ICONActress Philippine Leroy Beaulieu (who plays Sylvie in 'Emily in Paris') is also a real-life French style icon
By Silvia Lopez
Philippine Leroy Beaulieu, the actress who plays the empowered Sylvie in the series Emily in Paris (created by Darren Star for Netflix) is the big fashion surprise of recent times. As suddenly happened with Katie Holmes with her viral look in 2019, the veteran French actress has become a style benchmark that is as universal and indisputable as it is unexpected overnight. In just one season, the winter of 2022, in which everything indicated that the protagonists of And Just Like That were going to put the style of the over 50s on the map, it has been a secondary character in a teenage series that it has become the greatest standard-bearer of good taste that resists the passage of time.
Sylvie, the calculating (but deep-hearted) boss of Lily Collins' character in Emily in Paris, vindicates not only the visibility of women her age, but also suggests with her presence that they can be attractive, powerful , magnetic and interesting. Interestingly, Philippine Leroy Beaulieu, the actress who plays her, has done exactly the same thing in real life this week (see-through dress included).
It has happened in the Men's Fashion Week that is being held these days in Paris, a city where, in real life, it rains much more than what the series shows. Philippine Leroy Beaulieu, who has attended the front row of the Ami show as a guest, has embroidered an outstanding waterproof winter look that is in tune with the style of her character: extra-long black cloth coat with white clerical collar, black handbag with silver appliqués , metallic heeled and strappy sandals and some precious diamond dangling earrings. Loose hair, natural makeup, impeccable red manicure.
The surprise came when the French interpreter opened her coat to pose backstage at the show: her midi-length ladylike dress in deep green with ruffles on the sleeves and skirt was actually an update this winter of the infallible and suggestive naked dress. The undressed dress made trend with the glamor that only some French women possess. Philippine Leroy Beaulieu not only has that je ne sais quoi: he also knows how to put it into practice.
