Lucien Laviscount, known for his role as Alfie Peterson in Emily in Paris, has revealed his ultimate wardrobe desire: to “100 percent” steal all of Alfie’s impeccably tailored suits. This deep dive into Laviscount’s personal style, his admiration for his character’s honesty, and tantalizing teasers for the upcoming Season 5 offers fans an exclusive look into the man behind Alfie’s unforgettable fashion and the show’s future.
As fans eagerly await the return of Emily in Paris Season 5 on December 18, anticipation builds not just for the romantic drama and Parisian escapades, but also for the show’s iconic fashion. Among the many enviable wardrobes, Alfie Peterson’s collection of tailored suits has consistently stood out, captivating viewers and even winning over the actor who brings him to life, Lucien Laviscount.
Alfie’s Coveted Suits: A Wardrobe Heist in the Making
Lucien Laviscount, the 33-year-old actor portraying the charismatic Londoner, recently confessed his strong desire to “100 percent” liberate Alfie’s suits from the set. At the De Beers Group Desert Diamond Launch in New York on October 10, Laviscount exclusively told People, “I think Alfie has the best suiting on the show, so I’d probably be stealing all of the suits from Alfie’s wardrobe.” He emphatically added, “I’m taking every suit that Alfie wears, 100 percent.”
This candid admission resonates deeply with fans who appreciate Alfie’s polished and sophisticated style, which often serves as a striking contrast to Emily Cooper’s more flamboyant ensembles. The meticulous tailoring and classic elegance of Alfie’s suits have indeed made them a highlight of the show’s fashion narrative.
Beyond the Screen: Laviscount’s Personal Style Philosophy
Laviscount’s appreciation for well-tailored suits extends far beyond his character. In an interview with GQ published on October 18, 2025, the actor delved into his personal fashion philosophy, revealing a dedication to craftsmanship and comfort. He’s a proponent of wearing tank tops under suits, finding them both comfortable and grounding for any outfit. His own red carpet appearances frequently showcase this style, sometimes even foregoing an underlayer.
His evolving dress sense is described as “creative,” driven by how clothes make him feel. Laviscount credits working on Emily in Paris with opening his eyes to “playing with colors more.” His personal “uniform” often consists of a high-waisted trouser with a flare bottom, paired with a tank top, jacket, or t-shirt.
Interestingly, Laviscount also admitted to regularly “borrowing” items from set, specifically suits, and returning them dry-cleaned. This practice underscores his genuine love for high-quality garments and his practical approach to fashion.
Given his self-described 28-inch waist, Laviscount highlights the crucial role of a good tailor in achieving the perfect fit. He even keeps a couple of trusted tailors, one in London and another in Brooklyn, emphasizing that a great tailor can elevate any garment, regardless of its brand.
The Man Behind the Suit: Laviscount on Alfie’s Honesty
Beyond the threads, Laviscount finds common ground with Alfie in his unwavering honesty. “I think Alfie kind of always speaks his truth, which I’d like to say is a trait of mine. In the most difficult situations, he speaks the truth. I like to say I’m pretty similar in that respect,” Laviscount shared with People. This shared trait adds depth to his portrayal, making Alfie not just a style icon, but a character grounded in authenticity, even when it leads to “messy consequences.” Laviscount, who joined the series in Season 2, expressed his enjoyment of bringing Alfie to life over the past four years, calling him “an amazing part of my life now.”
What to Expect: ‘Emily in Paris’ Season 5 Teasers
While Laviscount’s fashion insights offer a glimpse into his world, his teasers for Emily in Paris Season 5 have sent fans into a frenzy of speculation. He ominously advised viewers to “strap in” because the new season “goes left, so far left, and a little bit right this season.” He further added, “I didn’t know what to expect — none of us do before we get the scripts — and we got the scripts for this season and it’s… Yeah, I don’t think anyone could have foreseen that coming.”
