Lily Collins’ Emily Cooper simply worked as the Romans in the last few episodes Emily in Paris.
The star of the Netflix rom-com dished exclusively to PEOPLE on Tuesday, Sept. 10, about her favorite outfit from the second installment of Season 4 of the show. The outfits for Season 4, Part 2 have a noticeable departure from Emily’s previous style, which may be because Emily is actually in Rome this time.
“I think there’s an outfit in two episodes at the end, which was a vintage Alaïa skirt and a white collared shirt with straight sleeves and a little scarf,” Collins, 35, tells PEOPLE.
“It felt like a real departure for Emily, with more Italians, more festive vibes and more practical running around with flats,” she adds. “I felt cinematic.”
