If she was really in Paris, she'd be an intern working as a waiter at night to afford her room in an apartment with three roommates.
So true
exactly, paris is like one of the most expensive cities in the world, but she just throws money on clothes (and she doesn’t look too passionate either)
😂😂😂 mybe three jobs aside from her main job .
@@-starvs213 more like knowing how to look good without buying name brands. That is French way. They will by name brand on most important thing to use and last longer.
And have the toilet seat right next to her bed in her 8m2 room in the shared flat. A room that costs 800€ a month. I'm not even exaggerating
how did she become "famous" in like a week by posting random, bad quality photos of paris on her instagram? that was one of the most ridiculous aspects of the show for me
bro ikr and then they made her delete the instagram? but she kept posting so it made no sense
probably cause people like to see someone else “living a dream”. When a youtuber lives in NY or Japan they usually follow them just for that aspect
@@pepper7190 and how patricia somehow understood english in later episode when in the first one she doesnt understand at all
@@jelkafabianova2801 but they were already influencers, so it’s easier, plus they know what it takes for people liking your stuff, and they just take advantage of the fact they are in a place people like more. But Emily? You CANOT get ig famous like that, your selfie in lark sis one in a million. No one uses that type of hashtags. It seems easy but it takes a lot of work to get real instagram followers, and you need to be constantly posting and interacting (which makes no sense for Emily since she is solo used it alwaybe at work and only post when she goes out for a run, or while she on her way to her job)
literally, it’s so hard to get famous on insta and her feed was so bad
the fact that emily is supposed to be a likeable protagonist is beyond me
Shes like that MC from "Sarah (idk her last name) is a loser"
Literally. All Americans I know hate her and have no idea why this was allowed to air and feel terrible about Emily's subtle racism throughout the show
I love your pfp 😭
@@hinklefamily1831 how was she a racist?
@@narsis273 I said subtle racism. Basically, it's her whole thing of treating her nationality as more important then the french people around her. Not sure what you'd call racism to a specific nationality rather then actual race, so I just went with that
I don’t know why, but Emily in Paris looks like such a 2010-2015 show… even the fashion seems to fit that time period. It’s really weird, doesn’t feel like a 2020 series.
To me, it feels like a mexican soap opera that tried and failed miserably to be "ironically woke" and just ended up being blatantly insensitive and cringy
That's what I was thinking, take out the sexual stuff and you've got an early 2010's disney channel movie where [insert pop singer here] gets her dream job in Paris
The clothes reminded me so much of what my fellow study-abroad FIT classmates were wearing circa 2006. They were all Midwest teens heavily influenced by Sex And The City.
It was absolutely incredible how devoted those girls were to wearing stillettos on cobblestones every single day.
It being set in 2010 would make so much more sense. That's the year Instagram launched, and Emily's poorly framed photos with cheesy captions might have actually gotten her famous if she was an early adopter.
Exactly what I was thinking. They all dress like it's the early 2010s. No reference to current trends whatsoever.
Emily's style is basically the use of "randomize sim" button.
That is so 100 percent perfect discription of her style
Exactly
Lmao
Just because this show is badly written doesn't mean the outfits are actually bad. Mina Le criticized this show's fashion and look at how she dresses here. That's the definition of clashing
YAAAAASSS!!!😂
Hot take: Emily in Paris is actually a wildly successful piece of anti-American tourist propaganda
lol
Hahahhahaa
nailed it
nobody got its sarcasm.
😂😂💀
Why is no one talking about the way that they hired a Korean woman to act as a Chinese character to spout disgusting things boosting stereotypes. She said many insensitive lines about the one child family law China had in its most poverty driven years just ignoring the deaths, an despair so many people experienced. It was actually disgusting.
ikr the ignorance and the racism to not just the token Asian smart mouth, but the token black gay. they're both harmful asf and so unfair considering that she's in PARIS and it only has TWO poc, and making those TWO SO ANNOYING. it's just white writers making these characters one dimensional and ignorant.
What's wrong with that? There are British actors playing French people, Polish actors playing Russian people, etc. It's just nationality within the same race. Don't be so touchy.
@@Catkovi Its wrong because they are making her talk about something that killed THOUSANDS of people. That's like if I were to hire an Indian person to talk about the loses in the bubonic plague and hurtful stereotypes. I'm also not understanding what you're saying about the races, Koreans and Chinese people are two different groups of people and just because they are asian doesn't mean they should be considered the same.
@@moyazhao4676 it's not like she was forced to tho? She can just not take the part. She knows what she has to say and what character she plays. Not arguing but I think it should go both ways.
@@ashkit1214 Thats beyond the point, people will naturally gravitate towards a role if 1.it pays well and 2.they person is an aspiring actor actress, etc. If you wanted to become a makeup artist wouldn't you take all the oppurtunities to get there? The point is that her character said bad things, yes she is wrong for accepting the role, but the main problem is with the directors/ writers.
I feel like Emily is that type of person who thinks that they are fashionable/passionate about fashion just because they wear designer clothes, but don't have an actual sense of fashion or style.
The most absurd thing about the show is the idea that a French company would seek out “an American point of view” in the first place
Totally agree
i mean it would make sense if their goal is to reach an american market but emily is never shown working towards reaching an american market only a french one
wasn't it a clause in the contract brought upon by the chicago company? Not sure but that's what I thought (otherwise, yeah it wouldn't make any sense)
The French can't stand Americans, especially if they don't speak French, speak bad French, or are even slightly overweight.
@@eringemini7091 I feel like that’s most Europeans
This “plot” is like every Wattpad/fanfiction I read when I was a pre teen.
