Netflix's Emily in Paris [1] is back on 22 Dec. for a second season and, after watching the first 10 seconds of the trailer, you can rest assured we're in for a treat (or, at least, lots of drama). Emily Cooper (played by Lily Collins) is retuning to the small screen with her lavish outfits [2] and aspirational eyebrows [3], and accompanied by her new best friends Mindy (Ashley Park) and Camille (Camille Razat). With Emily becoming a bit more acclimated to her "second home," [4] as she called it in an interview with POPSUGAR, Odile Fourquin [5], the show's hair and makeup supervisor, said we can expect to see a slightly different, more elevated look for Emily [6] — as well as the rest of the cast.
Emily is finally getting more comfortable in France: she's made nice with her boss, Sylvie, she's found herself a steamy new love interest (albeit controversial), and she's honed her Parisian look. You're going to see a lot more French influence in Emily's hair and makeup in season two. "We get inspiration for all the cast from a lot of supports: magazines, fashion shows, and a lot from Instagram," Fourquin said. For Emily specifically, they also pulled inspiration from Old Hollywood actresses Audrey Hepburn and Brigitte Bardot.
Instead of the fresh-faced, pink/mauve lip combo that Emily repeatedly rocked when she first arrived in Paris, she's "leaning into Parisian beauty trends" like red lipstick, black eyeliner, and even a pop colours on the eyes. But that's not the extent of the hair and makeup we can expect in season two — we're in for a few surprises. "[Look out for] diamonds on Emily's hair for the Versailles fashion show," which takes place at the end of the season, said Fourquin. Mindy also has a drag queen hair and makeup look in store for us, and Camille pulled out all the stops for her birthday party. (We'll give you a hint: blue eyeshadow is involved).
