Lily Collins Just Chopped Her Italian Bob Into an Ultra-Short French Bob for Emily in Paris Season 5

Lily Collins seems to be matching her bob to the country she’s filming in–a move that could be a new take on method dressing? Let’s just say the hair drama around Emily in Paris season 5 has begun, and we’ve already fallen down a rabbit hole.

In every season of Emily in Paris, Collin’s character, PR girl Emily Cooper, has gamely served up memorable hair moments courtesy of the show’s award-winning hairstylist Mike Desir. He has, in fact, created no fewer than 54 different hairstyles on Emily alone, he tells Glamour UK, since the hit Netflix series launched in 2020.

There were the perfect S-shape waves in season 1 that sparked lively WhatsApp chats with my friends about what size barrel she used to tong her hair.

Season 2 was all about experimenting with different styles—from an Audrey Hepburn-inspired bouffant and low ponytail to a twisted braid up-do. In the opening episode of season 3, we saw Emily chop her own hair into blunt bangs when having an emotional moment. Cue an evolution of different hairstyles (18 to be exact, Desir says) to disguise what the show described as “trauma bangs.”

In season 4, she delivered a masterclass in how to style long curtain bangs to avoid that awkward growing-out phase. So, what does Emily Cooper have in store for us in season 5?

On May 7, an image of Emily sitting on a Vespa was posted on the official Emily In Paris Instagram account with the caption “Lights, Camera, Amore – Emily in Paris Season 5 is now in production!”

Fittingly, she is sporting a sleek, mid-length Italian bob in homage to the Rome setting, again styled by Desir who refreshed her hair every month to keep her hair the same length for filming. The Italian bob typically combines a high-shine finish with full-bodied lengths curled neatly under at the ends. Think soft glamour with plenty of swing throughout this neck-grazing style.