And I bad one at that
Even wattpad has more good histories than this 💀💀💀
The way everytime Emily turns around a new local hottie is there making heart eyes at her? Never seen that outside of badly written fanfiction hghjghjgjhg
@@dani-hc9ch I've seen great writers on Wattpad who aren't able to afford to go through the publication process. I wouldn't generalize the entire userbase.
I wouldn't be surprised if the plot was derived from one
the only thing i don't understand is that gabriel likes emily rather than camille, emily is so exhausting and camille is so perfect
ikr? like camille was so sweet and fun and genuinely wanted the best for everyone
EMiLy iS beTTeR BeCaUsE sHe's aMEriCaN
AGREEEE);
Camille has better style too.
@@rompecabeza1509 pls say you're joking LMAO "EmaScuLatinG"- no it's avoiding being homeless
Emily from “The Devil Wears Prada” was the Emily who deserved to be in Paris!!!
spit out the TRUTH!!
YEEES!!! She would rock her fashion style there.
"Everything she suggests is a hit."
This is what I disliked about the show the most. It was so unrealistic and so irritating.
There's a line in there somewhere about her having a master's in marketing. So you can at least assume she's very educated, and she could come up with great ideas.
it’s a show made for entertainment and the whole paris cool aesthetic. what do you expect
The American girl who doesn’t speak the language nor understands the local market saves the day, whilst the entire french firm didnt know what they were doing - is essentially what they were trying to portray there 😐
@@xotoast her masters in marketing didn't show because she always had super random ideas and sometimes even made things viral by accident, not because shes a genius like the vagine jeun and she stared at her laptop for like 5 minutes at work every day and then ran off
@@Juliette5044 oh I agree completely. They did make it seems random or by luck 99% of the time. But having a master's almost explains that she could be just good at these things.
Getting real sick of these shows and movies about the "hero" American showing up all the "dumb" foreigners in their own country. It doesn't make me feel better as an American, it just gives me second-hand embarrassment and anxiety about visiting other countries.
Watch more foreign films. This narrative goes both ways. It's exhausting, regardless.
@T K it honestly annoys white people, too, even though we're not personally disrespected by it and we're not the ones on the receiving end of that racist and exploitative culture.
get ready to see some american saviors in films about the covid-19 pandemic, when in reality the usa literally held on to respirators from china that were supposed to come to brazil
@@julietteSoul ironically being "self-centered" is what they are using to call americans.
Sorry but it's kinda true that I don't want to be associated in an American group of people when I travel in other countries... I see a lot of Americans being super loud and sometimes rude..
Désolée je suis nulle en anglais mais vous avez compris l'idée haha
They did Lily Collins extremely dirty by giving her the worst character ever made in history
If i'm not mistaken she's producer of this show.
@@himurahaibara1459 there were five producers, maybe it’s a case of too many chefs in the kitchen?
AGREEE because i like her a lot but not so much as emily);
I feel the same way
I don’t feel sorry for her. Getting involved in this project was her choice and she’s getting a large check for it
y’all when Emily said “Outlet mall in Winnetka” it literally sent me because I went to school in Winnetka, Illinois and it is one of the richest areas in Illinois. If you remember the home alone house, it’s located in Winnetka, Illinois and most of the houses in the neighborhood are as big if not bigger. The people who live there would definitely NOT shop at outlet malls and it just goes to show the depth of research the creators of the show did.
ARE there any outlet malls in Winnetka? I don't think so.
emily is a poorly written mary sue fanfiction self-insert. it's why all her clothes look like those outfit collages people used to use on wattpad lol
it’s funny bc they always use lily collins too 😭
im screenshotting cuz this is the most accurate description
oh my god you're so right
OH MY GOD YES THEY ARE A BIT WATTPAD SKSJSJS
Lily Collins is literally the Wattpad yn
The Queen's Gambit served WAY better looks. And the clothes actually reflected Beth's character.
I agree and especially at the end of the show I loved her all white outfit
@@juliemerp5838 yea it’s supposed to symbolize the queen chess piece!
@@carolinejordon6822 such a cool idea emily could never😭
110% agree I adored the queens gambit and the clothing was just the icing on the cake
yes ikr? did u see her outfit in her last scene, all white with glamourous and with that hat she looked like the white queen, which the producers said it was intended, how thoughtful
Emily dressed like there was a different stylist every day, none of them were allowed to talk to each other, they had a minimum budget of 500 dollars an outfit, and none of them had the same details about her personality
LMFAO UNDERRATED COMMENT
Its like a boomer wrote a series about all the bad stereotypes about younger millennials. Like how we are self absorbed and have everything handed to us. LOL because I def didn't sympathize with her.
I totally agree with this omg!!
That seems right
Absolutely. And boomers were the only ones who had everything handed to them.
@@eldron29-a54 this the one! They had it really good. We did everything right and still cant afford to live fr.
FR
WHY did they have her sleep with a minor and then act like that was just a funny little accident?? emily slept with her client's teenaged son and they didn't FIRE her???????? also i reaaaally hated how she took photos of strangers without asking them and posted them online. like the photos of the women smoking outside a gym (or cycling studio or something) like why
Not only was it her client’s son but her FRIEND’S younger brother. After she made out with said friend’s boyfriend. And all she gets is a laugh out of this friend.
