Lily Collins looks effortlessly stylish in a red paisley print co-ord as she films Emily In Paris series five in Italy
The actress, 36, transformed into her effortlessly chic character to shoot scenes alongside her co-star Ashley Park on the terrace of luxury hotel St Regis.
Lily looked glamorous as she slipped into a red and white paisley print co-ord that she wore over a white sequin bandeau top.
Ashley looked equally as stunning as her co-star while filming scenes for the hotly-anticipated series return.
Both actresses chatted to each other during the scene, sat by a table that was adorned with flowers and coffee cups.
Lily, who stars as main character Emily, has been filming in Venice for the episodes as the series will follow her journey to Rome.
Emily was left with a decision at the end of series four, as she was offered the position of the lead of the Italian Agence Grateau office.
Despite falling in love with Paris and the agency, Emily admitted she was tempted by a new life - with a new man - in Rome.
Fans will remember Emily and Gabriel's (Lucas Bravo) romance fell apart after they finally tried to make a go of their relationship after he broke off his relationship with Camille.
Following a fake pregnancy scandal, Camille revealed she wasn't actually expecting and Emily and Gabriel tried to work out a romantic future.
However, it wasn't meant to be for the star-crossed lovers who were unable to work out their differences and she was pushed into the arms of Marcello, after they met on the slopes of Megève, when she was abandoned at the top of a slope by Gabriel.
They crossed paths again at a polo match in Paris and they enjoyed a night out together in the city, which lasted until the following morning when he asked her to come and visit him in Rome.
Emily followed her heart and travelled to meet Marcello, where she was also tasked with acquiring his family's business by her boss Sylvie. However, Emily was reluctant to mix business with pleasure.
The pair hit a stumbling block when he learned of her plans to try and secure a professional relationship with his family, who owned a luxury cashmere company, but they eventually managed to iron their issues out.
At this point, Gabriel had a candid conversation with Alfie (Lucien Laviscount), who urged him to try and win Emily back, despite previously being romantically involved with her himself.
But despite dashing to Rome with the hope of reuniting, Emily was nowhere to be seen as she enjoyed her romantic day out with Marcello.
The series is expected to air towards the end of this year, but one of the main characters has revealed they won't be returning.
Camille Razat, 31, who plays Camille in the romantic comedy-drama - took to Instagram to reveal the shocking news with an emotional goodbye post after fans fumed at bosses for 'destroying the character'.
Camille has played Emily's pal and love rival in the show since the programme hit the streaming service back in 2020.
Now, after five years on our screens as Camille, the actress is ready to move on.
Emily In Paris premiered on Netflix in October 2020.
The synopsis on the streaming service reads: 'New passions. New fashions. New Emily?
'A plucky American marketing whiz spreads her wings in life and love after landing her dream job in Paris.'
The show, created by Star, has had 40 episodes run over four seasons.
It stars the likes of Lily, Philippine, Ashley Park, Lucas, Samuel Arnold, Bruno Gouery, William Abadie and Lucien.

Look up: five hopeful novels about the climate crisis
'Can literature be a tool to encourage something better – creating eco-topia on the page, so it might be imagined off it?' asks the novelist Sarah Hall in this weekend's Guardian magazine. Climate fiction – or 'cli-fi' – continues to grow as a genre in its own right; the first Climate fiction prize was awarded this year. And while the roots of environmental fiction are in apocalypse and despair, these five writers are moving beyond dystopia to hopeful possibilities. Powers was awarded the 2019 Pulitzer for this love letter to the arboreal world. Mimicking the interlinked canopy and undergrowth of the forest, he weaves the stories of nine core characters whose lives are deeply connected to trees. Olivia and Nick, for example, set up camp in a giant redwood for a year to prevent it from being cut down. They connect with other characters over their environmental activism, with one tragic consequence. But ultimately the novel is a homage to the resilience of humans and trees. In Ghosh's globetrotting novel inspired by Bengali legends, environmental destruction surfaces again and again: climate change-induced migration, wildfires, beached dolphins. This is no dystopia, but climate realism. Yet the novel feels fundamentally hopeful, with Ghosh nodding to cross-cultural cooperation as a means of facing climate destruction. Two female characters, marine biologist Piya and historian Cinta, also fortify us. 'I don't think my book is climate fiction at all,' said Ghosh in a 2019 interview. 'It's actually a reality that in hard circumstances humans often discover joy and faith.' Originally published in 1993, Parable of the Sower is set between 2024 and 2027 in a California bordering on anarchy, marked by economic breakdown and climate change. The narrator, Lauren Olamina, suffers from hyperempathy syndrome, meaning she feels the pain of others acutely. She creates a new religion, Earthseed, which posits that humans have the power to 'shape God' and enact change. Verses from Earthseed's book of scripture are scattered throughout the novel: 'Belief initiates and guides action – or it does nothing.' Escaping an unhappy marriage on a failing Appalachian farm, Dellarobia is en route to meet her would-be lover when she is stopped in her tracks by a sea of orange monarch butterflies, set off their migratory course by climate change. Dellarobia's discovery draws an entomologist to the area, and with his help she undergoes a metamorphosis of her own. This slim novel, published in 2021, is set on a utopian moon, Panga, following a destructive 'Factory Age'. Humanity has since deindustrialised, transitioning to agrarian, sustainable living. Our protagonist, non-binary tea monk Dex, travels between Panga's villages in their wagon, offering personalised brews and a listening ear to troubled residents. But soon, Dex craves quiet, and journeys into the wilderness, where they strike up a friendship with a robot, Splendid Speckled Mosscap, who is looking to answer the question: 'What do humans need?' This cosy novella slots into the 'hopepunk' subgenre of speculative fiction for its optimistic exploration of life's meaning and humanity's relationship to nature and technology.

