Lily being an executive producer is also a factor that I considered.
I feel like Emily's outfits are just not trendy or nowhere near desirable to wear. For example on Gossip Girl, it definitely fittet the New York preppy aesthetic without mocking the fashion industry... Emily is just a whole caricature of a white woman who got into fashion 3 hours ago.... Plus her body shape is almost never taking into consideration while dressing her
Her size is nearly never taken into consideration while dressing her. I suspect some of the pieces are borrowed and had to be given back, which is why sometimes they look so bad on her. If some of those cost 10k a piece, that would explain it.
@@criskp6861 imo she’s way too skinny, borderline malnourished in the way she looks. There were a few times when she wore bare mid-riff clothes or open back and all I could see was how Collins is dangerously thin and the show keeps on trying hard to glorify that fact.
I think Luke would really enjoy Villanelle’s style in Killing Eve, cause she mixes a lot of colors and prints with more chic styles and she always looks really cool
One of my favorit Emily looks was the purple Valentino dress she wore to the party in San Tropé but honestly, the retail price is 10.000!!!! How would she ever be able to go NEAR that??
"Emily in Debt" it's more realistic. Her job pays between 60k and 80k a year so... that's pure nonsense. And it's the reason I give up. So many possibilities to explore and they took the easy "just don't think" route.
@@mireille916 Anyone who has followed Lily’s career and seen her older movies like Mirror Mirror (where she was thin but healthy) knows that she’s struggling with her ED. Look for yourself if you don’t believe me. She was already underweight in season 1 of Emily in Paris but she lost even more weight. Look at her neck and collarbones. She’s lost all the fat in her face. I gasped when I saw the bones in her back when she was wearing the pink bow dress She’s spoken in the past about her ED. I really hope she gets some help soon. Although I’m very troubled by the way the costume designers are taking every opportunity to highlight her skinniness with their clothing choices.
Emily's wardrobe is that of a wealthy woman, yet she is a girl who lives in a small apartment. Where does she keep all these expensive designer clothes and accessories?
They tried so hard to make her so fashionable that at the end it looks like the clothes are not hers. Even more, some of the outfits make her look older than she is. It's just my opinion. Nice video!
Omg. I’ve got to stop but I have to comment on every comment that mentions the hair! The super prissy waves! Even at the beach it didn’t loosen up, she’s on a yacht and she’s got long doll hair (and that mullet dress with crazy sunglasses with the hair - I screamed I was so offended). Sure they are contrasting between French women and their “undone” hair like Sylvie. But there are a few stops in the middle between undone French hair and stiff long uniform waves. Could she have a few hairs out of place? Mix up the centre part? Something!
I hate how everyone was saying the styling this season was better! I think it totally got worse, especially Camilles fashion was better and way more believable in the first season. Most of Emilys outfits this season were just painful to the eyes.
@@isam1542 yes, but I thought there were some cute outfits in season 1, like the jeans with the V.W jacket or the gingham combo. All in the sense that Emily was wearing what an american might think french chic looks like. It had some trendy pieces as well. Season 2 was just atrocious, she looked like she was from another planet.
Yes! Why did they do the dirty to Camille? Everything was too much. The red sunglasses. The Balmain jacket and Patou wide leg pants. Take her back to her season 1 more pared down looks.
the only thing about her style that matches her personality, is her go-to hairstyle, which gives me 2010s influencer with a demographic of 12-year-olds, vibes
Julien’s suit with the blue undershirt was my absolute favourite look of the season! He and Sylvie’s costumes show that they know what they’re doing but they are dying on a hill over Emily. She severely needs a makeover as a condition of working for Sylvie’s firm in the next season
Hear me out: Emily IS supposed to be outrageous and embarrassing to watch. She tries so hard to be likeable. I think when she gets a reality check, she will discover her true style.
It's just not sensible. For someone in her career position and her age, she would not own such pieces. And she is just too outrageous. There's no growth or character arch in clothing or in story.
I basically finished the season because of Sylvie - the Rick Owens, the elegance, the high-low looks, were fantastic. While I get that Camille's character was looking for power because of the breakup, it was disappointing that a lot of the pieces were ill-fitting on her, which seemed distinctly un-Parisian and out of character (like the denim overalls that fit very odd around the pants and waist). Totally agree that Camille's birthday dinner outfit was very Zara tries Chanel - not bad, but I was tuning in hoping to see some fashion inspo that I wouldn't see walking through the shops in my city on a random day. Emily's bow dress was sooo literal, she wanted to be a present for her birthday, and it's tacky and makes me dislike her character more, but in that case I almost think that was the point haha, very in character perhaps.
I AM SO HAPPY THIS IS HERE. I have watched the Emily in Paris Season 1 review at least five times. You are so funny and so iconic. Thank you for bringing the facts.
If I’m being honest i kind of think that Emily’s “style” suits her , like it definitely suits lily Collins and it makes Emily seem like this “quirky” unlikable character , but like consciously cause we all want to hate on sometimes, like Emily being unlikable is one of the the reasons why many people talk about this show.
But I don’t think the show set out to make their main character unlikeable. If they did that’s a bold strategy. You get times when side characters become more popular but you at least start with making the main one likeable. It’s season 2 and there is zero sign her character has picked up any dressing tips from the French. And she dresses so inappropriately for the office. Are we meant to believe she wore one strap lace corset top dress to work in her Chicago job? So she’s adapted her style to Paris and that’s what she came up with? Help us all. (Don’t even get me started on the hats but at least they covered the hair).
The whole point of Emily's wardrobe is to make her seem like an outsider who's at odds/clueless with French fashion even though she's "into fashion." As she chooses to live in France rather than being forced into it, it would be cool to see a stylistic transition. But I think the outfits are intentionally outrageous. A character who is unlikeable to her coworkers in the show being genuinely unlikeable sounds like success on the part of the costuming team and the writers lol.