@@RogueVideoRaven emily honestly sucks
Just as a heads up, sexual majority in France is 15 years old legally, it's definitely different here - not as stigmatized as in the US
ishei You make a great point but the series was obviously made for American audiences and the way the age thing was handled so bad in comparison to how she’s seen other aspects of French culture. She can’t wrap her head around the work culture or the language or her steak but sleeping with a 16 year old? Totally okay in her book.
when i was watching moderngurlz video i did a double take and had to rewind the video when i heard that
"she took photos of someone elses meal" ok a bit annoying but okay "slept with her friends underage brother" ILLEGAL, emily
Can we talk about how they’re constantly “bumping into one another” even though Paris is HUGE and doesn’t only consist of the same 4 or 5 people. Also that one scene where mindy starts singing in the park and everyone surrounds her is so cringe. This show was all too predictable and probably the worst show I’ve ever seen lol.
Yea I was like why is this happening? Lol
i couldn't even watch that singing scene because what?
@@alukam3986 and I find it a bit racist that the only POC on the show are the stereotypical sassy gay guy and an Asian pop star with a rich father who wants her to stay in the family business. Like giving advice and being a disgraced pop star were her only personality traits?
@@AvonneHeavenly it was so poorly put together like the show was a last minute idea or something
💀💀💀💀 you said it all. but omitted the part where she slept with a 17 year old and the writer's glossed over it and played it off as a joke. normalizing "accidentally" predatory behavior, Emily is such a queen 😌💁💅
Its so funny that they mention that her appartment is a "chambre de bonne" (litteraly meaning housekeeper room, which are small appartments under the roofs). Cause her appartement looks NOTHING like it. I live in paris in an ACTUAL "chambre de bonne" and they re usually max 10 square feet and no toilets. This is so unbelievably inaccurate lmao. Her appartment is just an appartment and its actually quite large for paris. And i dont know what disctrict she lives in, but by the looks of it her place would cost between 900 to 1400 euros a month which would equates to 1100 - 1700 american dollars.
This is cheap compared to where I live! Didn’t expect that
You also spelt apartment wrong
And ya spelt literally wrong
@@FirstLast-ox1vj IKR LMAO looks like i’m moving to paris if emily’s place costs that much 🤨
As a marketing manager myself, she could easily be making enough to afford 1100 a month. So, I don't think that's unreasonable. Her designer wardrobe however....
That one line of "your language sucks" to a native speaker.....and we're supposed to root for emily?
I hate how she really doesn't have to work...posts a couple of pictures, becomes an influencer in 2 days, gets her way with everybody, makes deals with billionaires with zero effort!!!!!!
It’s just a wattpad y/n fic
It’s mindless and entertaining, which is exactly the palate cleanser I needed for 2021. But yeah, it’s SO SO SO stupid, I can’t even defend watching it
And I’m totally gonna hate watch another season when it comes out lol. Can’t wait to see her get made VP of the firm, falling ass backwards into success, as I roll my eyes and yell at my screen
@@WonderfulWorldofAwesomeness I love all the honesty in your comment
@@WonderfulWorldofAwesomeness sometimes mindless entertainment shows are so soothing during stressful times lol
This is literally why Europe and the rest of the world says that Americans always make it about themselves.
@Peach Macabre LMAO K.
@Peach Macabre both are extremely cringy
Actually Europe always make it about them, get a history class please
@@mauriciolasch um no- at least in this particular show it clearly makes Americans look horrible and self conceited
@@mauriciolasch @Mauricio Lch I'm guessing that you got your education in the US if you're going to start your sentence with "actually." The comment I made was not a diss on the US or the people living there, but it is the common belief held by many living in Europe (sans Britain) that Americans always focuses the narrative around their own experience, not considering that the complex experiences of others are similar to their own. Which makes their experiences not unique. This was what my comment was all about, the show Emily in Paris pefectly encapsulates this concept while being completely tone deaf at the same time.
Emily's wardrobe is godawful. I don't care if a piece is designer - I would burn 98% of what she wears
The whole time I was thinking “they’re such nice pieces in the mix and it breaks my heart to see them styled so badly. give them to someone who knows how to style them!*cough* me *cough*”
I just watched this video, never actually seen Emily, but I hated every single outfit Mina showed. even the Audrey Hepburn one, and I love Audrey Hepburn! it just seemed so out of place in all of her randomness. 😢
I watched a video from a brazilian tiktoker and she gave me another perspective of the outfits. The fact that it actually portrays this caricatured American woman who travels to France, with a superficial view of the country and culture (a prejudiced and stigmatized view) and who uses several haute couture brands at the same time because she thinks that makes her part or superior to it. It's a big irony, so it makes sense that she doesn't care when she meets the designer, if it was important to her, she wouldn't dress like that.
calling up netflix to make mina in new york
love your videos
hey queen
I see you on every Emily in Paris hate video 😭
@@montag5248 if you hate something like that, it's probably fun to watch people diss it
\also these 2 RUclipsrs have a similar style, aka when I saw this video, I thought that it's follow up to moderngurlz video, because I wasn't sure who uploaded video 1
i'll sign the petition
The whole show just looks like a badly written fan fiction
Exactly...especially the self insert one when the mc is absolutely perfect and all the guys fall for her
You are missing out the point! The show is a Sattire! Its not for the Peasants to watch.
Yeah like wattpad or something
@@eduardochavacano being a sattire doesnt mean its automatically good or well-written
@@eduardochavacano Well it's definitely not good or well written satire, if that what they were going for.
I thought the joke was that Emily loves expensive clothes, but doesn't have enough "class" to know how to create an ensemble with them. Like..... she aspires to these fictionalized ideals that don't exist. But she doesn't realize that because she doesn't understand things beyond a surface level. Which represents her whole personality pretty well.
