How does Emily in Paris afford designer?
4) Emily never uses public transportation
Emily can't 'supposedly afford' designer items, but she has the money to pay for a cab. However, she is only seen using it once in a while.
And what would Emily earn? According to Bramleys, her salary would be around 60.000 euros a year, meaning she's definitely not living according to her means.
But we did our research and it's actually from the fast fashion brand Pretty Little Thing, and due to sale pricing, the two pieces total just $45. You read that right: A whole perfect-as-a-summer's-day outfit for under $50.
When constructing the style for Season 2 of “Emily in Paris,” consulting costume designer Patricia Field said “it was time to shake it up a bit.”
Emily can't speak French, she has lots of "American" ideas (that are better than the French ones), the locals hate her despite her being relentlessly upbeat, and hilarity ensues. This is the worst show on TV. Even worse than shows on 7Mate, and they have things like Storage Wars.
For Emily, though, Pierre is still a legend she wants to win over to prove herself to her Savoir coworkers. So, is Pierre based on a real designer? While Pierre Cadault doesn't seem to be directly based on any real person, one could argue he's an amalgamation of many other fashion designers.
When the first season of Emily in Paris dropped on Netflix in 2020 the French were not happy. We spoke to a number of French people who told us the show was highly inaccurate, ridiculous and at times offensive.
While Netflix has yet to publicly reveal Collins' Emily in Paris salary, Cosmopolitan estimates that the star earns around $300,000 per episode of Emily in Paris. At 10 episodes per season, that puts Collins' Emily in Paris salary at around $3 million.
Emily visits Camille's family home in an effort to recruit her family's champagne business as a new client for Savoir. She spends a beautiful weekend at a French Château in the Beaujolais wine region of France. The actual filming location is Château de Sonnay, however we'd recommend the Contiki Château.
Besides, she said, the fantasy was likely part of the reason for the success of the series. “The vision of Paris is totally unrealistic, but the real Paris isn't very entertaining at the moment and we have a great desire for entertainment right now,” she said.
Why does Emily in Paris dress like that?
Her Eiffel Tower blouse was peak tackiness. Which was kind of the point, as costume designer Patricia Fields revealed. “She wants to impress,” she said. The aforementioned, offending blouse was “a nod to her excitement at being there — it was intentionally cliché.”
