Costume designer Patricia Field has finally spilt the beans about her motivation behind the statement style quotient for the characters in the show Emily in Paris. In an interaction with Town & Country, Field broke down the iconic looks, style statements and quirky accessories that viewers got to see in the series. Here’s how the designer described the looks donned by the characters:

Lily Collins looks

Audrey Hepburn style:

Patricia Fields revealed that she spoke to the makers about paying homage to Audrey Hepburn by inculcating her style for the lead character of the film. According to the costume designer, when one looks at Lily aka Emily, they will always see Audrey. When Lily’s character went to the ballet, Patricia got an apt opportunity to fulfil her wish. Although initially, she was worried about receiving backlash for copying Audreys's style statement but she couldn’t resist herself from doing it.