I agree, I think if she starts dressing amazing because she has finally grown up a bit and sees past her american naivité in the next season, our lovely costume designer can do a mic drop. i absolutely love how much I hated emily this season - feeling like a victim, making no choices, ruining everyone's life. Great writing! :)
Yet, how is she supposed to be able to afford that huge, garish wardrobe of clothes? And is the character supposed to be stupid? Because some of those choices are blatantly idiotic.
I'd really like to see Luke cover some of the looks of performers in A COLORS SHOW. The visual experience is such an important part of the show while allows the artists to take their twist on the concept :)
Luke, your videos just continue to get better and better. It really impresses me the way you effortlessly communicate your thoughts in these critiques, not a word out of place. It’s just plain fun to watch.
I have never watched a single episode of Emily in Paris and I never will but I hope for at least another 6 seasons and a movie because I don’t want this highly entertaining TH-cam videos to ever go away. Come through educational fashionista!
Totally agree about your opinion on dolce and gabbana !! I am totally over that brand the only thing I have left from D&G is some sunglasses I bought 7 years ago.
I love really colorful clothing and enjoyed a majority of Emily’s outfits, but as always your knowledge of fashion history, construction, and tradition really sharpens my eye in how I experience fashion. Much appreciated!
You crack me up 😅😂 I have watched a bunch of your videos this weekend and can honestly say that I am mad with TH-cam not suggesting your channel till now 👏
I always think they want to make her Blair Waldorf but Blair was wealthy upper class where it was normal to wear something extravagant, but Emily is just regular girl and it’s looks weird
The whole time I was watching these series, I just kept thinking how massive her apartment would have to be to keep all these clothes . Also her salary must be enormous to be able to afford such a colossal wardrobe. I know it’s all supposed to be in good fun but when it is this far fetched it loses any kind of plausibility. 6000 outfits later I’m exhausted by the ridiculousness of it all 😂😂😂😂
I work in that industry. She would not be earning that much to own pieces like that. Also at least Carrie's character the money for outfits were justified....
Well, tv shows like this have well paid teams of costume designers that have every opportunity to succeed. I think because Drag Race has people (including amateurs) putting together outfits with limited resources and time, it would be kind of meh to critique bad looks. Maybe if he did the best outfits in a season?
The black dress with the big pink bow is from Danish brand Rotate, it's one of their signature pieces. I find it utterly unlikely that Emily's character would know where Danmark is located, let alone wear a dress from a Danish brand.
I don’t always watch every video but you have such a way of speaking about clothes I always pop back in. Have you ever thought of doing celebrity videos breaking down several looks they wear?
I need to be thankful for Emily in Paris because it lead me to your channel! You are my kindred spirit! 🤩 Bringing my “what is she wearing” thoughts to life!
i was literally just watching your review for emily in paris season 1 a while ago, hoping you would do season two!! the universe has my back today, can't wait to watch this review
14:40 I managed an all women’s nude spa (in Seattle not Chicago), and none of the women from any culture acted so prudish as depicted in the show. Of course people like that are out there, but as someone who was around tens of thousands of naked women in America, it seems pretty inaccurate.
I don't like that word as I feel it implies that people more discreet are somehow weird or that its not the norm. In America, from what I've seen across states, Emily's reaction is normal.
for me, the biggest problem with the looks inside the show is, that its so far away from reality.. I love Patrizia Field, and I had the great pleasure to spend some days with her for the promo of the first SATC movie, so I know a little about the background of her choice for SATC, but with Emily its even more unrealistic in terms of the amount of money the looks cost - may I missed the part where its announced that her family is rich, but she could never afford this outfits and pay her rent as a normal person in Paris..
If her family is rich enough for her to buy all these clothes I imagine she would also have a proper rich persons apartment. Her wardrobe is insanely unrealistic just from the perspective of closet space. There’s no way she has space for all these items.
sadly.. i worked at an LVMH company and most people there were so stupid and indifferent that they didnt' even know or care how to pronounce their own brand names.
I read the title, thought "Brutal" and excitedly clicked on the video. God I was not disappointed. HauteLeMode was ON FIRE. God the tea was *Chef's kiss*
The fact that Emily is running without a sports bra is worse than wearing an asymmetrical top. Bc idk about u, but my girls hurt if they are not properly supported and protected during exercise.
They work so hard to point out how skinny she is in her clothes. I dont have ED, but I do have body image issues and the way they focus sooo much on her midriff and skinny fits makes me physically uncomfortable. I protect myself by skipping episodes etc. But I watch plenty of other shows without reacting this way, so I feel like there's a large difference in how they do it. I cant put my finger on what it is, but it makes me very uncomfortable. Normally i would figure the actress has no power over that... but Lily Collins is a producer and has power in this production.
Could you do a throwback analysis on "The Devil wears Prada", notably the "real" Emily in Paris? Read somewhere in the comments that this is the only Emily that would have deserved to be in Paris, which I find hilarious.
Omg please!
For real I'd rather watch an in depth long form video of Devil Wears Prada film than any part of this show that is just so subpar. We need to stop giving this show more attention than it deserves.
yes pleaseee!!
I love confessions of a shopaholic! my favourite comfort movie. it would be amazing if Luke talked about it.
@@crystaljefferphetamine sameee
Say what you will about Carrie Bradshaw, I always believed that she dressed herself. Emily's outfits look so contrived, colourful yet somehow completely joyless. And speaking of joyless, don't get me started on that rigid perfect hair.
Also, who the hell goes running braless in an unsupportive asymmetric top?
This is the best comment on the difference between Carrie’s and Emily’s style! Emily’s outfits aren’t just bad. They look contrived. SJP not only pulled off some outrageous outfits but I did believe that it was Carrie’s own style.
