By now you know the feeling. You are watching Emily in Paris, half-paying attention to the storyline, entirely paying attention to the outfit — and somewhere between the third beret and the second impossible Parisian rooftop, you have already started planning your trip.
You are not alone. Set-jetting — travelling to places you have seen on screen — is one of the most exciting travel trends of 2026, and Emily in Paris is at the very centre of it. The show doesn’t just make Paris look beautiful. It makes Paris look like a place where every day is an occasion to get dressed.
The challenge is that Emily notoriously spends an estimated $73,000 more than what she makes in a year on her wardrobe. The good news is that her style can be re-created, even without a designer budget.
This is your complete set-jetting style guide: every major Emily in Paris filming location, exactly what to wear when you get there, and how to shop the look for a fraction of the price. Paris, Rome, and — with Season 6 confirmed for Greece — what’s coming next.
The Emily in Paris Style Philosophy: What Makes It Work (and How to Make It Wearable)
Emily Cooper’s style is many things: bold, maximalist, occasionally bewildering, and entirely committed. Firmly against the idea of capsule wardrobes and quiet luxury, Emily’s bold ethos is actually a burgeoning trend in 2026, where maximalism is the new baseline.
But here’s what the show actually teaches about dressing well as a traveller, beneath all the berets and colour-blocking:
Every outfit is location-aware. Emily never looks wrong for where she is — not because her clothes are conservative, but because they are intentional. She is dressed for Paris, for Rome, for the specific corner of the world she occupies in that scene.
Accessories do the heavy lifting. A beret, a silk scarf, a great bag, a pair of bold earrings — these are what make an Emily outfit recognisable. The clothes underneath are often simpler than they appear.
Confidence is the actual outfit. The most unwearable Emily look — the one that would look absurd on anyone else — works because of how completely she commits to it. The lesson for real travel dressing: whatever you wear, wear it like you meant it.
With that philosophy in mind, here is how to dress at every major Emily in Paris location.
PARIS FILMING LOCATIONS: Where to Go and What to Wear
1. Place de l’Estrapade — Emily’s Apartment and the Heart of the Show
The improbably perfect Parisian life of Emily is centered around Place de l’Estrapade in the Latin Quarter. The Rue de Fossés Saint-Jacques, which runs through the square, is home to Emily’s apartment and her bakery-of-choice La Boulangerie Moderne.
This is the pilgrimage stop for every Emily in Paris fan. The square is charming, photogenic, and entirely real — a proper Parisian neighbourhood rather than a tourist hotspot, which makes it feel all the more special to visit.
What to wear:
The Emily in Paris opening credits outfit — the one that defines the show’s aesthetic — is a bold, layered, maximalist look. But for a real visit to Place de l’Estrapade, the more wearable interpretation is:
The look: A breton stripe top + high-waist straight-leg jeans + a brightly coloured blazer in red, cobalt, or mustard + ballet flats or loafers + a structured top-handle bag + red lips
Why it works: The breton stripe is the most Parisian piece of clothing that exists. The bold blazer gives you the Emily colour-pop without the full maximalist commitment. Red lips cost nothing extra and make any outfit look like a statement.
The Emily upgrade: If you want to go full Emily at this location — the one photograph — add a beret. Yes, a beret. At Place de l’Estrapade, you have earned it.
2. Jardin du Palais Royal — Where Emily and Mindy First Meet
The Jardin du Palais Royal is where Emily and Mindy first meet — one of the most elegant gardens in Paris, tucked behind the Louvre and surrounded by arcaded galleries housing some of the city’s most beautiful small boutiques.
What to wear:
The Palais Royal gardens are polished, serene, and frequented by a genuinely well-dressed Parisian crowd. This is the location that calls for slightly more refinement than the Latin Quarter apartment square.
The look: A midi skirt in a soft floral or solid colour + a fitted white shirt (collar slightly open) + ballet flats or kitten mules + a silk scarf tied loosely at the neck + a small structured leather bag
Why it works: The Emily in Paris aesthetic at garden locations leans into femininity and a certain lightness. A floral midi skirt with a white shirt is the most photographically beautiful outfit you can wear against the Palais Royal’s formal French gardens.
The Emily upgrade: A bold, oversized hair accessory — a satin headband, a printed scrunchie, or a silk scarf tied as a bow. Emily’s hair accessories are one of the most affordable and recognisable elements of her style.
3. Galeries Lafayette — The Shopping Scene
Within the series, Emily is taken on a shopping spree to the Galeries Lafayette — an upmarket French shopping centre considered to be the biggest department store in the whole of Europe, located on Boulevard Haussmann in the 9th arrondissement.
Even without the fictional shopping spree, Galeries Lafayette is worth visiting for its extraordinary Art Nouveau glass dome alone — one of the most beautiful interiors in Paris.
