table Lily included and we look back at all the looks we have created This allows us to deliberate on how we could make her character evolve but still look very true to her In season two of Emily in Paris Lily donned nine different hairstyles and several variations We had to ensure that the hair complimented each look perfectly without looking too over the top We discussed the bangs in reference to French icons like Jane Birkin and it seemed to be a good fit The current season season three had Lilyrsquos character donning over 18 different hairstyles We have to constantly up the ante with every look Much like her wardrobe we have to portray how her style has also evolved a lotThere is definitely a change in her style you can almost see how her style would have evolved living in Paris with the exposure to the people the culture and her lifestyle We focused on big voluminous hair unusual colour and a lot of hats in previous seasons It lends credence to the notion that she is still discovering herself Season three was when we wanted to put our own spin on references from the 1950s and 1960s The clothes are closer to the body with beautiful silhouettes and the shoes are more basic In the series we find relevant pieces of couture clothing for big events and ensure that all the elements make senseDescribe the role her hair plays in bringing out her personaThe most noticeable change in season three is the addition of bangs which marks the beginning of her hair transformation The goal here is to depict the changes that can occur when there is a change in a relationship work life or internal evolution and how you can translate them through her appearance We enjoy experimenting with different looks whether its a haircut a colour change or bangs the goal is to keep the character interesting and relatable There has been an evolution over the episodes with softer waves in the day with definition and textureEmily comes across as a character with diverse moods How do you play with her hair to establish her bold self her shyness or her confused statePersonally I believe that a hairstyle is similar to an accessory depending on the event the characters state of mind or the intensity of a scene we can determine whether we want to go for a strong look or keep it natural and soft We understand the wardrobe and scene and base our hairstyle decisions on that Emily always wears her signature loose wavy hairstyle to work and her more sophisticated hairstyles are used in scenes depicting the latter half of the day I usually leave a few strands of hair

together without much effort for a classic night out on the townShare a few DIY steps to achieve Emilys hairstyles from season 3Ill go over the 60s high ponytail look I created for Lily for an important dinner She wore a Iris Apfel couture top with a Giuseppe Di Morabito dress inside which was very 60s I had to free up Emilys beautiful neck with a long wavy ponytail and give her a little volume on top of her head to complete the look I left her fringe loose to add some freshness to the hairstyle along with a couple of loose strands of hair to strike a balance with the provincial atmosphere of the South of FranceTo achieve this look I first consider where my ponytail will sit because it is a high ponytail I will divide the hair into two halves I would crimp the top half with a wide tooth comb and then join it to the ponytail by closing it with a second elastic I then use ponytail hair sections to create waves with a medium iron to add volume To achieve that voluminous gourmand effect Ill also use a texturizing spray For a 60s touch I finish the look with a satin ribbonRead More Herersquos how men can wear Pantone Colour of the Year 2023 Viva Magenta
