Lily Collins Endorses Capris and Naked Flats in an Anti-Emily in Paris Summer Look

The longer Lily Collins plays Emily Cooper, the wider the gap between their style identities becomes.

Unlike the effervescent Emily in Paris protagonist, Collins tends to gravitate toward rock-inspired accents or classic staples in cozy textures. While Emily would never pair a massive Balenciaga City bag with brown suede sneakers, Collins had no such qualms while traveling across Europe last summer. Nearly a year later, she stepped even further outside Emily’s comfort zone while filming the Netflix series in Mykonos.

Late last month, Collins was photographed in Greece wearing one of summer’s this hottest trends: capri pants. And while we could easily see Emily Cooper embracing the style tomato red or a pair of polka dot leggings à la Hailey Bieber, she wouldn’t be caught dead pairing black capris with an oversized leather jacket and slouchy crossbody. The same can’t be said for Collins, who wore the effortlessly cool combination during a lunch break with costars Ashley Park and Lucien Laviscount.

The most Emily Cooper-coded aspect of the look, of course, were the actor’s ballet flats, though we think the social media expert would opt for a more colorful, textured, or structured option. Instead, Collins embraced yet another current summer trend—the barefoot shoe—in a pair of Margaux’s soft, glove-like Phoebe Flats in bone white Nappa leather.

Lily Collins, Ashley Park, and Lucien Laviscount head for lunch during a break in filming season 6 of the hit Netflix series ‘Emily in Paris’ on the island of Mykonos on May 26, 2026.

The exact pair, which retail for $375 on Nordstrom.com, are available in a variety of colors and materials on Margaux’s website for $370. Another highlight of this New York-based brand is it’s inclusive size range, which are available in narrow, medium, and wide fits. If that’s outside of your price range, Collins still proves there are more ways to style capri pants beyond the ever-popular thong sandal. In fact, there’s a way to combine these two hot summer trends whether you’re more of an Emily or a Lily.
