Many of us have probably met someone like Philippine Leroy-Beaulieu’s Sylvie on Emily in Paris—an unbending but utterly chic superior whom we ache to appease (and whose closet we’d love to raid). As she’s the daughter of a French actor and a fashion model, it’s no wonder Leroy-Beaulieu emits effortless elegance even when she isn’t playing Sylvie, and this couldn’t have been more evident at a recent press event for the season four, part one premiere of the Netflix series.
It was a stylish affair all around, with lead Lily Collins sporting a sleek black and brown YSL ensemble, while costar Ashley Park rocked a black suit set with lime green lining. But the true scene-stealer of the evening was Leroy-Beaulieu, who stunned in a sheer Saint Laurent look that was playful and fabulous.

As an obsessive pop music aficionado, I couldn’t help but see a resemblance to Madonna’s disco-inspired ensemble from the “Hung Up” music video, from the belted, long-sleeved top to the matching undergarments. However, Leroy-Beaulieu’s fit was more of a black-tie take, because instead of being a bodysuit, her sheer wraplike top flowed into a pencil skirt that hung around her stockinged legs.
She kept the look monochromatic with a pair of brown strappy heels, and she accessorized like all the cool girls are doing this days—with stacks of bangles climbing up her arms.
But her fashion domination didn’t end there. At the official Emily in Paris premiere in Los Angeles on Wednesday night, the French actor wowed again, with a black sequined Schiaparelli gown from the luxury label’s Spring/Summer ’24 couture collection.

The sleeveless, sculptural design featured a sharp-angled skirt that made Leroy-Beaulieu look like a falcon with her wings folded in, and this image was only further emphasized by the fringe decorating the center slit of the skirt. To complete the look, Leroy-Beaulieu added black backless pumps with a gold toe, and she accessorized with chainlike earrings and a knotlike bracelet and ring. Très magnifique!