What to wear:
Shopping in Galeries Lafayette is a style occasion in itself. The Parisian crowd here is fashion-conscious and the setting is spectacular enough to deserve an outfit.
The look: Wide-leg tailored trousers in a bold colour (Emily would choose red or cobalt) + a fitted knit or silk camisole tucked in + heeled loafers or block-heel mules + a structured top-handle bag + statement earrings
Why it works: This is the shopping district look — polished enough for the grand department store setting, comfortable enough for hours of browsing across multiple floors, and bold enough to feel like an Emily moment.
The Emily upgrade: A printed or embellished beret. Galeries Lafayette sells them. You will not be the only person wearing one.
4. Palais Garnier (The Paris Opera House) — The Glamour Scene
The series draws to an end at a fashion show at the Palace of Versailles, but the Palais Garnier — Paris’s extraordinary Second Empire opera house — is one of the most important Emily in Paris filming locations and one of the most spectacular buildings you will ever visit.
What to wear:
The Palais Garnier deserves your most theatrical outfit. This is the one location on this list where going full Emily — the maximalism, the drama, the slightly unhinged commitment — is not only acceptable but actively correct.
The look: A bold midi or maxi dress in a statement colour or print — deep red, cobalt blue, or a vivid floral — + heeled sandals or elegant block heels + a small embellished evening bag + chandelier earrings + a silk scarf or wrap for the cooler interior
Why it works: The Palais Garnier’s gilded, velvet-draped interior swallows understated outfits whole. Be bold here. The building will match you.
The Emily upgrade: A structured top-handle bag in a contrasting colour to your dress. Emily’s bag-and-outfit colour contrasts are one of her most consistently effective styling choices.
5. Montmartre and Sacré-Cœur — The Neighbourhood Emily Explores
Montmartre appears throughout Emily in Paris as the quintessential Parisian neighbourhood — bohemian, artistic, and steep. The steps up to Sacré-Cœur are one of the most photographed approaches in Paris.
What to wear:
Montmartre is casual, artistic, and requires flat shoes absolutely. The Emily interpretation of Montmartre dressing is relaxed maximalism — the colour and the personality without the heels.
The look: High-waist straight-leg jeans + a bold striped or printed top + a longline blazer or colourful coat + white trainers or ballet flats + a crossbody bag + a silk scarf tied in the hair
Why it works: The combination of jeans, a statement top, and a great outer layer is Emily’s most wearable formula — and the one that translates most directly into real travel dressing.
The Emily upgrade: A beret in a colour that contrasts with your coat. Montmartre is the most beret-appropriate neighbourhood in Paris. Commit.
6. Le Marais — The Fashion and Culture District
The Marais is where Paris’s most fashion-conscious locals shop, eat, and be seen. It features throughout Emily in Paris as the backdrop to some of the show’s most stylish scenes.
What to wear:
The Marais rewards personal style above all else. Emily’s Marais outfits tend toward her most creative and most fashion-forward — this is the neighbourhood where the full Emily aesthetic feels most at home.
The look: A printed or embellished midi skirt + a simple fitted top (Emily would add a bold one, but a white tee works too) + loafers or interesting flat shoes + your most interesting bag + layered jewellery + one accessory that is slightly more than you would normally attempt
Why it works: The Marais is the one neighbourhood in Paris where the full Emily approach — the pattern mixing, the bold accessories, the commitment — is worn by locals as naturally as it is by Emily on screen.
ROME FILMING LOCATIONS: Emily in Paris Season 5
In the latest season of Emily in Paris, the fashionista gives viewers a dose of la dolce vita during her Roman holiday, with the Italian city’s cobblestone streets and high fashion boutiques serving as the backdrop.
Emily is really blooming in Rome. She decided to stay not for work, but for love — and her wardrobe reflects it. In Italy, Emily’s wardrobe leans heavily into polka-dot print, taking inspiration from Italian classic cinema.
7. The Spanish Steps and Zuma Terrace
Mingle with the party set over cocktails on the open-air Zuma terrace, which overlooks the iconic Spanish Steps, above the Fendi flagship store.
What to wear:
Rome’s Spanish Steps are one of the great travel fashion locations — sweeping, dramatic, and endlessly photographable. Emily’s Roman aesthetic takes everything that works about her Paris style and amplifies it with Italian cinema references.
The look: A polka-dot midi dress (Emily’s signature Italian print) OR a bold colour-blocked outfit in Italian Riviera tones — cobalt, lemon yellow, deep red — + heeled sandals (Rome’s Spanish Steps are flat; you can manage heels here) + an embellished or structured bag + oversized sunglasses + gold jewellery
Why it works: Emily’s Roman interpretation of Italian style features white blouses and matching trousers with polka dots, paired with AGL shoes and a bold bag. The polka dot is the single most Emily-in-Rome piece you can pack.
The Emily upgrade: A Vespa, ideally. Failing that, a polka-dot silk scarf.