And finally someone mentions those rigid hair waves! That hairstyle makes her style look even more atrocious because that stiff hair doesn’t go with the quirky clothing.
I’ve been looking for a word that describes the weird stiffness of Emily’s “American” contrived style, and joyless is the perfect word! Thanks.
I almost never wear a bra, and yet I will still put a sports bra on when I go running. I don't think any person in their right mind goes running in an asymmetrical top, like why do that to yourself
"Joyless" is really a great description. I remember how Fields always used to add these quirky details which I really loved (a belt, a statement necklace ...).
Right. The hair makes no sense with the outfits. Looks strange & out of place.
We as a community need to address Emily’s hair. Somehow the stylist found the most annoying middle part and wave pattern possible, and I honestly respect that
I actually really like her hair. I’m not sure why everyone hates this show. It’s not as bad as other shows like river sale because it makes sense. Yes it’s not perfect on cultural references but why hate on just her hair? It looks much nicer than Carrie Bradshaws hair. It doesn’t look like it holds all day, but then you should hate every show because no show shows their actors hair naturally and they do touch ups every scene.

She and the two guys Emily befriends at her company, are literally the only good things in that show. Actually, without Emily the show would be fairly enjoyable if it just chronicled the lives of all the French people and had her super rich Chinese friend as the main character. They’re all super likable, but inexplicably all befriend the most obnoxious ugly American “main character” stereotype ever created.
Honestly so true, I love her style. She is my inspiration for when I go into my late 30s.
Was watching the show yesterday and thought this very same thing
In my mind, Patricia field hates Emily just as much as we do which is why she keeps putting her in fugly clothes. Until Emily becomes a better person, she'll forever be stuck in these clothes
@Ananya Subramani i agree with that, but if that's true (which I believe it is) then the fact that early 2000's are back should have helped her? A lot of Carrie's style could be done today so I don't get it 😭
@Ananya Subramani yesss exactly! Tbh what she's doing with Emily wouldn't fly back then either, but I see the inspo from that era
I just do not understand how Patricia could style Devil Wears Prada so brilliantly, but make Carrie and Emily such frigging hot messes.
@@1957DLT Carrie was a mess but she had some great looks. And there was something about SPJ that pulled off some outrageous outfits. I believed that Carrie had her own style that she enjoyed.
Emily’s style is always atrocious and Lily is too sweet looking to pull off the borderline ones. And I definitely don’t believe that Emily pulled together those outfits.
Haha I agree
I don’t get it. Emilys style is both the most garish AND the most boring at the same time.
i think the main reason is that emily doesn't wear the clothes, the clothes wear her to the point where they become their own character and that should never be the goal when costuming for a film or show. and i don't think that's lily's fault, emily's outfits just never make sense for what the show tells us about her personality.
I couldn’t even finish the first episode of season 2. Not because of the storyline, it was because her clothing assaulted me with such force I was getting ill.
Yer PF has lost her touch it's sad
It angers md that none of the colours or patterns or texture are ever coordinated and never matches
It's like the stereotypical fashionista that comes to a boomer's mind when they hear someone likes fashion
Atleast that's my take on it
Emily's fashion is like the 2010's Disney kids grew up, but never actually evolved from their fashion.
Exactly, her style reminds me a lot of 2000's and 2010's disney shows fashion, just with high fashion brands.
This comment is everything
Yes particularly Shake it Up comes to mind
more like 2000 lol
some of Emily’s fits reminds me of Carly from iCarly
The problem is that Carrie is HELD accountable many times for her actions (Charlotte and Miranda always remind her when she is making a mistake in the OG series), she is supposed to be "imperfect" and "messy". Meanwhile Emily is portrayed as this all put together woman and "good" person....but the truth is that she isn't.
Exactly!! Carrie’s style is also discussed and woven into the narrative of the show and her evoloving character. With Emily we’re left scratching our heads at best or annoyed that none of this makes any sense.
Omg that more than anything pisses me off, when her friend that is the heiress says something like “she’s my best friend and the best person I know” I literally said out loud “girl have you met this chick?”
Everything about this show is cute and fun, DESPITE her being in it, if they removed her and just loosely connected all the characters without her it would be a good cute show, instead of something we all hate watch lmao
I really like Carrie’s style but the character is soooo annoying! I only watched satc for the other characters. As for Emily, I really dislike the looks and the character! 😂
@@joanavasconcellos4576 girl same. As out dated as SATC can be I'll happily rewatch it. You couldn't pay me to watch EIP
Emily is a horrible person. The fact that she's constantly confused and sad when someone doesn't like her or likes her horrible work ethic shows that she is self-involved a.f. as well. She went to work at a foreign country without knowing the language, didn't consider how her coworkers when it came to her work attitude nonsense, slept with her potential client's underage son, lost her client's one of a kind design necklace, doesn't understand the date system of the foreign country she works in which would have caused a faux pas had she not had slept with her friend/potential client's boyfriend. And how casually she still pines after a CHEATER who is still in a relationship with his girlfriend while she is also in a relationship with someone else.This fool is not only horribly unprofessional but she's also a very bad person and there is no way you can't paint her as a good person.
As an American who did live in Paris (didn’t speak any French, worked in marketing, the whole shebang), my friends and I dressed as minimalist and muted as possible. If you dress like you’re trying, you’re instantly garish and laughable. Emily would’ve been judged on the street, let alone in a workplace. It’s heinous.
That's exactly how it is in America too lol if you're in anything other than athlestisure or jeans it's garish and out of place
@@katc2040 That’s not true in large cities like New York or LA. Not everyone would dress in sweatpants or athletic wear to work. Especially work, you should try to be professional and look like you rolled out of bed. Also that’s for a regular job, Emily is in marketing so she is expected to look even more dressed. Yea she outdoes it and she should look more like Slyvie but I like the dreamy ness of it all. To me, no one would wear a tutu like Carrie Bradshaw especially since her job is only being a writer.
