The first part of Season 4 of “Emily in Paris” has finally arrived on Netflix after a year and a half long wait. To celebrate this long-awaited debut, the cast was dressed in their best at the premiere, which took place in Los Angeles on Wednesday, August 14.

Lily Collins' on-screen character is nothing short of eccentric (and sometimes controversial) in terms of her unique and personal style. Collins, who represented Emily in two controversial red carpet fashions, peplum and sheer, seems to have been inspired by it all.

For the occasion, Collins chose a sophisticated, custom-made black Armani Privé gown. The strapless gown, which featured celebrity stylist Andrew Mukamal, featured a sequined bodice and an embroidered peplum at the waist (more on this detail later). Underneath the ruffled tiers was a floor grazing checked sequin skirt that was semi-transparent upon closer inspection.

The Emily in Paris star completed her outfit with pointed black pumps and diamond-studded earrings. Collins' red carpet look was, to say the least, very chic indeed.

Collins' double-duty wasn't just a nod to Emily Cooper. The celebrity endorsed two major fashion trends: the peplum and the near-naked getup.

Nakedness has been raging at the forefront of celebrity style for the past few years. Whether on the red carpet or in everyday street style, A-listers are literally practicing “less is more” with lace-on-lace layers and lingerie.

While the sheer look has been common among stars lately (most recently Halle Berry and Priyanka Chopra), the peplum trend is one that is still bubbling up on the style radar. Peplums were once a staple of the 2010s. However, after several years, the peplum is back. Brandon Maxwell, Stella McCartney, and Proenza Schouler have reappeared on the Fall/Winter 2023 runways with dresses and tops with ruffles at the waist. And now celebrities like Emma Stone, Selena Gomez, and Lily Collins are pushing for a full peplum revival. Fashion is cyclical!

Love it or hate it, the return of the peplum is inevitable. But fear not, it no longer comes with its once cringe-worthy cues from a decade ago. Lily Collins has given the peplum the ultimate (and deserved) Parisienne signature...
