Emily in Paris Season 3

Emily gives herself bangs in the season three premiere of Netflix's 'Emily in Paris.' Can she throw a party for Alfie at the same time she's meeting with ...

Over at the Eiffel Tower, Emily is using the passive voice to absolve herself of all responsibility for the mess she’s made of her own life (“It all just got so complicated”). But okay!) This is all potentially quite juicy stuff for the start of the season, but given this show’s track record for letting Emily actually live with the consequences of her actions, I am not sure how hopeful to be. We aren’t with her and her bandmates enough to be all that invested in what happens to them, and nothing she’s doing has any effect on Emily or the core goings-on of the show. (Fortunately the one couple I do believe in and care for deeply — Sylvie and the sexy, young photographer — are still together, and still have the correct priorities: no work talk when it’s time to make out). Again it is hard to believe that these two people are an item given that Emily is such a bad girlfriend (never pays attention to him; is obviously hung up on someone else) but the show needs us to believe that Emily is being torn asunder in both her professional and personal lives, so here we are. Emily goes to her other job (how she explains being MIA for half the day with both her bosses is left unclear). (How exactly does it benefit Madeline for Emily to have no idea who the meetings are with and what she needs to prep for … It is best to think of the entire exercise of Emily in Paris as a sort of collective hallucination that we are all having together. Madeline’s outfit is significantly worse (bright magenta and orange, very tight), I assume because her role in this world is “terribly not-chic American,” and I know I said this last season but I am very not into the way this show treats her pregnancy as beyond comical, like practically grotesque. — though I wonder if we are to believe this sort of frenetic, scrambled ritual is not her standard practice but instead is a manifestation of her frenetic, scrambled mind. Emily goes back to the Savoir offices so we can get a full-body shot of her outfit: a fuzzy sweater in a Care Bear color palette, a metallic miniskirt, and just-over-the-knee shiny green boots. [Camille hate Emily’s guts](https://www.vulture.com/article/emily-in-paris-recap-season-2-episode-4-jules-and-em.html) and only [ pretend to be nice to her](https://www.vulture.com/article/emily-in-paris-recap-season-2-episode-5-an-englishman-in-paris.html) to neutralize her as an obstacle on Camille’s (also inexplicable) quest to regain Gabriel’s heart?

Emily and Alfie are together, then break up, then are together. Madeline and Sylvie attempt to out-business each other. Mindy turns down a job.

In my notes I write, “The second-hand embarrassment here is so powerful I may die 100 times before this episode is over.” Alfie also seems to hate it at first (“What do I have to do to get you to stop singing?”) but, for some reason, her musical persistence charms him thoroughly and erases all of the other material issues behind their breakup so they kiss and I guess are back together again. Luc tells Sylvie to stick with her guns and try to build her own thing. Sylvie has learned from her mistakes and she meets with her deputies to discuss it. Unlike Emily, Sylvie is capable of processing new information and learning from her mistakes, so this time she takes her job offer back to her deputies to deliberate. Sylvie is relieved and they all hug and dance together. Madeline, seemingly forgetting everything she has learned over the past several hours — that clients want Sylvie and her relationships; that she cannot run Savoir without Sylvie; that humbling herself is the only wise move here — is all too delighted to have the upper hand, and tells Sylvie that her offer just expired. Camille and Emily have this conversation that, sigh, is all about how they want to trust each other and be friends. As she leaves the meeting with Madeline, Emily realizes, all of a sudden, that Alfie is not her boyfriend anymore. Is it interesting and plot-generating for Sylvie and the gang to have signed contracts with strict noncompete clauses in them? She reports to Camille and Gabriel that Alfie has been in Paris this whole time and of course they both already knew! It is actually hilarious to me that he boarded a train to London, got a call from Antoine, came back to Paris, and kept it a secret from Emily. Mindy turned down the jazz-club job so she could continue to barely scrape by busking with her boyfriend and her new bandmate even though she has only been in this band for approximately a month, and she’s cut off from the Zipper King money, and presumably needs an income to keep her in over-the-knee boots and sequins.

Ultimately, Emily opted to stay with Sylvie in Paris but almost instantly, she found herself working not only for Sylvie but for her former boss Madeline (Kate ...

