As a faux Francophile, one of my favorite indulgences—aside from pastries and designer fashion, of course—is the Netflix series Emily in Paris. The fifth season just began streaming, and it's already given me so much colorful outfit inspiration to carry into 2026 and beyond.
There are tons of fun fashion moments in each episode; it's hard to pick just one to replicate. So, I've narrowed it down to a few stellar pieces that are guaranteed to add a little je ne sais quoi to any wardrobe, especially as we head into the darkest days of winter. Even Sylvie Grateau would approve.
From Emily's tres chic power blazers and wild rompers to Mindy's party-ready ensembles, I've found standout styles to shop for and wear ASAP. Keep scrolling to check out inspo straight from season 5 of Emily in Paris that you're about to see everywhere.
1. Red Blazer + Colorful Top
Marilyn Fitoussi, the show’s costume designer, signaled that red is the color of power for season 5. Whether it's a cropped version or an oversized silhouette, a vibrant crimson blazer is the It item for your 2026 work wardrobe.
Dramatic lapels are very French.
2. Geometric Jumpsuit
This is practically made for Emily.
If you’re looking for a "more is more" moment, look no further than the printed jumpsuits and catsuits making a cameo this season. It's the ultimate base layer for a high-fashion winter.
3. Equestrian Blazer + Leggings
Tailoring is reaching a fever pitch this season. Look for structured, heritage-inspired blazers with velvet collars and brass buttons. It’s giving "weekend in Normandy" in the most polished way possible.
A great price for a classic wardrobe piece.
4. Green Blazer + White Shirt
Pattern clashing is back, and Emily’s green-and-white striped jacket is leading the charge. Pair it with complementary prints to nail that maximalist Parisian charm.
Coordinating trousers not required.
5. Blue Fringe Mini Dress + Platform Heels
This high-shine piece is the ultimate party showstopper, blending delicate movement with tough metallic hardware. It captures that quintessential Mindy Chen energy: daring, decadent, and destined for the dance floor.
This icy blue hue is fresh for New Years Eve.
6. Yellow Bubble Hem Dress
The bubble hem is officially making its high-fashion comeback. This sunny, voluminous silhouette is exactly what we need to inject some joy into our social calendars.
This sweet dress pairs perfectly with a pass on the Eurorail Pss.
7. Head-to-Toe Red
No Emily in Paris list is complete without gravity-defying footwear. Mindy's red platforms are the perfect companion to the season's miniskirts, adding height and a pop of primary color.
Perfect for when you want to channel the lady-in-red emoji.