@@katc2040 this is just very incorrect lol.
@@nostalgia545 most people that arent youtubers or wealthy dont live in LA or New york, and im not talking about at work, although LA seems to be the opposite in terms of professional looking work attire
@@jeanievan4037 no, no its not for the average person. people exist outside of the west and east coasts you know. and from the way you both type, im guessing you're nowhere near my age either. I live in a big city but i still live in the south so its weird to look out of place or to be noticeable. Yall can not just tell me my experiences arent true lol.
I agree that Emily's outfits make her even more unlikeable.
Absolutely. And the hair. If they wanted to show that she was so “different” why didn’t they go for really stereotypical preppy/American style? It would have had some fans and she would have looked good/pretty but would still stick out in her French office and then pivot her into more City looks as time went on. She would have looked out of touch, yes but this style make her look clueless and unaware (which I guess she is). But so unlikeable!
luke you’re the reason why everyone (including me for the longest time 😭) pronounces “haute” incorrectly 😮💨 answer for your crimes! 😭
He explained it in the beginning as trying not to be pretentious so pronouncing it incorrectly on purpose.

Being from France myself, he actually pronounces correctly, but with a southern French accent :)
I will now be pronouncing it as 'hoot' as a form of protest
@@MikaMausArt ah bon? Après peut être je viens pas du Sud mais j’avoue que je me crispe un peu à chaque intro mdr
I came for the roast, but I stayed for the badly photoshopped images of Emily taking a selfie of the stores she should have shopped in. Thank you for this wonderful additional editing flourish
The devil’s in the details 😂
My god your comment is genius 🤣
Im sorry but who runs/exercises without some sort of a bra or chest support? First episode opening scene and I’m already mad lol

It looks so uncomfortable 😣
@@MsSphinx91 OMG! Lol I never thought of that. I hope not. Gravity would have a field day pummeling their bodies
We had “ non -uniform “ days here in the uk once every year so you’d come in trying to impress every pre teen at school wearing every bit of obnoxious colourful patterned crap you had …I now wish Emily’s workplace had a uniform
Nailed it!
That's funny. We were free to be tacky year round.
In Oz, these days are always for charity. You have to donate a gold coin ($1 or $2) to dress up. Was it the same for you?
haha yess
Lol yes we have this here as well 😆
In my mind Emily is purposefully dressed this bad to along with the narrative of the clueless American that tries to show off every single branded item they own/ create a flashy appearance (for the show of course)
It’s not just in your mind, it’s literally THE POINT with her outfits and hair/makeup
@@daeoable relax
yeah but there should still be a way to dress someone like that with it being at least entertaining and not so genuinely offputting . cuz it irks and kind of discredits and makes the whole show unlikable
At least Emily isn't wearing a new Chanel bag in every episode like she did in season 1
THISSSS! She has much more affordable and interesting bags this year!
One thing is for sure, Sylvie is single-handedly carrying this show!
Sylvie are the French Karen.
@@couch.patati-patata wash your mouth out with soap!!! Sylvie is FABULOUS
@@roxxandra I said Sylvie are, not Sylvie is.
Sylvie is everything and a palate cleanser every time she is on-screen.
I think Emily's clumsy style is a metaphor for what Luc or Julien said in the show, about how you can't regurgitate French culture back at a French person and expect them to like it. Emily's wardrobe reflects how she's an in-between space that doesn't know where to go. She is so desperate for the Parisian fashion experience, but cannot let go of her American loud buy everything sensibility. She wants French Fashion the American way. And she's also between two friends who influence her. Mindy's loud but well put-together style is a confidence and self-dependence that Emily wants for herself. Camille is also a lot of the person that Emily wants to become-she has the chic art job, and the picturesque french family, and the hot chef boyfriend. Emily tries to be both of them at the same time. So i think her style is very much, wanting Camille's effortless grace and sleek silhouettes but wanting the loudness and confidence of Mindy. Emily is all about thinking she was so sure of herself and her plans and her actions but finding that she actually doesn't have everything put together, that she doesnt really still know what she wants or who she is. And that echoes back to the dillemma she has in the ending of season two.
Makes sense the styling still makes me angry but your theory makes sense.
Even though there is certainly some intention to her looks they should not necessarily be so incredibly ugly. Her trying to be Parisian without getting it could have been so much better. The show is entertaining enough but if you want to throw up every time she wears a different look it is distracting and not helping the scenario.
I feel like this is too smart for hollywood
But mindy's style is even more hideous, it's not put together at all
Well that would be interesting if the show fleshed that out somehow.
I think the main problem with Emily's outfits is that a lot of the color and styling combinations look like they were pulled straight from 2013-2016. Even current pieces seem to be styled as if they were trying to emulate trends from eight or nine years ago. For example that rainbow jacket, the mint green and white dress, the overuse of bright sequins, the horrible clashing patterns etc. Everything looks way too colorful and overdone, like she can't wear neutrals. I get that she's the main character but it's really strange considering the other characters look much more current.
Mina Le and Luke are icons when it come to analyzing fashion. They should dress all the cast of "Emily in Paris". 🙃 Sorry, not sorry 💅
And "moderngirlsguide" imo 😊
This would be the BEST collab
@@jettka yes! Love them too!
*Luc
Yes to this!! I’d love to see them both in the costume department for films and shows in future.
Either Emily should be a Zara / H&M girl and dress tackily but not designer… ooor her character should seem a bit more interested in fashion… because for a girl that owns that crazy of a wardrobe, with many designer pieces , for her to NEVER show interest or knowledge about any fashion whatsoever, seems a bit weird… I mean if the idea is to make her the next Carrie, give the girl some storyline that shows she is a fashion girl… frustrating
Yeah it makes no sense that she's wearing all these designer pieces, both in terms of her character and the price tag.
