‘Emily in Paris’ Returns With Messier Relationships (and Wilder Outfits)
With maximalist accessories, a Hamburglar-like bodysuit and a Parisian love triangle, the Netflix show is back for a fourth season.
There was a baby pink (red) carpet. Hundreds of tiny fruit tarts. Selfie mirrors that read “Haute girl summer.” And lots of berets.
On Wednesday night, about 500 people showed up at the ornate Egyptian Theater in Hollywood for the season premiere of “Emily in Paris,” the tale of the young American marketing savant turned influencer, played by Lily Collins, now in its fourth season. (Part 1 is streaming on Netflix, and Part 2 will be available on Sept. 12.)
“The show has created its own little Emily-in-Paris-verse,” said LucienLaviscount, who plays Emily’s boyfriend, Alfie, and wore Dolce & Gabbana.
“It’s that little bit of light, that little bit of love, that little bit of je ne sais quoi,” he added.
But as the new season picks up, the main relationships of the show are in shambles. At the end of Season 3, Camille has just called off her engagement party turned impromptu wedding in the sun-dappled town of Champagne, in northeast France. In a dramatic turn at the altar, she proclaims she can’t marry Gabriel because he has obviously been in love with Emily since the moment they met. Emily is left at the wedding by Alfie, a good guy who has always felt like her second choice. And though Camille doesn’t say it at the wedding, she is pregnant with Gabriel’s baby.
“I think Emily wants the best for each of these people that she’s met,” Ms. Collins, who wore Armani Prive, said. “In some weird way, it works at the beginning for all of them to be in some version of a friendship-relationship dynamic.”
