France’s First Lady will wear her own clothing, “with no particular instructions given to her” by the series known for its fashion sense, Elle magazine has revealed, and Netflix confirmed with AFP.
The second half of the fourth season will be released on Thursday on the streaming platform.
“The idea of the cameo came to us when (programme creator) Darren Star and I met her at the Elysée Palace in December 2022,” the show’s star Lily Collins told Elle.
“She is a big fan of the show and took the mention of her in season one with great humour. This scene in season four is a wink, and shooting with her was both an honour and a real joy.”
Star added that Mme Macron, who has been married to the French president since 2007, “has great talent!”.
Since launching in 2020, the series has attracted audiences and made headlines. It has been loved and hated, and for some, who love to hate it.
Emily in Paris has been criticised in France for its stereotypical, fantastical portrayal of life in the City of Light, from beret-wearing bon vivant lifestyle to sanitised, ‘Instagramable’ scenes of the capital.