Also harper was chaotically dressed but there's something 'iconic' and overall good looking about how harper dresses. She stays within the theme of her outfit while being outlandish, so it doesn't come off as if harper's wearing it because she's harper and shes chaotic it comes off as if she took the time to put the outfit together because she likes how it look. Emily is fashionable because she's in paris and a hallmark of pairs is fashion
At least Harper was a teenager and her outfits looked cheap enough to be believable. Emily was an adult in the fashion industry, but she still somehow had the fashion sense of a toddler, while still making it expensive
Emily seems like the personification of "is the outfit good or is she just skinny?"
Especially that weird fluffy tank top. Is it cute or is it just on a pretty thin girl? It really shows how the industry sort of uses very thin women because they are so easy to design for.
No offense, skinny women. You deserve lovely and fashionable clothes too, just the fashion industry really needs to branch out more.
THIS
no to me thats just ugly
SO TRUE
@@carlycrays2831 Yes exactly. Like there's nothing groundbreaking or interesting about putting ugly clothes on a skinny woman.
Emily's apartment is huuuge for Paris. My aunt lives in Paris, she and her fiance have both worked in entertainment for like 20 years and theirs is smaller. It's also really hard to find apartments even if you're super rich
Yeah, paris is literally the most expensive city in the world to live in
Exactly! I used to live in Paris and I can say that a place of the size of Emily's costs at least 2.5k € rent a month.
RIGHT??? I had a francophile phase and wanted to live in Paris when I was younger, so I heavily researched apartments and the cost of living there. She would definitely need another job or a decent amount of savings to live there, Paris is soo expensive to live in.
@@cocoloresroth depends on the district, she's on the 5th right next to Panthéon so that's quite expensive, I wouldn't say 2 500euros though, more like 1 000euros. I live in a 22m2 2 bedroom appartement in district 19 and I pay 850euros.
@@zaboutata I lived next to the Panthéon with a roommate for a few years, rent was 1500 for 30m2, it was two chambre de bonne linked together with the kitchen in the corridor soooooo
As someone who isn’t from the US but currently lives there for education. I cam guarantee you that the whole education system is ignorant to other countries and depending on what state it is also completely biased lmao.
I think your in a bad state, I came here to study and I'm learning EXACTLY what I learned in other countries and there is no bias whatsoever. The issue with American education isn't that its all and, its just that states can choose if they want to make it bad or not
@@hinklefamily1831 im in cali lol. I go to ucla. A lot of my other friends in different unis and states says the same thing as i. I guess it depends what classes people take too. But idk it’s based on my personal experience and what i heard from a lot of people.
@@dupaleepa5331 oh geez, I'm sorry. Its weird hearing how a place like UCLA is like that. I guess Idaho is different. Well, I still hope other then education things are going well, the states are a mess rn, but there's a lot in still grateful for and I think we can pull through and fix things (it seems we prolly gotta fix our education in some places too)
It makes sense considering that video where Americans were asked to point a single country/continent on a map and NOBODY could, not even their own ffs
@@davidkonevky7372 for Fucks sake yes we can! Literally everyone in my grade can do that.
i'm offended that anyone would compare Emily's look to HARPER, THE FASHION ICON OF MY CHILDHOOD
THE DISRESPECT
Omg emily dresses just like a disney original TV character
That's what I was thinking!!! Especially the outfit at 16:51 which features an outfit I'm positive Zendaya wore on Shake It Up lmao
My thoughts exactly! Like the "fashion-forward" sidekick in a DCOM. Or like Brenda Song circa 2003-2007.
😂😂😂 never even crossed my mind but it’s so accurate’
I was thinking the same thing!!! Like they tried I guess? But it just looks like her stylist didn't have the creative vision to make a decent outfit
Yes! I told my friend Emily looked like Lizzie McGuire
Her outfits were definitely giving me rocky and Cece vibes from shake it up
Ta'zaria Robinson underrated af comment 👌🏼
please at least theirs looked a little better than emily's
That’s not even an accurate comparison because those were teenagers.
@@phil6748 it is. She’s throwing to Emily saying that Emily dresses like teenagers. And why it is not accurate because they’re teens?
yeah, she also gives me Harper vibes from The Wizards of Waverly Place.
Emily's outfits are very "2010's Tumblr".
Gotta give the show some credit for making an extremely unlikable character and proving that being pretty isn’t everything and having actual character development is important
she dresses like cece from shake it up and that's nowhere near a compliment
She dresses like Lola (Lily) from Hannah Montana
ok cece looked good in her times ok
She dresses like a 12 year old, it works on a younger person (tween age) but makes Emily a professional person look juvenile and childish, stomping her feet when she doesn't get what she wants.
yep she looks like a Disney channel character
This comment TOOK ME OUT! 😭
her going on a run in a Chanel blouse kills me lmao
It looks so uncomfortable to run in too was it that hard to find a regular white t shirt
that legit had me wondering if this whole show is some kind of parody 😂
@@pajamaslam3083 the wardrobe designer must have been trolling lmao
maybe she had no time to go change lol
Oh my god. Running? Damn.
Honestly euphoria served better outfits they even had each character have a color pallet that match their personality throughout the show and this was just a no
The most unbelievable thing in this show is the fact that she's wearing stilettos on cobblestone streets.
I hate how everything Emily did needed to be 'effortless'. She's stylish without caring about fashion and becomes an influencer on accident.
lol many times sadly some ppl things fall into their laps. dumb luck
They act like influencers suddenly gain 1 million followers for posting a very average picture of a cheeseburger that has no reedeming qualities whatsoever.