I mean, yeah. With her budget... I'm a 25 year old living in Argentina and here h&m, Zara, Abercrombie or Forever21 are upper middle class clothes. I, for example, dress with those brands, so... It would be normal for Emily to dress like that at her age and with her budget as I said before. She is not rich, she is just a normal girl with a normal job, lol.
I agree with you on the Zara/H&M girl. Like her or not, you get the vibe Carrie was cool. She went to sample sales, had up and coming designer friends or connections at PR agencies. Emily seems to have an insane budget and no taste. The hair and the hats also kill me.
Yes they should have Emily dress in more H&M and Channel with dabbles into Coach, Michael Coores and Tory Birch for purses. It makes more sense for Emily (at her age and possible income bracket) to take utilitarian clothes or vintage finds and use styling to elevate her look. Then we could see her in contrast trying to keep up with her fashion and grow in her styling as she grows in France.
Emily in Paris is the embodiment of "is it a fit or is she just skinny."
my vote goes to skinny
No it isn't because no one thinks she looks good. She's rather an example of no matter how skinny and beautiful you are, some outfits are just bad and will look bad despite a thin frame and cute face.
Skinny, I'm fat and I look fab in simple Zara or forever 21 clothes, lol. Sometimes being just skinny and hegemonic isn't enough.
@@oAldanitao 2 thumbs up.
Why is it ok to bash her body type. If you call people fat it is viewed as fat shamminng, but calling her skinny is fine???? Lilly Collins has always been quite skinny.
everyone loves to hate on this show and I am absolutely here for it
Emily really wears like a store mannequin, just products over products over products
The thing I didn't like most about the outfit is the fact that they are not weather related! The serie should be set during summer and they even say that it is scalding hot in Paris, which it is during summer especially because of the lack of AC, but nonetheless we see tons of jackets, blazers and long sleeves, it doesn't make sense and puts you out of the setting
I love how the entire consensus is that "this show's fashion is decent, until you look at emily's"
I think Emily's clothes are so loud and all over the place because they represent her character who tries too hard to impress ,fit in everywhere, thinks everyone likes her but actually is ignorant , just makes a mess and not really likeable ....
Oooh that's an interesting way to look at it. I wished it was related in the script as well.
Thanks for pointing that out. This has been my understanding too. Alfie also refers to her clothes as ‘silly’ in the French class. I have a feeling that we will see Emily’s ‘transformation’ into a chic avatar in the seasons to come
Lol. I think so too. Plus actually it’s not like this YTber is very fashionable actually. And the hair. No idea why he doesn’t look at the mirror and dress better himself. 💀
That’s a good point. But it’s a bold move to make your main character unlikeable and clueless. (They even made Gabriel unlikeable this season too!)
@@leilakennedy7736 Gabriel was always unlikable.. he had been flirting with emily since they met even when he had a girlfriend .. this season just intensified his actions more ..
Camille’s styling is actually extremely accurate of how a wealthy Parisian woman in her late 20s/early 30s would wear
Camille's is actually still a bit excessive.
From what I've seen in Paris, the women there are much classier (or at least, when they have a non-classy style, it is purposeful and coherent). That said, Camille certainly looks classy close to Emily, but then again, so does the dirty leek.
@@harveyspecter1855 for sure but it’s still a show about fashion she can’t wear only basic clothes. I’m just saying that she’s accurate in the way her outfits are built, the colors and the materials that are chosen for her
@@isam1542 and, in your opinion, why do you thing camille’s outfits are not classy ?
@@aaliyahmembia6572 not understated enough. Class is more expressed via timeless high quality pieces (max mara, nice tailored pants, a nice scarf, a good bag, quality leather shoes, etc.)
Speaking of Gossip Girl, I'd love to hear what you have to say on their looks, like where do you stand on preppy?
I feel like they know what they're doing with Emily's styling. All other characters are more toned down and serve as foils to her imo. Their more grounded looks show how outlandish and ostentatious she dresses in an attempt to be ~PaRiSiAn cHiC~ (the reason I think they know what they're doing is that they had Sylvie say it: the French are having their culture interpreted and fed back to them (paraphrasing). Emily is interpreting what she THINKS being chic and dressing French means and of course she's missing it. I think you called it out around the 16:00 mark.
I do wish that they would tone her down as the series goes on to show her trying to truly immerse and integrate into French culture though
And unrelated to my above thoughts. You are KILLING it with the Courreges jacket mention/edit. We love to see it 👏
⬆️ this. Emily is supposed to be unlikable at this point in the story arc. She is the American trope invented by the French, mirroring the French trope invented by Americans back at them. I think this show beautifully summarizes the bizarre and amazing relationship our two cultures have: like step-siblings bound through a marriage of history and war who will always have each other’s backs even if we will never understand each other.
The show would be more boring if Emily's looks were toned down though in my opinion.
Emily is young, finding her way and can afford to be experimental. Almost everyone goes through that phase. Sylvie looks impeccable always and her look reflects her evolution. One thing the stylists have done superbly is to work with Lily Collins' body shape
we've been waiting for this luke. this is exactly why I went through the torture of season 2
What I don't understand, is why everything Emily wears needs to have a waist belt. 😳
And a kimono jacket!
Cause Lily collins has a snatched ass waist
My guess is to emphasize her girlishness and her small waist.
And fingerless gloves, yuuuuckkkk
@@jlopez7346 I think that the gloves are because one of the costume designers owns a brand that makes those fingerless motorcycle gloves...so that's kinda sketchy lol
While I agree that the way Emily dresses isn't good, I don't agree she has to wear famous brands either. She could be just stylish, the clothing doesn't have to have an expensive price tag on it... I really think this should a question of style (whatever it may be), than referencing to prada or whoever. I think the show would much more interesting if it was realistic about what kind of clothes they can afford (especially Mindy who's supposed to be broke), e.g. shopping at second hand or flipping clothes or sth
Mindy's back story is that she is loadedd. This has been referenced several times in both series. She is DEFINITELY not broke.