The fast-food chain has also launched an Emily in Paris menu, which includes the McBaguette and brownie & cranberry macaroons. The McBaguette is also baked in a stone oven to ensure a crisp crust. [tweeted](https://twitter.com/yecats_n/status/1605476318694342657): "emily in paris is so unserious...mcdonald's launching the 'mcbaguette'...eye..................." "Not the mcbaguette being real," they wrote in a second tweet. A third Emily in Paris fan wrote on Twitter: "The only thing getting me through today is #EmilyInParis and @McDonalds. Newsweek has everything you need to know. To coincide with the release of Emily in Paris Season 3, McDonald's in France has launched a competition for fans to win a Baguette "It Bag" from the show. Sadly, for audiences across the globe watching Emily in Paris, the McBaguette is only available to purchase in France. [McDonald's](https://www.newsweek.com/dog-cheering-favorite-mcdonald-worker-has-internet-sobbing-so-sweet-1768204) is looking to introduce the McBaguette to France in its restaurants and he wants Emily to head up the move. The unique storyline has audiences asking "is the McBaguette real?" Is the McBaguette real? 'Emily in Paris' Season 3: Is the McBaguette Real?

'Emily in Paris' returns for Season 3 on Netflix, and we're recapping all of the drama between Savoir and Sylvie, Alfie and Gabriel and Emily and Mindy.

As Madeline is loaded into an ambulance, Emily offers to accompany her to the hospital, but she refuses. Left with Sylvie, Emily tries to explain herself, but she’s cut off when Sylvie, with a flick of her cig, fires her yet again. We’ll have to wait to see her decision though, because she stalls and asks for more time as her bandmates walk into the party. After ending her call with Doug and strolling into the new office in Sylvie’s apartment, Emily pitches the McBaguette to the team. It’s all good news and he says he loved her, but there’s a catch: the venue only wants Mindy to perform regularly, not her bandmates, spelling trouble for Mindy after her already-rocky relationship with Benoît, who finally found out about her past as a Chinese pop star. Of course stumbles across Madeline there, and manages to royally screw up his entire visit when he gets into a ridiculous back-and-forth with her about who Emily is working for. When we return for the latest season, Emily is literally trapped between Sylvie and Madeline in a tense opening on the Eiffel Tower, where her two bosses corner her and pressure her for answers. When Emily says she’s working out the conflict, Camille is understanding, saying her family will stick with whatever firm Emily is working at, and adding, “I’m loyal to you.” Camille, you just proved that is not true! As she steels herself to tell her boss she’s quitting, Madeline pops out from behind the door, brandishing a bag of “black market Fritos” and wearing a truly outrageous orange-and-pink getup. While Emily was left with Madeline in the empty offices, Sylvie soon revealed she wanted Emily to join her new team. As the two women close in on her, Emily steps back one inch too far and goes tumbling from the tower…only to wake up in her own bed. The finale concluded with Emily calling up Sylvie and telling her that she’d made her choice, but in the Season 3 premiere, we see that decision isn’t exactly a neat, or easy, one.

It's a beautiful night on the Eiffel Tower, and Emily is being harangued by her two bosses, Madeline (Kate Walsh) and Sylvie, to the point they force her ...

They want her to be a regular at the club, but there’s a catch: they don’t what her bandmates. It turns out the women aren’t as open to the idea of Emily two-timing them. Madeline crashes Sylvie’s dinner that night at the Eiffel Tower in a set-up eerily reminiscent of Emily’s dream. Sylvie needs new clients at her firm because they don’t have as many as they thought they would, but she doesn’t think McDonald’s is the right fit. Emily’s ex-boyfriend Doug calls her seemingly out of the blue to offer her a new client: McDonald’s. It’s a beautiful night on the Eiffel Tower, and Emily is being harangued by her two bosses, Madeline (Kate Walsh) and Sylvie, to the point they force her backward off the balcony, and she plummets to her death.

Emily in Paris season 3 brings Emily and Gabriel closer together as friends, but are the pair finally getting together for a relationship?

In the end, Emily and Gabriel sit together outside and admit their feelings for each other, openly and honestly, for what feels like the first time. In the beginning of the season, Emily and Gabriel are very much in their own relationships, but their orbits inch closer and closer toward the middle of the season. Without beating around the bush, here’s the simple answer: No, Emily and Gabriel don’t get together in Emily in Paris season 3. Instead, the waiter and chef continuously mistook Emily and Gabriel for a couple. Do Emily and Gabriel ever get together — for a kiss, some heartwarming eye contact, a date, anything?! There’s no fighting that spark between the pair in Emily in Paris season 3, which drums up a decent amount of drama for the neighbors and friends.

'Emily in Paris' Season 3 Episode 2 recap: We see Emily reunite with Alfie and Madeline go head-to-head with Sylvie.

