Emily in Paris fans have been left 'embarrassed' after flitting around the French capital in colourful ensembles and berets inspired by Lily Collins' wardrobe in the hit show.
Season four of the popular Netflix series lands tomorrow, following Chicago-born marketing guru, Emily Cooper, who's juggling her demanding job with a complicated romantic life in the 'City of Love'.
Over the past three seasons, Emily's outfits have well and truly taken centre stage, as she strolls around in preppy contrasting prints and neon colours with a baguette under her arm.
But her most offensive accessory is a beret.
Hoards of tourists arrive in Paris thinking they're dressed to impress like Emily, but end up regretting their decision to don the hat when they realise that no actual Parisians wear them.

Fashion enthusiast Verenita, from Indonesia, was shocked to find that nobody was wearing berets
Fashion enthusiast Verenita, from Indonesia, made a TikTok showing the cringe moment she arrived in the city and realised she was the only one dressed in this way.
She wrote: 'When I thought all Parisians dressed like Emily in Paris, so I wore this,' followed by the clown emoji.
It then showed her in an all-white ensemble, with a dress, jacket and bag topped with a cream beret.
She then said: 'Turns out only tourists and older men wear berets. Definitely embarrassed myself.'
The clip racked up more than one million views, with one commenter stating: 'This is exactly what Emily In Paris is trying to show us. That her style is an American style and she gets bullied for it.'
Another wrote: 'I wore exactly the same outfit in Paris and I know the feeling,' while a third said: 'We are all guilty of this.'
Another clip shows Lechi, from Vietnam, modelling her take on Emily's ensembles, which features a hot pink bodysuit and a monochrome houndstooth oversized blazer and shorts, followed by a rose fur coat and a black beret.