Everyone keeps mentioning how IRL Lily Collins is such a wonderful person and nothing like Emily, but it’s not like this series is “just a job” for her on the same level as, for example, for the actress who plays Camille. She is one of the producers and she seems really committed to it and I believe have enough clout to object to at least some of the more controversial elements, yet she chooses to just distance herself and keep up her “good vibes only” public image.
Very true. It also bugs me that the costume designers go out of their way to highlight her skinniness. Which bothers me because it’s so obvious that Lily has an ED.
Why is Lily allowing the first episode to have a scene where she runs and it shows her incredible running time? What’s the purpose of showing that?
@@BbGun-lw5vi so your body shaming someone now and accusing them of having an ED tf is wrong with you??
@@tc3693 I’m not accusing anyone of anything. Lily herself has said she’s had an ED. Anyone who has eyes will see that she has relapsed again.
And I wouldn’t say anything out of respect. Except for the fact that the show is making a point to show off her skinniness at every opportunity which is irresponsible. The producers are irresponsible.
Emily herself, as an executive producer who’s had treatment for her ED, should not allow the show to highlight her crazy running time that doesn’t add anything to the story. She has to know full well that all the fatphobic messaging on the show is harmful to young girls.
@@BbGun-lw5vi recovery looks different for everyone and I don’t think it’s positive or demonstrative of ED survivor ally-ship to accuse someone of relapsing
@@tc3693 Like I said, I would normally not say anything. But in this case I feel we all have a responsibility to call out the harm this show is causing. Especially to young, impressionable girls. And unfortunately, Lily’s ED is tied in with the show’s problems due to the writers and costume designers.
And Lily being an executive producer is also a factor that I considered.
I feel like Emily's outfits are just not trendy or nowhere near desirable to wear. For example on Gossip Girl, it definitely fittet the New York preppy aesthetic without mocking the fashion industry... Emily is just a whole caricature of a white woman who got into fashion 3 hours ago.... Plus her body shape is almost never taking into consideration while dressing her
Her size is nearly never taken into consideration while dressing her. I suspect some of the pieces are borrowed and had to be given back, which is why sometimes they look so bad on her. If some of those cost 10k a piece, that would explain it.
Can you elaborate on the body shape thing?
@@criskp6861 imo she’s way too skinny, borderline malnourished in the way she looks. There were a few times when she wore bare mid-riff clothes or open back and all I could see was how Collins is dangerously thin and the show keeps on trying hard to glorify that fact.
I think Luke would really enjoy Villanelle’s style in Killing Eve, cause she mixes a lot of colors and prints with more chic styles and she always looks really cool
Omg yes. This is the review we need. What a palette cleanser.
One of my favorit Emily looks was the purple Valentino dress she wore to the party in San Tropé but honestly, the retail price is 10.000!!!! How would she ever be able to go NEAR that??
"Emily in Debt" it's more realistic. Her job pays between 60k and 80k a year so... that's pure nonsense. And it's the reason I give up. So many possibilities to explore and they took the easy "just don't think" route.
It’s the only dress that I loved on her. Although she’s so malnourished that I couldn’t fully enjoy it.
@@BbGun-lw5vi she is just thin. stop skinny shaming
@@mireille916 Anyone who has followed Lily’s career and seen her older movies like Mirror Mirror (where she was thin but healthy) knows that she’s struggling with her ED. Look for yourself if you don’t believe me.
She was already underweight in season 1 of Emily in Paris but she lost even more weight. Look at her neck and collarbones. She’s lost all the fat in her face. I gasped when I saw the bones in her back when she was wearing the pink bow dress
She’s spoken in the past about her ED. I really hope she gets some help soon. Although I’m very troubled by the way the costume designers are taking every opportunity to highlight her skinniness with their clothing choices.
Emily's wardrobe is that of a wealthy woman, yet she is a girl who lives in a small apartment. Where does she keep all these expensive designer clothes and accessories?
They tried so hard to make her so fashionable that at the end it looks like the clothes are not hers. Even more, some of the outfits make her look older than she is. It's just my opinion. Nice video!
why is no one talking about her hair this season, it's so horrendous it makes me violent.
In both seasons those rigid waves make her outfits even worse. It doesn’t go with her supposedly quirky, fun style.
Stiff doll hair 💀
Omg. I’ve got to stop but I have to comment on every comment that mentions the hair! The super prissy waves! Even at the beach it didn’t loosen up, she’s on a yacht and she’s got long doll hair (and that mullet dress with crazy sunglasses with the hair - I screamed I was so offended). Sure they are contrasting between French women and their “undone” hair like Sylvie. But there are a few stops in the middle between undone French hair and stiff long uniform waves. Could she have a few hairs out of place? Mix up the centre part? Something!
@@leilakennedy7736 🤣🤣🤣 We must feel equally horrified by that hair because I also had to reply to every comment on her hair. I HATE it!
I hate how everyone was saying the styling this season was better! I think it totally got worse, especially Camilles fashion was better and way more believable in the first season. Most of Emilys outfits this season were just painful to the eyes.
Agree. Camille’s fashion got painted with the fugly brush this season.
Agreed about Camille. I loved her wardrobe in Season 1, but most of her outfits in Season 2 were awful.
"Most of Emilys outfits this season were just painful to the eyes."
Well, that applies to season 1 too.
@@isam1542 yes, but I thought there were some cute outfits in season 1, like the jeans with the V.W jacket or the gingham combo. All in the sense that Emily was wearing what an american might think french chic looks like. It had some trendy pieces as well. Season 2 was just atrocious, she looked like she was from another planet.
