Collins’ Versace dress featured a thigh-high slit, creating an asymmetric contrast to the otherwise softer lines. She paired it with sheer black tights and pointed black heels. As for accessories, Collins favored dainty pieces, including a few rings and stud earrings.
For her glam, Collins chose a clean makeup look with bold eyes, defined brows and a soft pink lip. Her playful bob had a wet look, styled to the side to frame her face. The look was curated by stylist Andrew Mukamal, who has also worked with Margot Robbie, Carey Mulligan and Zo? Kravitz, among others.
Throughout her promotional tour for the fourth season of “Emily in Paris,” Collins favored contemporary twists on the little black dress.
During an appearance on “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon,” she wore another Versace LBD with asymmetric elements. The actress wore a slim-fitting black midi dress featuring a single long sleeve and an off-balance neckline with a shoulder cutout from Versace’s resort 2025 collection.
For the SAG-AFTRA conversation for “Emily in Paris” last September, Collins showcased yet another version of the LBD. She wore a little black dress with an off-the-shoulder silhouette by Alessandra Rich. The minidress featured velvet elements on the skirt and bodice, a ruched tulle detail and a central bow at the neckline. Collins’ collaborations with Mukamal highlight a range of little black dresses, demonstrating their versatility and proving the style will always be a fashion staple.
