Netflix’s hit show Emily in Paris is back on our screens with all its charm: fascinating people, stunning locations, delicious food, and stunning fashion. There’s no denying that this show is full of clichés, but it’s also fun and dramatic, so you can’t help but binge-watch it as soon as the season ends. When it comes to fashion, Emily (played by Lily Collins) is the clear star of the show with her colorful outfits, bold statement pieces, and patterned looks. But as the series progressed, so did the fashion game of the Parisian women on the show, especially Emily’s ever-stylish boss Sylvie (played by Filipine Leroy-Beaulieu). Today we’ll be discussing why Sylvie is the ultimate fashion icon for Emily in Paris.
In the show, Sylvie Grateau is a woman in her 50s who runs her own business. She is smart, fearless, bold and represents classic French elegance with an edge. Her vibrant approach to minimalist style, the perfect blend of sensuality and sophistication, appeals to young audiences. In contrast to Emily’s extravagant approach to fashion, Sylvie’s style can be described as “very thoughtful, very understated.” The Filipino herself ages like fine wine, and her “Sylvie” wardrobe is a true testament to classic French style and timeless design.
Emily, I’m sorry, but Sylvie is Emily’s ultimate fashion icon in Paris.
We’re not going to start a fashion war between Emily and Sylvie, but we can’t help but marvel at Sylvie’s outfit. In his first two seasons, Cooper grabbed our attention with his bold and quirky choices, funky headgear, and attention-grabbing prints. We couldn’t help but root for the kind American lady next door who was trying to survive in Paris without understanding the local language or culture.
Sylvie Grateau, on the other hand, is an elegant, bold, and a la mode boss who is difficult to read and unpleasant. She represents the best of classy and confident Parisian fashion. While Emily is known for her playful combination of colors and patterns, Sylvie opts for a more subdued palette. She prefers colors like black, gray, and neutrals, with occasional bold pops of color or statement pieces.
One of the main elements of her delicate power dressing lies in the perfect tailoring of her clothes. From sophisticated blazers to stunning pencil skirts, everything in her wardrobe fits perfectly. Her impeccable fashion sense reflects her strong personality and no-nonsense approach to life. Her accessories are never overbearing or flashy. Instead, they complement her ensemble and provide a touch of delicate elegance. She is not shy about her femininity. Her tailored outfit features a low neckline and a thigh-high slit, but never crosses the line of obscene. Sensual yet sophisticated. Sylvie exudes a French “je ne sais quoi” attitude, never seeking attention but always embracing it in style.
