"Emily in Paris " stills were revealed in the third season. Sylvie, the boss in the play, has the super charm of a French workplace woman. Although she looks mean, her attitude of doing things without selfishness has also attracted a lot of fans.
And I can't believe it, the actor who plays Sylvie Philippine Leroy-Beaulieur is nearly 60 years old, standing next to Lily Collins without any sense of incongruity, looking radiant and in a very good shape!
Sylvie can be said to be very unparalleled in Paris's "Emily in Paris" that best represents the role of Parisian women - cold, mysterious, and unforced fashion, smoking for lunch, looking full of beauty, and sticking people-oriented obedience.
The person who plays this role is actress Philippine Leroy-Beaulieu. She is 57 years old this year, the daughter of French movie star Philippe Leroy. She was born in Rome and is a very senior actress in the French film and television industry.
Philippine's father is the well-known French movie star Philippe Leroy, so Philippine appeared on the big screen at the age of 16 and started her acting career; two years after her debut, she was shortlisted for the Best Supporting Actress in the Caesar Film Awards, known as the French Oscar.
For "Emily in Paris", Philippine said in an interview that when she saw the script, she knew that she could play Sylvie well because her mother was Sylvie.
Philippine's mother works as the head of the accessories department in Dior, supervising each series of jewelry and bags. My mother's image in the workplace has also become a reference for Philippine, and even her clothing style is referenced by her mother.
Philippine was born and raised in Rome. She also suffered discrimination when she first moved to France. In an interview, she mentioned that she didn’t know how to speak French when she first arrived in Paris. She wrote a few questions in French in class, and was ridiculed by classmates and teachers.
In the first season of "Emily in Paris", she once called Emily La plouc (the country bumpkin), but in fact she was really called that, so she put this inspiration into the show.
Because she was exposed to the fashion circle since she was a child, Philippine said: "Since the age of 13, I have known French women like Sylvie. They are jealous of young girls, afraid of getting older, and afraid of being replaced at work."
Her mother has been jealous of older women because of her beauty, and even treated harshly. But because of her experience, her mother taught her not to follow the trend, be herself, and find the style that suits her best is the real French Chic.
Philippine also wore a bikini in the second season of "Emily in Paris" to show off her good figure. It makes people unable to believe that this is the figure that a woman nearly 60 years old will have.
Philippine said: "They told me to wear a bikini, and I was very panicked because the lockdown had just ended, and I drank a lot of wine and ate a lot of delicious food like everyone else." But she still managed to keep her body in her best condition before the shooting.
