These are the best gifts to buy Emily in Paris superfans (or anyone desperate to be Parisian)
2020 might have fooled us all, but it did bring us Emily in Paris, the Netflix drama we never knew we needed in our lives.
The eight-part drama first aired on the streaming platform last month and has since become the most talked about show since Tiger King . While some binge-watched it in a day, others heavily criticised the show for its idealistic, cliched portrayal of Paris. Sure, it covers every cliche, but isn’t that what we all need amongst the doom and gloom of lockdown 2.0?
It’s not just the storylines and characters that have attracted mixed opinion, but the fashion too. Whether you loved it or hated it, the world cannot stop talking about Emily’s bold, eclectic style. From a houndstooth blazer, to the printed yellow ensemble, and of course an array of berets, Netflix spared no expense serving up the biggest fashion moments of 2020.
Chances are, someone in your life is completely obsessed with the show and wants to emulate all things Emily Cooper.
