Lily Collins has finally shared a new sneak peak at Emily in Paris season two – and fans are extra excited to get another look at the fashion from the show. Spoiler alert: c’est chic.
Giving us a glimpse at Emily’s love heart-dotted dress and bestie Mindy in a striking metallic suit, Lily wrote on Instagram: “Queens of hearts. BTS Season 2 @emilyinparis… coming December 22!!…”
Season one of the show certainly proved a hit: released in October last year, it provided a welcome antidote and escapism after the first six months of the pandemic.
Yet, the team behind the show, which includes Sex and the City producer Darren Starr, has faced criticism around its lack of representation due to a predominantly white cast.
As anyone familiar with the show will know, Lily plays Emily – the title character. She also has a producer role, and promised things will change for the upcoming season two during a recent interview with ELLE magazine, stressing that she was “passionate” about instigating change after season one.
She said: “For me as Emily, but also as a producer on [the show], after season one, hearing people’s thoughts, concerns, questions, likes, dislikes, just feelings about it, there were certain things that spoke to the time that we’re living in and what’s right, and moral and correct and should be done.
“And [that was] something that I felt passionate about. [The producers] all believed in the same things. And I really wanted diversity and inclusion in front of and behind the camera to be something that we really put our focus on, in a lot of ways.
“Hiring new people in front of the camera, also giving new storylines to different characters, which was really important.”
Despite criticism around the show’s diversity, it has enjoyed undeniable success. According to official Netflix stats, Emily in Paris has been watched by an impressive 58 million people – and it was one of the most-streamed shows of 2020 behind Bridgerton (82 million), Tiger King (64 million) and The Queen’s Gambit (62 million).