@@davidkonevky7372 yeah co sidering the fact that they have to post and interact daily, a little harder than people think.
Why do you say she doesn't care about fashion?
@@mairar9530 she didn’t know who ✨the designer✨ was and she never talks about fashion etc etc
I fell down the anti-Emily in Paris rabbit hole but the funniest thing is that every single criticism I've come across is 10000% valid lmao
Hahah same, I watched the show and went "a little boring, a little mean towards the French and some ugly outfits, but entertaining enough", then started watching all these videos and now I'm all anti-Emily xD All these videos are so entertaining and soooo true!
I am French and I found it funny, it's very 2nd degree and not serious Imo, it criticize American and French at the same time
off topic but YOUR PFP YES ABSOLUTELY 100%
"You silly American, you have nothing to lose but your chains" made me burst out laughing. 10/10 the best thing I've seen in any video about Emily in Paris.
random confession but I genuinely thought that Louboutin was just people saying Louis Vuitton really quickly 💀
She only has money for “keychain” but holds a Chanel paper bag while arguing with her American boyfriend.
She was talking about when she was a teen, back when Gossip Girl was at its height.
No the keychain was when she was a teen and didn‘t had the money but I still don‘t get how she can dress in Chanel, Dior etc. with her job.
@@kimedits22 I believe she was a marketing executive before she was transferred so he was relatively high up.
@@ethanpu8221 yeah but take into account that she’s always eating out , buying wine, and has to still pay rent. Designers like Dior and Prada tend to cost up to thousands of dollars per piece and so far from what we’ve seen of the character, she doesn’t seem fiscally conservative.
You’d have a hard time convincing me at this point that she just loots through the Ogdenville Outlet Mall looking for $90 pink Chanel suits.
@@kimedits22 she seemed like she was pretty good at her job which would mean quarterly bonuses? And maybe she was buying a lot of preloved?
But I do agree that the chanel is still pretty out of her budget. She could probably afford preloved Dior. The prices drop so much.
Emily’s outfits look like they’re from a Disney channel sitcom
Shake it up mismatched vibes
@@livelovelena4189 it’s the white booties with everything and the ugly mixed patterns with all the bright colors give me Bella Thorne's character I don’t remember her name
Exactly
Exactly
@@livelovelena4189 THIS! This is exactly what it reminds me of omg
I've got a theory: Emily is so badly dressed because the costume designer had realised the kind of nonsense this Netflix series is. So she decided to design the worst outfits she could possibly come up with as a revenge. As you more or less said yourself, Emily is a terrible character who does not change. So why should it be different when it comes to her outfits?
Can you please do a review on K-drama styling? There are so many incredibly styled shows and characters! The styling in K-dramas is so slept on.
I never watched this show, but judging from its' fragments, Emily's boss is actually always right when criticizing her. Like she can't be even considered mean, because everything she says about Emily is right, and Emily is so ignorant and rude
i’ve watched it and you’re completely right
Yea the boss was expecting an employee from america with understanding of the language and French culture and she got emily... I would be disappointed too
No, the boss is correct. See the thing is, the boss expected an American who had studied French in college and is also a one with expertise on fashion. Instead, cos the friend couldn't go, they got Emily who doesn't speak a hint of French besides bonjour, uses a translation app for French, and does not know shit about fashion. Hell, she was a marketer for fucking medicine before she came to Paris.
I love Sylvie, she's my favorite character because she's so sensible.
Also Sylvie was a freaking balm for my eyes with her impeccable style.
They missed sooo hard. Emily was so annoying, not learning french culture AT ALL. Why go to france if you wanna just stay in your bubble?
Exactly! How can someone be so damn ignorant? What is this supposed to show? The typical American? Great escapism
Yeah! I got annoyed that she was complaining about everything and act like the French people are wrong. I was shocked that she messed up the date/month/year thing at the restaurant, or that she repeatedly tried to open the wrong apartment door, and telling the people that the way Europeans count is 'Nonsense' 🙄
It's just a show. A very stupid one.
FINALLY SOMEONE WHO THINKS EMILY IS ANNOYING
Because that’s what Americans do. When a foreigner is in the US they MUST know the language and rules, but when an American is in another country they just expect everyone to fit into their form.
I can’t believe we’ve been telling filmmakers that they’re out of touch with millennials/gen-z for like,, a decade now??? and they still have no idea how we dress or how the internet works 😭😭
I actually liked camille outfits a lot more than emily’s, I felt like she had a more cohesive look and it reflected her character, the same for sylvie
As a french girl : yes. It's a disaster. C'est horriblement cliché
Grave! Ils ont abusé sur les clichés!
@@thepovdweller oui légèrement 😂✌ je pense que beaucoup de Françaises et de Français en ont été outrés (à juste titre selon moi)
À mon avis Emily est plus cliché que le reste. Franchement je suis aussi une expat en France et j’étais surprise car je me suis revue dans mes premiers temps en France. C’est juste elle qui est un cliché de l’américaine géniale à 20 ans, mal habillée en pensant d’être élegante, la seule à savoir faire du business (côté marketing-comm les français sont super doués, voyons!), et en plus on dirait une sainte!
Mais le reste...désolée de vous dire que du point de vu de qui arrive en France, les premiers temps sont tout à fait similaires. 😹
Ah, full disclosure: j’aime ma vie en France.
Ces la vie( idk French) :(💜
@@suhani551 haha don't worry it's almost that 😂👍. Have a good day :))
I enjoyed the show, but the plot is ridiculous. This young american girl comes to Paris, and everything she does ends up working out and she is somehow the smartest person at the agency.
