The 2026 French Open once again transformed Roland-Garros into both a tennis battleground and a courtside runway. This year, Lily Collins again understood the assignment.
The Emily in Paris actress attended the sporting event alongside her husband, filmmaker Charlie McDowell. The pair was also joined by Collins' co-star Ashley Park, both delivering a masterclass in modern Parisian elegance.
With her sleek French bob, minimalist silhouettes, and unmistakable Audrey Hepburn-esque poise, Collins looked as though she had stepped straight off a magazine cover to cheer on the world's greatest tennis aces.
Here's every look she served during her 2026 French Open run.
Look 1: Mini Dress, Maximum Style
For this tournament outfit, Collins tapped into understated chic. She paired a crisp white cardigan with a simple black dress and unexpected jazz-inspired flats, showcasing that heels are not mandatory for a style win.
The look was undeniably polished yet effortless, elevated by her dramatically shortened French bob styled with a deep side part. Seated beside McDowell in the stands, she was a vision of modernity and refinement.
In her unmistakably Parisian ensemble, Lily Collins is giving her on-screen character, Emily Cooper, a serious run for her money.
Posing hand-in-hand beside his wife, McDowell opted for a refreshing pop of colour in a satin burgundy Nike jacket over a soft grey tee and navy trousers. A matching cap and white sneakers kept the vibe relaxed and polished.
Look 2: Leathering Heights
Clad in leather, Collins broke traditional tennis spectator norms entirely. Instead of the expected sundress-and-pumps formula, she layered a black leather jacket over a burnt orange knit top and tailored black capri trousers. The look was topped off with minimalist flip-flop heels and sleek sunglasses.
The energy she delivered was effortlessly cool rather than delicately preppy. The leather jacket was particularly striking against the clay-toned backdrop; a reminder that courtside style doesn't have to play by country club rules. If anything, the unexpected edge made it unmistakably Lily.
Beside her, Ashley Park opted for a bold polka dot co-ord with wide-leg trousers, bringing her own playful spin to courtside glamour. Move over, Emily and Mindy of Emily in Paris, because Lily and Ashley definitely know a thing or two about style.
Look 3: Halter and High Stakes
By finals weekend, Collins saved her most stunning ensemble for centre court.
Donning a black halter-neck top and shorts that highlighted clean lines and sharp tailoring, she made a statement for dark hues and summery silhouettes. Collins accessorised with a black Hermès Birkin featuring gold hardware, which is a rare courtside appearance for the iconic bag. Paired with Jimmy Choo kitten heel mules and 18K Cartier jewellery, the style icon achieved understated sophistication.
In another appearance on the same day, Collins layered a structured black blazer over her black mini ensemble. On top of that, she added sharp sunglasses and relaxed confidence to the minimalist silhouette.
The styling upgrade transformed the same base into something more directional and city-ready. The addition of the blazer gave the look a slightly masculine edge, making her French Open wardrobe both graceful and versatile.
On a side note, her black manicure contrasts rebelliously with the softer floral shades of the season. Apparently, black never clocks out for the season.
Lily in Paris
Throughout the tournament at Roland-Garros, Collins moved seamlessly between polished femininity and laidback courtside cool. Whether posing solo against the iconic clay backdrop, walking hand-in-hand with McDowell, or sharing moments with Ashley Park, her outfits scored high in the hearts of fashionistas.
While the French Open crowned its champions on the court, Lily Collins claimed her own victory in the stands, delivering a masterclass on how to serve.
