In the light, binge-able and just as easily forgettable Part 1, romances are kindled, die, or continue to simmer, amidst somewhat fabulous winter fashion, all while setting up trips outside Paris for Part 2.
The third season of Darren Star’s Emily in Parisended with Camille (Camille Razat) calling off her wedding to hot chef Gabriel (Lucas Bravo), insisting that he and Emily (Lily Collins) always had feelings for each other. This caused Emily’s British banker boyfriend, Alfie (Lucien Laviscount), to stomp off in a designer huff. And just in case we forgot, Season 4 opens with Camille’s brother, Timothée (Victor Meutelet), naming and shaming Emily on TikTok, and the video naturally going viral.
It is three days after the wedding that wasn’t, and Camille is missing, Alfie is sulking, and Emily and Gabriel are trying to convince everyone that they are just good friends — never mind the longing, languishing looks. Oh also, it is the French Open and a big advertising campaign calls for Emily and Alfie to kiss on the stands at Stade Roland Garros.
Emily’s best friend, heiress and singer, Mindy (Ashley Park), and her band are chosen to represent France at the Eurovision song contest, which is great but since she has broken up with band member, Benoît (Kevin Dias), will it be awkward? Also, they need money to fund their trip, so should Mindy tap her rich boyfriend, Nicolas (Paul Forman), or her business magnate estranged father?
Emily’s boss and owner of Agence Grateau, Sylvie (Philippine Leroy-Beaulieu), also has problems with her past with Louis de Léon (Pierre Deny), whose luxury goods company JVMA is one of Grateau’s clients. Also, Louis has heavily invested in Sylvie’s husband Laurent’s (Arnaud Binard) club and is Nicolas’ father.
Emily’s co-workers, Julien (Samuel Arnold) and Luc (Bruno Gouery), continue to be fun with Julien getting an offer he cannot refuse or can he, and Luc finding out his love, Marianne (Laurence Gormezano) the Michelin inspector, is hiding a secret.
Emily in Paris does not offer much plot-wise so let us look at the fashion, shall we? It is very on point, with an Emily spin on the oh-so-trendy mesh shoe. Mindy goes slightly Kate (Emily’s words, not mine) at Roland Garros but later reverts to her flamboyant style.
Emily, while continuing to favour bright colours (including an all-yellow ensemble) also goes for trés chic in a simple coordinated fitted blouse and skirt. Her bangs, which she dramatically cut last season, are not much in view, pinned up in an up-do or pushed back in a cute, accessible hair band. Her masquerade ball outfit looked sewn onto her and that half skirt looked neither here nor there, but she made it work thanks to the dramatic hat.
The five episodes of Emily in Paris are light, bingeable and just as easily forgettable. One wouldn’t lose sleep waiting for Part 2 to drop on September 12 but that does not mean one wouldn’t watch it — especially since handsome Marcello (Eugenio Franceschini) helped Emily ski down the bunny slope in the sneak peek offered.
