Lily Collins is turning heads with a bold new look as Emily in Paris kicks off production for its fifth season.On May 7, Collins shared a behind-the-scenes selfie on Instagram, confirming that filming is underway for the next installment of the popular Netflix series. In the photo, the 36-year-old actress poses on a Vespa, dressed in one of Emily’s signature eye-catching outfits, while showing off a dramatic new hairstyle—a short, sleek bob.
This marks the first time fans are seeing Collins in character with her updated haircut, which she debuted between the end of Season 4 and the start of filming for Season 5. Fans quickly filled the comments with excitement, praising the transformation. “SHORT HAIR EMILY IS A SLAY,” one user wrote, while another added, “Yessssss I love you in this bob!!”
Collins captioned the post, “Lights, Camera, Amore – Emily in Paris Season 5 is now in production!” The use of the word “Amore” and the Vespa setting have led many fans to believe the new season is being filmed in Rome. The speculation aligns with Season 4’s ending, which teased a romance between Emily and Italian character Marcello, played by Eugenio Franceschini.
“Emily with short hair + Rome = I love it!!” one fan commented, while another added, “There’s no place like ROME!! So excited for szn 5.”With production now underway and Emily’s fresh style already generating buzz, fans are eagerly awaiting what Season 5 has in store.