She magically becomes an influencer by posting boring selfies most of the time.
Every man just can't stay away from her.
Her clothing is such a disaster. I really don't understand why she is wearing random items of clothing at work, apparently she doesn't want to look professional at all. She is young, not extremely wealthy, but has lots of Chanel and doesn't repeat her outfits. She took all that clothing to Paris to only wear it once?
"She took all that clothing to Paris to only wear it once?"
Oh, so it's the last 2 episodes of Sex and the City season 6!
@@Silburific Hahaha, so true.
Carrie wore that huge dress that cost $80,000, if I remember correctly. She suddenly must have become a very good and well paid writer.
you just described a Mary Sue, emily is a mary sue, everything ends up well for her
@@magda010195 her boyfriend bought the dress for her as a gift in the episode
Mary Sue in Paris. Even the name of the show is bland
Emily is supposed to be likable to people who had never worked a job in their life. Imagine you get someone on your job one day without knowing the language and being told “she is your boss now” no. I would hate her as well
Okay I'm branching out with your videos because every single video I've seen so far is amazing and I love how you explain things. You get to the point, still funny/personable, and it's always entertaining and educational. I love finding people like you to watch !! Great stuff !!!!
Here’s the tea: Camille is a sweetheart who deserves the world and she deserves good people in her life not a horrible best friend and boyfriend who sleep with each other behind her back. Also is no one gonna talk about how Emily slept with a teen lol
Ikr I just got so annoyed at how the show made it OK for them two to be doing that behind Camille’s back
Camille best girl, we must protecc
@Harley Q To be fair that was the main relationship in Pretty Little Liars and to make it worse, he was her teacher on top of that. And that was marketed towards teens who generally seemed to think it was cute, normal and wanted their own Mr Fitz to date. It was hella creepy but the show/network it aired on never really approached it as if it was (not to me at least).
I know! It just disgust me how they need to show a girl sleeping with a lot of guys after a breakup to show empowerment or something ugh
Let's have season 2 from Camille's POV!
the whole show just is the definition of “hi, it’s a male adult created show and this is how we see young women and influencers those weird things”
love ur pfp hehe🙂

Receiving you is very soothing. Love to have your videos to watch and understand your perspective. Please keep doing this❤
I'm genuinely IMPRESSED by how easily she recognizes designer clothing
Daily studies to creat design background.
also it really rubbed me the wrong way that mindy's entire personality was that she was chinese, and ashley park is korean-american......
finally someone said it
exactly. the shoehorned token poc friend whose entire personality is their inaccurately written culture. this is not the representation i want.
@@youngneil6456 exactly what you said
Her character made no since with her background story either. And her fashion choices were those left in the early 2000s. Not anywhere near what is inspiring fashion now.
@@lealou1092 early 2000s clothes are literally a trend now
I love your videos so much and the way you rip them apart LOL. I'll be listening, giggle and say something right when you do.
I always thought Emily was supposed to be like the american who thinks baguette +red beret = french, so she could try to look like a french girl... failing miserably
Imagine if this was Emily in Berlin instead of Paris, and they butchered the culture of Berlin and then told the Germans that they have no sense of humour when they called the series out.
Instead of the berets she just randomly wears lederhosen all the time. On her first day, she's punctual because the Deutsche Bahn got her to work on time. All of the coworkers speak flawless English, except for a 25-year-old guy called Horst, who randomly speaks like Hitler. Every German word spoken on the show is aggressively yelled. The only food seen and eaten in the show is a comically burned bratwurst. On a special occasion, Emily decides that Audrey Hepburn is too cliché, so she dresses up as Angela Merkel instead.
She works as a marketing manager for the CDU and her goal is to attract young voters. It works. She has an erotic affair with Philipp Amthor, who is played by Ryan Gosling.
@@slormworm4732 No! Stop giving them ideas for Season 2! D:
@@slormworm4732 it still sounds better than Emily in Paris
@@slormworm4732 I love this but I just want to ask what you meant with the Deutsche Bahn being punctual because I use the Bahn at least once a week and they are rarely perfectly on time it’s always that the train is late or the train drives away too early and sometimes it just randomly stops on the tracks for ten minutes. It’s a whole mess
@@maruhelm9818 lol same
It was meant as a joke to show that the writers didn't bother to research enough. Like how in Emily in Paris people constantly smoke at work inside the building even though it was made illegal in like 2007 or something. Germans instantly know that "Deutsche Bahn" and "punctual" don't go together but an American audience probably won't notice or care lol
One time my train home was cancelled while I was INSIDE the moving train! They just let us out in the middle of nowhere and left. You gotta love them lol
I have to say this, Winnetka is one of the most bougie towns in Illinois. The people that live there are so rich. I went to school there. The fact that she could afford to shop at an outlet mall in Winnetka, shows that she is richer than she is letting on. Either that or the writers did no research. Just to give you an idea of what Winnetka is like, Winnetka is where the Home Alone house is located.
Ooo thanks for the details. This is interesting

Well damn

@@vladabalinsky7276 I lived in Wilmette, so I know exactly what you are talking about.
Tbh I really love you videos! I should recommend you to my friend who’s gonna be a fashion designer once they get in college. You make the fairest points in your videos and I love that! Keep it up
the only way Emily in Paris would make sense is: if she's a sims character, and she's being forced to wear the outfit she's wearing and live the life she's living; if she goes against it her creators will lock her in a 4x4 room with an oven and no door. She's constantly trying to get people to notice how little her life makes sense so they can save her.
