Controversial opinion: Camille is the unsung style hero of Emily In Paris

We've rounded up her best looks to prove it.

It seems as though everyone we talk to has found themselves caught in a Parisian love affair with Netflix hit series, Emily In Paris.

And, we can’t blame them. In fact, we are them.

Created by Sex And The City‘s Darren Star, the show was bound to be a hit.

It’s the perfect whimsical escape from our lounge rooms and, sadly, as close as most of us will come to travel for a long while.

The city scapes are a delight on the eyes but it’s the fashion we fell for most (second to our new crush Gabriel aka Lucas Bravo).

In what may be a controversial opinion, however, we think it’s gal pal Camille’s (Camilee Razat) style choices that steal the show, rather than our main protagonist Emily’s (Lily Collins).

While Emily opted for bold and daring choices that were often the fashion equivalent of a punch in the face, Camille’s style was playful and chic.

Many of Emily’s ensembles were an inspiration for tonal dressing, with the occasional few that screamed of being dressed by a toddler. And then, there was the parade of those hats…

Much more understated than her American counter-part, Camille’s choices are a reminder of influential French designer Coco Chanel’s most iconic sayings: “”Before you leave the house, look in the mirror and take one thing off.”

Which seems all too fitting.

If we could swap lives with either Camille or Emily, we’d do so in a heartbeat.

If we had to swap wardrobes, on the other hand, we know which character we’d be choosing.

Take a peek at her best fashion moments, below.

See by Chloe

Camille’s most iconic look has to be this See by Chloe plaid dress, perfectly layered with a sheer blouse featuring statement sleeve.

Gold mini

A shimmering gold plunge mini is tough to pull off, but Camille does it with grace and style.

Leather skirt

This 70s leather mini is red hot. And that’s all we have to say on the matter.

Boots

Cowboy boots may have been a solid no for Ted Mosby in How I Met Your Mother, but Camille is pulling them off.

Car

Double denim AND matching your tee to your ride? That’s a yes from us.

Emily Camille

Tailored pieces have become a signature of Camille’s style, but this mod take on a classic look is by far our favourite.

Leather dress

If only a leather mini dress looked so effortlessly chic on us.

One shoulder

Minimalist accessorising is another of the stunning blonde’s key styling traits and her slick girls night ensemble was no exception.

White collar

Possibly one of Camille’s more questionable looks, we wonder if this would have looked better without the cropped jacket. But nonetheless we adore her (and her shoes) anyway.
