Lily Collins took inspiration from the past fashion trends to mark the next season of her famous Netflix series ‘Emily in Paris’ and at the same time, she also channeled the iconic fashion sense of Carrie Bradshaw while being on the Good Morning America show. The beautiful actress shared pictures from the set where she was sporting a purple Fendi Baguette bag and a chic bob hairstyle, which instantly intrigued and satisfied her followers who recognized the ‘Sex and the City’ homage.

It was a full fashion circle that compelled the internet to do a double take. The modern-day fashionista, actress Lily Collins, shared a set of pictures from her GMA visit and posted a caption that hinted at the iconic accessory, “Not a bag, it’s a baguette.” The outfit consisting of a sharp black blazer, mini skirt, and the now-famous purple Fendi bag was a direct nod to the scene when Carrie, characterized by Sarah Jessica Parker, was awkwardly stripped off her own Fendi Baguette in the first season of SATC. For the longtime fans who have experienced both of the series, the allusion was not only humor-laden but also a kind of cultural crossover.

The comments section was overwhelmed with people’s joys and the sharps-eyed recognition. Someone quickly made the connection and wrote, “Emily in New York with a Sex and the City twist💜,” cleverly blending Collins’ current character with the legendary New Yorker she was referring to. One of the admirers was less indirect in their praise, noticing, “You look beautiful, and I love Carrie’s reference 😍🤩🙌🏻❤️❤️✨.” The homage was definitely acknowledged as evidenced by numerous comments, for instance, “Love the reference to Carrie 😍” and “I thought I recognized that outfit from SATC! How cool.”

Nevertheless, not every comment was straightforward admiration. The post received some… let’s say very strong opinionated comparisons as well. One user was blunt and remarked, “you got nothing on SJP. She is a legend…” which, okay, that’s a valid argument—Parker’s status is indisputable—but still, it shows the charm of this look that it can even provoke such comparisons. It was a bold reference and Collins had the self-assurance to carry it off.

On top of the Carrie connection, people were really praising the actress’s fresh look. One person commented, “That bag and that bob😍😍,” underlining the successful double-style enhancement. The audience of different languages was also involved with the Portuguese comment saying, “Fendi for the few and the good 💛,” thus adding a different dimension to luxury appreciation. Another admirer simply said in Portuguese, “You are a beautiful little baguette,” which is quite a mood.

The timing could not have been better, it was like a cherry on the cake for the upcoming season of ‘Emily in Paris’. One viewer even admitted that they were “Rewatching the show because I have the memory of a goldfish,” thus showing the effectiveness of the promo cycle. Collins, as always, was very professional and made the audience curious about her series while also presenting a fashion moment that attracted people. It was a wise and captivating visually stunning cross-generational style synergy. In the world of celebrity marketing, it is sometimes best to draw a parallel to what was good before to tease what is coming. Her style is often complemented by exquisite accessories, as seen in a recent festive studio session. Fans also appreciate her heartfelt tributes to her colleagues when a project wraps. In a recent interview, she revealed her ultimate dream meeting with Victoria Beckham. Beyond work, she celebrates holidays like Thanksgiving with her growing family. Her public appearances, including a recent Elle Spain cover shoot, continue to generate significant attention.