Gavin and Stacey's Larry Lamb says he's not averse to penning poems
Gavin and Stacey star Larry Lamb is having the rhyme of his life after taking up poetry following a gap of several actor, who has also written a novel and autobiography, started scribbling stanzas in 1983, but after a poet friend encouraged him he decided to put pen to paper who also said he is 1% Welsh, said he loves the process of writing as he gets to be in charge. "I started writing poetry in the 80s, it just came right out of the blue. A whole string of poems about my life and the way I saw things," the 77-year-old said. He said that in 2020 he found a file of them in the attic and showed them to a poet friend. "And he was really impressed and said, 'We have got to do something with these'. "So cut to quite recently and I started to write poems again. A lot of them about the same period in my life." On 27 September he will be reading his work for the first time, along with some of his favourite poems from his childhood, at Hereford Military History Festival."So I'm going to be close to Wales," he said he surprised himself when he started writing in 1983."But now I have got a lot more experience, a lot more time in life," he told Lucy Owen on BBC Radio Wales. "It's just a fascinating procedure making poetry out of life and comparing the way I write things now to the way I wrote them in 1983. "I'm absolutely loving it. Hopefully I'll be following up the book tour with a tour all over the place telling stories with poetry."He will be promoting his novel All Wrapped Up with a number of UK dates from September to December - visiting Barry on December said he would go to Barry beach - the scene of many memorable Gavin & Stacey scenes - for a swim. Asked if he would be wearing a wetsuit in the winter water, he said: "My birthday suit. I'll hand out masks so people can just shut down on the visuals."

Little Trouble Girls review – monstrous choirmaster spikes a sublime Catholic coming-of-age tale
This elegant and mysterious debut from Slovenian director Urška Djukić, with its superb musical score and sound design, reinvents the cliched idea of a Catholic girl's sexual awakening. It's also proof, if proof were needed, that no teacher in the world can be as cruel and abusive as a music teacher. We have already seen JK Simmons' terrifying jazz instructor in Damien Chazelle's Whiplash and Isabelle Huppert's keyboard monster in Michael Haneke's The Piano Teacher; now there is Slovenian actor and musician Saša Tabaković playing a demanding, yet insidious choirmaster in charge of a group of talented, vulnerable teenage girls. The film incidentally has a lesson for any teenage person watching: if a music teacher asks you to sit next to them on the piano stool with no one else in the room and murmurs 'You can confide in me' … you can't. The English title is taken from Sonic Youth's Little Trouble Girl, but otherwise this is strictly a matter of holy music. (The Slovenian original is Kaj Ti Je Deklica, which means 'what's wrong with you girl?'). Lucija (played by newcomer Jara Sofija Ostan) is a shy 16-year-old who is a member of her Catholic school's female choir; with her sexy, worldly, mercurial best friend Ana-Marija (Mina Švajger) she joins the choir's special trip across the Italian border for a week in Cividale del Friuli near Trieste; they rehearse in a nunnery, a lovely building with a courtyard featuring an olive tree, which is to assume a poetic quality as Lucija gazes at it during sleepless nights. To the intense irritation of the choirmaster, building work is going on, the noise from which disrupts his rehearsals, and darkens and complicates his mood. The girls look dreamily at the semi-clothed men doing the work, whom they also spy on as they go swimming, and there are many games of spin-the-bottle and truth-or-dare after lights out. The choral sequences of the film are wonderful, and the simple business of rehearsing, of taking music to pieces and putting it back together, is gripping. Tabaković's choirmaster is brilliant and demanding, with a born musician's natural severity but, as we are to see, something darker. The film's sound design is stunning in the sequences when we hear the girls' breathing exercises which themselves become a kind of eerie choral setpiece that mimics unconscious sexual excitement. Lucija and Ana-Marija boldly ask a kindly nun, Sister Magda (Saša Pavček) what it is like to do without physical pleasures and she tries honestly to answer that there is fulfilment in sublimating them into devotion to Christ. Is that what is happening with their music? Is that what the film is showing us: that their sexual development is being systematically suppressed, dammed, re-routed into religious music? Or could it be that sexuality is merely the inauthentic, immature version of music? Then there is the fateful, intimate encounter between the choirmaster and Lucija; he asks her to confide what troubles her, and Lucija rashly gives her an answer that deeply displeases and disappoints him, with awful results. It is then superseded by a kind of epiphany coda, enigmatically taking us forward to the next stage in Lucija's life. This is an utterly absorbing and outstandingly acted film. Little Trouble Girls screened at the Edinburgh film festival.