8. Trajan’s Market (Mercati di Traiano) — Ancient Rome Meets Emily’s Wardrobe
The remarkable ruins of Mercati di Traiano — believed to be the ancient city’s first covered shopping mall — feature in Emily’s Roman adventures.
What to wear:
Ancient ruins call for a different approach than the Spanish Steps or the Amalfi Coast scenes. The contrast of a beautiful, fluid dress against ancient Roman stone is one of the most striking travel photographs possible.
The look: A flowing white or cream linen maxi dress + flat gold strappy sandals + a woven bag + gold layered jewellery + oversized sunglasses + a printed silk scarf in the hair
Why it works: White against ancient Roman terracotta stone is extraordinarily beautiful in photographs. The Emily upgrade here is not maximalism but a certain romance — the flowing dress in the ruins is a more cinematic moment than any bold print.
9. Venice — The Season Finale Location
Take a side visit to Venice à la the season finale and book the Grand Canal suite at The St. Regis Venice, set on the Grand Canal.
What to wear:
Venice deserves its own category. The city is so extraordinary, so photogenic, so unlike anywhere else on earth, that dressing for it requires particular care.
The look: A bold printed silk or satin midi dress in deep jewel tones — emerald, burgundy, deep cobalt — OR a classic striped gondolier-reference top with wide-leg trousers + flat shoes only (the bridges are steep and the streets are wet stone) + a small crossbody worn close to the body (Venice is a pickpocket destination) + gold jewellery + a great pair of sunglasses
Why it works: Venice’s extraordinary palette of terracotta, deep green canal water, and golden evening light calls for richer, deeper colours than the whites and creams that work elsewhere. This is the Emily location where jewel tones — her deepest, most cinematic looks — are most at home.
GREECE — What to Expect from Emily in Paris Season 6
Emily in Paris Season 6 starts filming in Greece — making this the most timely travel fashion content you can create right now. The search volume for Greek island travel fashion is already enormous; when the show drops, it will multiply.
Based on the show’s trajectory and Emily’s evolving style, here is what to expect from the Greek chapter — and how to dress for it before the crowds arrive.
The Greek islands Emily will likely visit: Based on the show’s love of photogenic, aspirational Mediterranean locations — Mykonos, Santorini, and possibly Athens are the most likely settings.
What Emily’s Greek wardrobe will probably look like:
- Flowing white and cream linen dresses (the Cycladic aesthetic demands it)
- Bold colour blocking in cobalt, lemon, and terracotta against white-washed architecture
- Flat gold sandals (Greek cobblestones, like Parisian ones, are unforgiving to heels)
- Statement jewellery taking inspiration from ancient Greek gold
- The silk scarf, because Emily’s silk scarf goes everywhere
What to pack for your Greek island set-jetting trip now: Everything in the She Travels Chic Santorini, Amalfi, and Mykonos guide is exactly right. Pack the white linen maxi. Pack the gold sandals. Pack the bold cover-up. You will be dressed for both the destination and the show’s aesthetic simultaneously.
How to Get the Emily in Paris Look for Less
Emily’s style can be re-created even without a designer budget. Maximalism is the new baseline in 2026 — and the high street has caught up completely.
The key Emily pieces, accessible versions:
The bold blazer: Zara, Mango, and ASOS all offer brightly coloured blazers in the Emily aesthetic every season. Look for single-breasted, slightly oversized cuts in red, cobalt, mustard, or emerald.
The printed midi dress: & Other Stories, Faithfull the Brand, and Farm Rio for the quality versions; Zara and H&M have print midi dresses that photograph exactly as well. Look for bold florals, polka dots, and graphic colour-blocking.
The beret: The most affordable Emily piece on this list. A wool or felt beret in a contrasting colour to your outfit costs under €20 at any Paris market and is the single most transformative Emily accessory you can add to any look.
The silk scarf: Any printed square scarf in a silk or silk-look fabric. Tied at the neck, in the hair, or on a bag — this is the detail that makes every Emily-inspired outfit feel intentional.
The statement bag: Emily’s bags are almost always structured top-handle styles in bold or contrasting colours. Zara, Mango, and ASOS do versions that photograph identically to the designer originals.
The red lip: Free if you already own it. The single most effective Emily styling choice in your beauty bag.
The Emily in Paris Packing List: One Bag, Every Location

Final Thoughts
Emily Cooper is not a realistic travel dresser. She packs more than any carry-on allows, spends more than any salary justifies, and wears heels on cobblestones that would hospitalise most people.
But the spirit of Emily in Paris — the idea that every street corner in Paris is worth dressing for, that travel is a reason to be intentional about what you wear, that a great outfit makes a great city feel even more like yours — that is entirely worth borrowing.
Visit the filming locations. Wear the bold blazer. Put on the red lip.
Take the photograph at Place de l’Estrapade. You already know exactly what to wear.