While Emily tries to make up with Alfie in the crowd, he shuts her down, but Emily is relentless. Poor Madeline is taken down another peg when Cadault spots her in the dress and delivers a rare hilarious Emily in Paris line when he tells her it’s “disgusting” that she rented the gown. Madeline, of course, hates this (“Why don’t I just stab myself in the eye?”), but Luc persuades her to try and win Sylvie back at the Cadault retrospective that night. After picking out a bouquet to apologize for that “McDisaster,” Emily heads to the office, where she and Madeline hug before getting down to business: Sylvie needs to be replaced. Emily tells Camille she needs to be honest with her if they’re going to be friends, but Camille alludes to Emily’s secret hookup with Gabriel, which would have been a fair retort if she hadn’t reconciled with him after promising Emily she wouldn’t. While shopping for flowers for her boss, Emily tells Mindy that her boyfriend is barely replying to her texts since he brushed her off at his going-away party, while Mindy reveals she turned down the club gig she was offered because she doesn’t want to break up her band.

We rounded up our favorite "Emily in Paris" outfits — from Emily's gingham bikini to her couture get-ups, there's plenty of fashion to be found in Season 3.

If you look up "tres chic" in the dictionary, it's just a photo of Camille and her collection of blazers. 2023 is about being bold, bold, and bolder as displayed by the hottest marketing-exec-turned-transplant of Paris. Emily is decked out in a multi-color argyle sweater and a metallic blue mini. The former "Dame Pipi" has never been afraid to strut her stuff while fabulously overdressed, whether it's in a Dua Lipa-style bodysuit or a nautical blazer dress. [the City of Lights](https://www.seventeen.com/celebrity/movies-tv/a34362679/where-is-emily-in-paris-filmed-netflix/). Whether it’s an Instagram Lives or some really messy love triangle shenanigans ( [Alfie](https://www.seventeen.com/celebrity/movies-tv/a34252055/netflix-emily-in-paris-cast-and-characters/) or [Gabriel](https://www.seventeen.com/celebrity/movies-tv/a34331365/who-is-gabriel-from-emily-in-paris/), who will it be?), there’s nothing that Emily doesn’t do with a dash of style and pizzaz.

"Emily in Paris" season three was filmed at various locations in France, including the Eiffel Tower, Musée des Arts Décoratifs, and Hôtel Molitor Paris.

[La Nouvelle Eve](http://www.lanouvelleeveparis.com/le-cabaret/) is one of the oldest revue theaters in Paris.

While fashion is certainly at the forefront, the [Netflix series](https://www.housebeautiful.com/lifestyle/entertainment/a41968608/wednesday-filming-locations-romania-castle/) has taken viewers to several breathtaking filming locations in France—from the [Palace of Versailles](https://www.netflix.com/tudum/articles/prance-around-paris-like-emily-with-this-season-2-location-guide) to [Le Château de Sonnay](https://www.housebeautiful.com/design-inspiration/a34338253/le-chateau-de-sonnay-french-castle-netflix-emily-in-paris/).

The cast and creator Darren Star walk us through the finale's biggest moments.

“And I even want to go as far as saying that making choices in this season is at the center of the story. “But at the same time, we grew closer to her and really, really connected with her and became allies and almost equal within that dynamic.” But in the finale, Benoît reemerges with good news: His song “Mon Soleil” was selected for the Eurovision Song Contest. “I love filming those kind of scenes because I love when there’s an emotional intensity and everybody has to be very focused and the set is very quiet; I thrive on this type of energy on set,” Bravo says. Filming that tense wedding scene “was really kind of special because I think everyone brought their absolute A-game and you don’t really get to see that side of the characters,” Lucien Laviscount, who plays Aflie, says. “One of the things he was gonna commit to was Camille and this idea of having a child with Camille,” Star explains. With Emily as the star employee in the office, he often feels overlooked and his hard work ignored. It’s always been through looks or the kind of ‘will they, or won’t they.’ And this was the first direct contact of expressing feelings in this kind of environment. Lucas Bravo, who plays the heartthrob chef, felt a deep responsibility as the one to deliver the bombshell at the very end of the season. “I think she really does like Sofia, and I think she doesn’t want to do what people expect her to do. As the dust settles, Emily and Gabriel meet outside the chapel to decompress. “Gabriel, the only reason we’re together is because I knew you were in love with Emily,” she says.

Fans of Mad Men may've heard a notable rendition of "Zou Bisou Bisou" in episode two of Emily in Paris season three. Was that really Jessica Paré singing?

'Emily in Paris' Season 3 Episode 3 recap: Emily and Madeline run into some issues at Savoir as Sylvie plots to get her old office space back.

