Since August 15, the new season of Emily in Paris has already been streaming on Netflix. And for the biggest fans of the series, one detail has not escaped their attention. Because, if its heroine, Emily Cooper, is American, the program has indeed suggested a few ideas about another icon, this time from across the Channel: Kate Middleton. It’s Emily Cooper in Paris! The character of the most Frenchy American in the capital, played by Lily Collins, is revealed a little more in a brand new season, available since August 15 on Netflix. Even if only the first five of the ten episodes of this sequel have already been released, it was enough for fans of the series to start binge-watching the new adventures of the expatriate influencer. Among the flagship characters of the series, we can mention those played by the essential Philippine Leroy-Beaulieu, Emily evolves in a Paris smoothed for the screen and with an undeniable taste. It must be said that the creators of this Netflix production are inspired by the greatest fashion icons, and Kate Middleton is one of them.
Moreover, several royal family insiders quickly noticed that one of the looks worn by Mindy Chen’s character was not unfamiliar to them. Indeed, upon reflection, it seems to have been heavily inspired by Princess Kate Middleton’s outfit during her visit to Wimbledon in 2023. Although the color is somewhat different from that of the future Queen of England, there is no doubt that it did not escape our attention. The white suit worn by her on-screen partner is almost an exact replica of that of Roger Federer at her side. A detail that can only warm our hearts, especially since Prince William’s wife has returned to discretion in recent months due to her battle with serious cancer. With such a reminder, there is no doubt: the princess is only temporarily erased from our media memory. Her next return will be all the more savored!
This nod to Kate Middleton is not the only one, and not the first either, if not at least it was red, that was posted on the streaming platform. Because much earlier than Kate, there was Elizabeth II, and of course Diana in the series The Crown. It is a spectator of several decades of the British monarchy, from the coronation of Elizabeth II and until the death of Lady Di. The show is a huge success for Netflix. Kate Middleton appeared in the series, in which the beginnings of their romance with William were recreated. It seems that new season of the relations between “Firm” and the platform has a lot of potential.
