Lily Collins has officially arrived in Rome as production kicks off for the next season of Emily in Paris. The actress gave fans a sneak peek at Emily Cooper’s fresh new look, revealing what appears to be her shortest hairstyle yet — a sleek, chin-grazing bob.
Known for dramatic hair changes, the character of Emily has experimented with bold styles before. Fans may remember the infamous “trauma bangs,” a DIY cut born from stress. Now, it seems Emily is entering a new phase — and her haircut is turning heads once again.
The new look closely mirrors the hairstyle Collins first debuted on the red carpet in June. In a photo shared to Instagram, she is seen seated stylishly on a Vespa scooter under the Roman sun, wearing the sharp bob with a polished, straight finish. The cut is paired with a soft smokey eye, giving her a blend of French-girl chic and Italian flair.
While the reason behind the character’s transformation is still unknown, fans are already speculating. Could it be part of a romantic twist, or is Emily simply embracing a new chapter abroad? Either way, the shorter style seems to suit both the actress and the role.
Reactions online have been enthusiastic. One fan commented, “Looking gorgeous! Love the hair,” while another added, “Short hair suits Lily so much!” The bob is especially flattering on Collins’ heart-shaped face, adding to the buzz surrounding the look.
Though the show begins filming in Rome, viewers can rest assured that Emily will return to her Parisian roots later in the season. For now, though, it’s clear that Lily’s new hairstyle is already setting trends — and possibly inspiring a few upcoming salon appointments.
