Lily Collins on her favorite ‘Emily in Paris’ Season 4 outfits — and the designer she wants to wear on Season 5

Netflix’s “Emily in Paris” is a fashion feast — and for star Lily Collins, two particular looks from Season 4 rose to the top.

“The black-and-white ball gown by Harris Reed was my most epic favorite look,” the actress told Page Six Style exclusively at the Paley Center for Media earlier this week.

Inspired by both a striped design worn by Babe Paley’s daughter Amanda at Truman Capote’s 1966 Black and White Ball and Audrey Hepburn in “My Fair Lady,” the over-the-top ensemble pops up in the season’s third episode, “Masquerade.”

Collins also pointed to an outfit she wore in Rome in the last episode of Season 4 (which dropped on Sept. 12) as a personal favorite.

“I wear a collared shirt and a vintage Alaia skirt with flats, and I felt very ‘Italian vacation mode Emily.'”

The show’s costume designer, Marylin Fitoussi, previously told Page Six Style that she and her team work hard to pull the best possible pieces for Collins and her co-stars.

“It’s always challenging to reinvent,” Fitoussi shared last year. “I’m looking at many, many shows and meeting a lot of young designers.”

And Audrey Hepburn, a longtime muse for both Fitoussi and Collins, influenced more than just the masquerade look this season.

Collins, 35, recently posted behind-the-scenes Instagram photos from the set of the sixth episode, where her character hits the slopes in a faux fur look straight out of 1963’s “Charade” — a “definite pinch-me moment,” as the actress put it in her caption.

“This show really allows us to pay tribute to wonderful icons throughout the years, and Audrey specifically this season,” Collins told us.

“I grew up loving her films, her work with Unicef and her overall being, so it’s nice to have those moments.”

The actress took part in a PaleyLive event on Sept. 17.
She was joined by other cast members, including Ashley Park.

As for her fashion hopes and dreams for Season 5, which Netflix recently confirmed is in the works?

“I would love to wear a little Victoria Beckham. I think that would be fun,” Collins shared. “I feel like it’s very chic. Emily is embracing black more, and that tailored aesthetic, and I feel like that would be lovely.”

Collins participated in the PaleyLive program “Emily in Paris: The Magic Behind the Scenes” alongside castmates Philippine Leroy-Beaulieu, Ashley Park, Lucas Bravo, Bruno Gouery, Samuel Arnold and Lucien Laviscount.