I laughed out loud 😭
sounds like Emily's boss was just spitting facts the whole time
Another criticism for this show is about Emily lacking a compelling backstory. We know more about her friend Mindy. We learned how she wanted to go away from her controlling family and her embarassment for a failed pusuit of her dream to be a singer so she went to Paris. Emily does not have that foundation. She was just this girl who had to go to Paris for work then oh la lala bonjour je ne sais quo it's so cool yadda yadda. No wonder it is not so easy to root for her.
👏
pretty sure that's the point. similar to victorious by nick. tori (the main character) is not the protagonist. it's everyone around her.
@@PaolaTheTimeLord Emily is the protagonist. So is Tori (miss that show). But they are nit as well developed as other characters. Tori is more well done than Emily though.
@@hardcandy9880 protagonist is not the main character. you can be a main character and be the antagonist. example: walter white from breaking bad. both tori and emily are the main characters in their own shows yet they are antagonists because they are both self centered characters and destroy relationships of other people
@@PaolaTheTimeLord Hi. No, I disagree. I think you are confusing villain and hero vs antagonist and protagonist.
When you say protagonist, it means you are following the story in his or her pov. He or she is the focus of the story Regardless if he is good or bad. Just the same, the antagonist is someone who is against the protagonist, regardless if he is good or bad.
Lets have Dexter for example. He is the main character, the story revolves around him. That makes him the protagonist. Is he a hero? No. Because he is a killer. So he could be the villain, but protagonist just the same.
Also, protagonists are allowed to have flaws. You said Tori and Emily are selfish and such. That doesnt remove their protagonism, since the story is still about them. No protagonist is perfect. Almost all have flaws.
Remember:
1.) Protagonist/antagonist - determined if the story is about them
2.) Hero/villain - determined if they are good or bad
I loved this channel before this video but especially right now as I binge watch channels roasting this show that I've never seen before.
My head cannon would be that the show is all a dream from Emily getting sick and having fever dreams. That’s why her style lacks cohesion, because she can’t see it. Everyone is mean because she thinks they would be. She’s passive because otherwise she’d wake up. Paris is weird because she doesn’t know about Paris
I don’t really agree, I think her outfits make sense because she’s such a bad, internally hideous character that it just makes sense to dress her up in the worst outfits known to man
This!!
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
but theres still the question of affordability, like she can easily dress ugly with walmart clothing idk why they decided to do it with chanel and louboutin 😅
Then why is she buying designer? She isn't rich/doesn't come from a rich background, unless she is someone who really cares about labels and trends she wouldn't be decked in head to toe in Chanel.
I don’t know how she affords it , it’s probably an oversight from the producer in this .. but all I’m saying is she manages to disrespect everything and even manages to disrespect designer clothing lol
Her apartment is HUGE (by Paris standards) and location is amazing. I automatically assumed someone was paying for her to live there. There’s no way she could’ve afforded that apartment on $55k a year. A dear friend of mine, in his 50s can afford a studio in an ok location in Paris, his only home, and he WORKS. He’s a manager of a printing company.
Doesn't the company she works for pay for the apartment?
@Tekla Sulukhia in almost every (if not a good majority) movies set in france, every main character has a nice apartment near a famous monument with a breath taking view of paris, which is unrealistic af seeing the backgrounds these characters often come from.
Question, is linguini’s apartment from Ratatouille an apartment he probably wouldn’t be able to afford?
@@adeleaslan8182 no that was actually quite realistic. For the location the size and dinginess of the place was spot on
@@thekennek ok thanks
they way i can totally see YOU styling some tv show or movie characters !!!! you really would be amazing at it
I like to think Emily’s lack of style reflects on how new she is to her position? Maybe she’s just trying a bit too hard to look like she’s in the fashion industry, not just act like she is. Kind of like how hype beasts will spend tons of money on supreme and off-white, but they won’t think about matching or making actual good outfits.
Emily may have a bunch of designer items, she just lacks style and it seems like she isn’t dressing the way she truly wants to like she’s trying to impress others instead.
I see a lot of people defending the tv show, saying that this serves more as escapism. Aaah yes, tv shows about Americans making fool out of themselves, showing their usa centric butt and disrespecting the people that they visit, classic escapism.
Instead of escapism, it sounds like self indulgence
I don't see how it's escapism for Americans if it makes you embarrassed to be an American ):
@Cokolada Fano - exactly . So much over- analysis over a silly show . I thoroughly enjoyed it and the entire time accepted it as ludicrous yet diverting . I don’t require everything I ingest to be accurate , sometimes I crave a little nonsense , a little exaggeration.
Yikes dude I’m not American and wasn’t offended it’s just a show wtf
I lived in France and got used to detaching myself from other Americans. I could recognize how disrespectful she was, and how exaggerated the mean French people trope was but let people enjoy things
I sometimes got the feeling that the intent was to create “gossip girl groupie now has money and buys designer everything but can’t put together a cohesive outfit” and I feel like that would make sense for her character the individual pieces are beautiful but together it’s a hot mess!
Except for the obvious fact that she DOES NOT have enough money for all that Chanel!
That was the impression I got, as well. She seems like the sort of person who equates money with taste, and doesn't really have a sense of style of her own besides just putting a bunch of expensive items together and calling it "fashion."
You killed it!
LOVE you.
ahh this is such a good video and i agree with everything u said! especially with the suits better reflecting emily’s personality 💘

@@selinas4846 OMG what in the flying chanel bag is that.