She turns to Madeline and tells her that no, she’s not going back to Chicago, and she’s staying in Paris. The dissolution of Savoir seems to barely phase Emily, who seems way too chill for someone who is newly unemployed in a foreign city. Emily and Madeline arrive to a building where the elevator is still broken, but to make matters worse, the heat is also on in the middle of summer, the windows are sealed shut and Henri won’t answer Emily’s calls. That night, Alfie is hanging out with Gabriel at his restaurant, and the show attempts to explain Hot Chef’s notably smaller role this season when he says he’s so busy with work that he doesn’t have as much time with Camille. Emily does not take the news well, visibly wilting a bit before she turns to look out of Madeline’s window and onto the city below, which gives her a quick perk up. But, as much as Emily wants to shrug off her work duties for the day, Alfie surprisingly says they need to get up and get out, and off to the office she goes. Madeline tests it out, charmed as she transforms herself into a cat on screen, but her delight quickly fizzles when a pigeon finds its way into the office, bringing with it some Three Stooges-level antics. Out on the streets of Paris, Emily has apparently given up on fixing the elevator after calling Luc, and is instead dedicating her time to taking pictures of random dogs on the street for a new client (this seems unethical or misleading, but okay). she’s serving up at dinner and promises to treat Emily and Madeline “like pests” to force them out and get Sylvie back in. Henri is rightfully a bit skeptical, asking why Sylvie never spoke to him when they worked in the same building, but she tells him, “I was very intimidated by you.” Sylvie, intimidated? Elsewhere in Paris, Sylvie is plotting away at a dinner with Luc and Henri, her former building manager. But, this being Sylvie, she has a quick fix: force Emily and Madeline out, and regain control of the old Savoir space.

From Emily's red lip ratio to Sylvie's imperceptible faux lashes, the show's head of makeup shares her Parisian beauty secrets.

“Emily knows what she wants, and she has to make choices in her profession and her personal life, so she’s wearing bold lips,” says Payen. “It’s really a balance,” says Payen of mixing up her Parisian instincts and keeping a finger on the pulse of new products, like Face Lace decals and high-wattage eye paints. Take Philippine Leroy-Beaulieu’s breakout character, Sylvie (Emily’s boss-but-not-boss who viewers dream of starring in a spinoff), for example.

Emily loses her job at Gabriel's restaurant but finds employment with Sylvie. Camille's parents hate Emily, which makes sense. A recap and review of season ...

Emily swears to Sylvie that the pet-filter and the canned-cocktail pitches had no ulterior motive and she was only trying to help. At the gallery that night, Camille’s mom reports to her daughter that she ought to be VERY worried about how close Emily and Gabriel are in that restaurant. So she humbles herself and deigns to check Emily’s Instagram so she can track her down. There is a very heated discussion over calling 911, and it is not at all shocking to learn that Emily doesn’t know the 911-equivalent number of the country where she has been living for almost a year. But this lunch is interrupted by a table beside them ordering the Kir Royale, and Sylvie thinks the universe is giving her a sign. Camille’s mom spots Sylvie and reports that Emily is working at Gabriel’s restaurant. Anyway, Emily has a list of things to do while she focuses on LIFE, and they include “have sex in the middle of the day” (Has she not done that yet? Camille is dressing like an American girl’s idea of a parody of a French person (beret wrapped in a netted veil and also, suspenders??) to give a hot artist, Sofia, a tour of her gallery space. She ought to hire a business manager so she can focus her energies on creative! Unfortunately, Sylvie is stuck dealing with administrative bullshit instead of sleeping soundly next to her beautiful boyfriend, and to get herself out of this red tape, she texts Laurent, her hot “ex” husband. Over at Savoir, Sylvie has inherited the pet-food account, brought to her by Julien and Luc, and is using Emily’s pet filter (though she does not know its origin). Later, Camille is wearing an enormous neon-green suit jacket to discover that Emily quit her job three days prior.

Here's who Emily ends up with in "Emily in Paris" season three after her love triangle with Alfie and Gabriel.

After Mindy thanks the crowd, Emily steps up onto the stage and starts singing the words to “Alfie” in a declaration of her feelings for him. That evening, Gabriel, Camille and Emily go to watch Mindy sing in a riverside performance as part of Fête de la Musique—a Parisian celebration of the summer solstice, the longest day of the year. Episode three begins with a shot of Emily and Alfie in bed, having reinvigorated their relationship. I like him and I like him for you.” He apologizes for not telling her and they meet up for dinner to talk about their future. “What’s it all about, when you sort it out, Alfie.” Emily confesses she hasn’t heard the song but admits she deserves the silent treatment from him. In the second episode of season three, things get even messier between Madeleine, the head of Savoir, and Sylvie, who’s broken away from Savoir to start her own marketing agency. [Camille](https://stylecaster.com/beauty/camille-razat-beauty/), and Emily’s feelings for him carry through to season two. “I get it, your career means a lot to you,” he tells her. “No, you mean so much to me,” she responds. They first slept together at the end of season one, unbeknown to If you’re a Francophile/Emily in Paris obsessive, you’ll know Emily (Lily Collins) has put herself in a rather complicated love triangle at the end of season two.
