In Emily In Paris, Philippine Leroy-Beaulieu plays Sylvie Grateau, midwestern transplant Emily Cooper’s perpetually unimpressed Parisian boss. But you’d be forgiven for conflating the actor and her character—the domineering marketing executive’s wardrobe of sharp tailoring and louche evening dresses isn’t too much of a stretch from Leroy-Beaulieu’s own off-screen uniform.
Since her days as a stage actor in the late 1980s, the star has cultivated a style that epitomizes French chic, becoming a staple of Cannes and Venice Film Festivals. Like Sylvie, Leroy-Beaulieu appreciates the qualities of a power suit, but also gravitates towards embellished evening dresses (usually Armani Privé or Schiaparelli) and Parisian-style lace done by Saint Laurent.