Thank you! Can I also just say I'm so tired of people trying to say it's "just a show" or "just escapism"? Like I still want my escapism to be good or at least fun. This show wasn't over-the-top enough to be campy, and it wasn't smart enough to be satire. It was just bad and horrendously outdated in every sense of the word. The editing, acting, script, styling were atrocious, so can we stop trying to justify this poorly made piece of media?
I mean yes ur right but it was so dumb that for me it was fun to escape lol
or maybe we can let people enjoy whatever they want to enjoy? this isn't the first "poorly made piece or media" nor will it be the last
May I remind you that it’s JUST A SHOW! It’s unapologetically unrealistic and silly and not meant to be analyzed so deeply. Maybe it’s not your escapism but it defines the word for some. Idk man, this negativity is irritating
I agree and I get that people sometimes just wanna watch something fun where they can 'turn their brains off' but as someone who's into filmmaking there is SO much unnoticed talent out there and so many unique and fresh ideas and none of that gets a chance and instead a million shit netflix shows get pumped out. To me it's kinda perverse and a degradation of the film industry
Like holy shit how can fail the most basic story writing principles. How did these people get through film school it's embarrassing
love love love your videos !
this is still one of my favourite of your makeup looks!
Maybe that IS Emily's character-yknow, trying to be fashionable by wearing designer, but not actually understanding fashion concepts to have cohesive looks, often allowing herself to be overwhelmed by her influences to the point where she DOESNT make up her mind with her own style she'd copy everything down to Hepburn but like a bad knockoff. She's a character that doesnt understand herself, all she knows is the aspirational parisian life she's seen in the media and she attempts to copy it without ACTUALLY respecting Parisian lifestyle, culture, and fashion
I think this is what they were going for but it was completely undermined by not having Emily change at all to show that her point of view was wrong or show that the French’s criticism of her was not far off. Wasted opportunity.
i feel like you're giving them too much credit
That would be a great way out of this mess
Than the writers would’ve wrote that flaw into the show. Your character headcannon is never actively depicted so it can be assumed the writers weren’t ever going for that.
I think she would be called out on that if that was the case. The way she's portrayed, I guess its just another case of bad writing.
If she was a real midwest pharmaceutical rep girl, she would definitely not have that kind of a wardrobe. She’d look nice and professional, not gaudy and overwhelming.
True! American girl dress up professionally to work. This girl shocked me 😳
I appreciate the insight and effort you put into this video.
I boost the algorithm
I lack knowledge of fashion or significant context
you uploaded this on my birthday yay!
You can tell the Audrey Hepburn tribute was just because someone (probably Patricia) thought “well we have to put her in something Audrey-esque. Lily looks so much like Audrey!”
And yeah, she does. But how boring and obvious is that?
Also, I know you said you weren’t going to review the show, just the fashion. But you kinda did end up reviewing the show, and it was a good review. I would have definitely been down for a full length review from you.
Also very lazy Blair Waldorf vibes!
@@asta1405 Yes! That's exactly what it is!!!
It's legit what Moderngurlz said, give her an Audrey Biopic and get on with it. So long as it's written by an expert screenwriter she'd do well.
It was a nod to Audrey in the film Funny Face -- another instance of an American going to Paris and not accepting the fashion industry (paving her own way, talking with philosophers in cafes, etc.). But in the end Audrey has no say and lets people from a fashion magazine dress and define her... So Emily in Paris may then be a modern take on that film, however it's even more Francophobic/Americentric. Stereotypes of Paris and French men especially are used in Funny Face. But at least Audrey as a character was more relatable, and she WANTED to understand French philosophy 😂
One of the things that irked me was that every little thing she would do...would work out. It was too perfect. Like a perfect little American girl, saving the day. Idk if that makes sense
No hate. Perhaps it’s just not the type of show for me.
Yea like the fact that every guy is literally in love with her. And every random girl she bumps into is like her bestie
Haven’t seen the show. That’s just annoying.
@@chrischris7003 like that stupid Twilight girl
@@Mb-eo6bg OMG Exactlyyyyyy. The worst
I think you are absolutely right. EVERY man was so obsessed with her for no reason! ALL the campaigns were soooo perfect
She definitely lives in a fancy place its very unrealistic. Her place is in the 5eme right next to the pantheon (place de l'Estrapade). It's defnitely not a "chambre de bonne" as they say in the series. It's a proper high-end apartment particularly because of its location.

I've been binging your channel! Really happy to have found you and i enjoy your takes! :)
When Mina said Emily wore those giant Louis Vuitton heels in a city with a bunch of cobblestones my eyes bugged. That's a health hazard and a waste of time.
even worse, they're actually Louboutins, which cost upwards of $800, are typically very uncomfortable, and worn pretty much exclusively by celebrities and people who are stupid rich. there's no way her character would own those, it just does't make any sense.
And the red soles scratch so easily so she would ruin them in one day walking on cobblestones. I swear those shoes are only meant for the red carpet and the bedroom lol...
@@inspiredby624 I buy little clear stickers for mine.
I’ve also gotten a pair resolved with red rubber when I wore the red leather down.
I hate heels and I would never wear them to go somewhere. Even in my city are a lot of cobblestone streets and we‘re all wearing sneakers.
Buuut... I‘m living close to france and paris and I was there for the holidays like 8 times. Women there actually wear those shoes on the streets!! Even nearly 15 years ago. It‘s unbelievable!
So that part of emily in paris wasn‘t even THAT unrealistic
@the gays do it better I never said they don‘t
maybe the commentary is that americans dress wack lol