Yes! Why did they do the dirty to Camille? Everything was too much. The red sunglasses. The Balmain jacket and Patou wide leg pants. Take her back to her season 1 more pared down looks.
the only thing about her style that matches her personality, is her go-to hairstyle, which gives me 2010s influencer with a demographic of 12-year-olds, vibes
Where is part 2? Leaving me high and dry waiting for almost two months for what's going to be the best vid ever 😭

What about Samantha? Lol
@@blinkspyblackpink4613 she’s not the protagonist

I feel like he's been projecting something in his own life with both Carrie and Emily, both cheaters and made into the victim basically.
@@aspannas 👀
Loved your video. Sylvie is the sole saving grace of this show considering how they butchered Camille both in terms of fashion and character
Julien’s suit with the blue undershirt was my absolute favourite look of the season! He and Sylvie’s costumes show that they know what they’re doing but they are dying on a hill over Emily. She severely needs a makeover as a condition of working for Sylvie’s firm in the next season
for me, Sylvie is the fashion stopper in these series
“What is the color story? I have a migraine by just thinking about it.” 18:53 🤣🤣😂😂😂 so eloquently put.
I loved it when Camille outed her as a cheater in front of a whole table of dinner guests. It was what Emily deserved.
Hear me out: Emily IS supposed to be outrageous and embarrassing to watch. She tries so hard to be likeable. I think when she gets a reality check, she will discover her true style.
It's just not sensible. For someone in her career position and her age, she would not own such pieces. And she is just too outrageous. There's no growth or character arch in clothing or in story.
I basically finished the season because of Sylvie - the Rick Owens, the elegance, the high-low looks, were fantastic. While I get that Camille's character was looking for power because of the breakup, it was disappointing that a lot of the pieces were ill-fitting on her, which seemed distinctly un-Parisian and out of character (like the denim overalls that fit very odd around the pants and waist). Totally agree that Camille's birthday dinner outfit was very Zara tries Chanel - not bad, but I was tuning in hoping to see some fashion inspo that I wouldn't see walking through the shops in my city on a random day. Emily's bow dress was sooo literal, she wanted to be a present for her birthday, and it's tacky and makes me dislike her character more, but in that case I almost think that was the point haha, very in character perhaps.
I AM SO HAPPY THIS IS HERE. I have watched the Emily in Paris Season 1 review at least five times. You are so funny and so iconic. Thank you for bringing the facts.
If I’m being honest i kind of think that Emily’s “style” suits her , like it definitely suits lily Collins and it makes Emily seem like this “quirky” unlikable character , but like consciously cause we all want to hate on sometimes, like Emily being unlikable is one of the the reasons why many people talk about this show.
I havent seen the show but is she intently supposed to be unlikable?
@@ytuseracct no not really
But I don’t think the show set out to make their main character unlikeable. If they did that’s a bold strategy. You get times when side characters become more popular but you at least start with making the main one likeable.
It’s season 2 and there is zero sign her character has picked up any dressing tips from the French. And she dresses so inappropriately for the office. Are we meant to believe she wore one strap lace corset top dress to work in her Chicago job? So she’s adapted her style to Paris and that’s what she came up with? Help us all. (Don’t even get me started on the hats but at least they covered the hair).
The whole point of Emily's wardrobe is to make her seem like an outsider who's at odds/clueless with French fashion even though she's "into fashion." As she chooses to live in France rather than being forced into it, it would be cool to see a stylistic transition. But I think the outfits are intentionally outrageous. A character who is unlikeable to her coworkers in the show being genuinely unlikeable sounds like success on the part of the costuming team and the writers lol.
I agree, I think if she starts dressing amazing because she has finally grown up a bit and sees past her american naivité in the next season, our lovely costume designer can do a mic drop. i absolutely love how much I hated emily this season - feeling like a victim, making no choices, ruining everyone's life. Great writing! :)
Yet, how is she supposed to be able to afford that huge, garish wardrobe of clothes? And is the character supposed to be stupid? Because some of those choices are blatantly idiotic.
As a Chicagoan, running in puffer coats (winter coats) is pretty realistic here. There are people who run along the lake mid winter.
I'd really like to see Luke cover some of the looks of performers in A COLORS SHOW. The visual experience is such an important part of the show while allows the artists to take their twist on the concept :)
Emily's perfect hair waves are boring and I'm tired of it.
Your analysis and research is something to behold 🤩
Luke, your videos just continue to get better and better. It really impresses me the way you effortlessly communicate your thoughts in these critiques, not a word out of place. It’s just plain fun to watch.
OHHHH been waiting for this one
I have never watched a single episode of Emily in Paris and I never will but I hope for at least another 6 seasons and a movie because I don’t want this highly entertaining TH-cam videos to ever go away. Come through educational fashionista!
I am just cackling throughout this entire video. Your reads are comedic and yet still informational.... so brilliant.

I’ve never even heard of this show but enjoyed this video very much ! Thanks Luke , you’re the best !
Totally agree about your opinion on dolce and gabbana !! I am totally over that brand the only thing I have left from D&G is some sunglasses I bought 7 years ago.
I love really colorful clothing and enjoyed a majority of Emily’s outfits, but as always your knowledge of fashion history, construction, and tradition really sharpens my eye in how I experience fashion. Much appreciated!

You crack me up 😅😂 I have watched a bunch of your videos this weekend and can honestly say that I am mad with TH-cam not suggesting your channel till now 👏
Emily from The Devil Wears Prada is raging. SHE belongs in Paris. The TRUE EMILY that belongs in Paris.
Love the title Luke. What I love about this channel is the unapologetic opinions and eloquence with which they are delivered.
Is there gonna be a part 2 for season 2? 😅 not now but maybe after taking a few weeks off from season 3?
This whole show makes me feel like they tried to emulate Carrie Bradshaw's style but done wrong every single time.
Patricia field is the stylist for both
I always think they want to make her Blair Waldorf but Blair was wealthy upper class where it was normal to wear something extravagant, but Emily is just regular girl and it’s looks weird
The whole time I was watching these series, I just kept thinking how massive her apartment would have to be to keep all these clothes . Also her salary must be enormous to be able to afford such a colossal wardrobe. I know it’s all supposed to be in good fun but when it is this far fetched it loses any kind of plausibility. 6000 outfits later I’m exhausted by the ridiculousness of it all 😂😂😂😂
aaaaalll that money for those indecently expensive clothes and accessories yet she still looks badly dressed.
@@benzaiten933 yes they just seem to swamp her, too over the top, trying to create eccentricity never works , it should be more instinctual I feel
I work in that industry. She would not be earning that much to own pieces like that.
Also at least Carrie's character the money for outfits were justified....
@@ladylizcreates7719 totally agree, it’s all a bit daft….I did watch it though 😂😂😂
Could we have Haute LeMode review some of the Drag Race seasons runways? I feel like that would be so fun!
@@erinbird1228 he does react to fashion tiktoks tho, i think the drag race is a great idea
Well, tv shows like this have well paid teams of costume designers that have every opportunity to succeed. I think because Drag Race has people (including amateurs) putting together outfits with limited resources and time, it would be kind of meh to critique bad looks. Maybe if he did the best outfits in a season?
The black dress with the big pink bow is from Danish brand Rotate, it's one of their signature pieces. I find it utterly unlikely that Emily's character would know where Danmark is located, let alone wear a dress from a Danish brand.
"Unlikable in Paris"... Thank you, this was hilarious!
I am LIVING for this video. Immediately watching the other ones. You're the best!!!!
I'm gonna need a bookshelf tour
I was just thinking, I am spotting books my granny owned and she knew :')
The bold colours mixed with awful patterns hurt my eyes 😭
I don’t always watch every video but you have such a way of speaking about clothes I always pop back in. Have you ever thought of doing celebrity videos breaking down several looks they wear?
i’ve done a couple! zendaya’s looks for dune and cardi b during paris fashion week are some recent ones!!!
@@hautelemode I will check them out! Ahhh you responded!❤️❤️❤️❤️ much love to you.
I'd love to see a full review of Sylvie's outfits in both seasons! it's unbelievable how chic she looks every scene
I need to be thankful for Emily in Paris because it lead me to your channel! You are my kindred spirit! 🤩 Bringing my “what is she wearing” thoughts to life!
i was literally just watching your review for emily in paris season 1 a while ago, hoping you would do season two!! the universe has my back today, can't wait to watch this review
14:40 I managed an all women’s nude spa (in Seattle not Chicago), and none of the women from any culture acted so prudish as depicted in the show. Of course people like that are out there, but as someone who was around tens of thousands of naked women in America, it seems pretty inaccurate.
I don't like that word as I feel it implies that people more discreet are somehow weird or that its not the norm. In America, from what I've seen across states, Emily's reaction is normal.
I was waiting for this since the release of season 2 😭
"To be honest, the dirt-covered leek is far more elegant than Emily ever will be." 😂😂😂
I just assumed that Emily's fashion is meant to be as stunted as her maturity and emotional range. She's deeply unpleasant- a real frenemy.
You are SOOOOO knowledgeable! I admire you! Thank you, I don’t watch this show, but I LIVE for your reviews 😂
for me, the biggest problem with the looks inside the show is, that its so far away from reality.. I love Patrizia Field, and I had the great pleasure to spend some days with her for the promo of the first SATC movie, so I know a little about the background of her choice for SATC, but with Emily its even more unrealistic in terms of the amount of money the looks cost - may I missed the part where its announced that her family is rich, but she could never afford this outfits and pay her rent as a normal person in Paris..
If her family is rich enough for her to buy all these clothes I imagine she would also have a proper rich persons apartment. Her wardrobe is insanely unrealistic just from the perspective of closet space. There’s no way she has space for all these items.
ever since the new season of emily in paris came out I was waiting for your video reviewing her fashion
Literally just rewatched your season 1 review cause i was waiting for this!!
Omg I need the next half I AM LIVING FOR THIS COMMENTARY ON THE FASHION AND THE CHARACTERS
sadly.. i worked at an LVMH company and most people there were so stupid and indifferent that they didnt' even know or care how to pronounce their own brand names.
I read the title, thought "Brutal" and excitedly clicked on the video. God I was not disappointed. HauteLeMode was ON FIRE. God the tea was *Chef's kiss*
This video is literally the only reason why I put myself through the pain of watching the second season.
you have no idea how long i’ve been waiting for this video 🤣 clicked at first sight!
emily in paris aside, i love your sweater!!! also obsessed with the blue on blue combination! i was wondering where it's from?
yesss it’s stunning with his skin tone and dark hair
@@laewo7944 you know it!!
I let out an audible gasp at that pantaloon reveal. Truly just a war crime being committed right in front of my eyes
The fact that Emily is running without a sports bra is worse than wearing an asymmetrical top. Bc idk about u, but my girls hurt if they are not properly supported and protected during exercise.
I thought the same thing, lol!! No woman with any amount of boob would jog in a ribbed white tank with no bra, let alone sports bra.
They work so hard to point out how skinny she is in her clothes. I dont have ED, but I do have body image issues and the way they focus sooo much on her midriff and skinny fits makes me physically uncomfortable. I protect myself by skipping episodes etc. But I watch plenty of other shows without reacting this way, so I feel like there's a large difference in how they do it. I cant put my finger on what it is, but it makes me very uncomfortable. Normally i would figure the actress has no power over that... but Lily Collins is a producer and has power in this production.
