Emily in Paris
Streaming series about expat life
Emily in Paris is a Netflix romantic comedy series about a young American marketing executive who moves to Paris for work.
The show became cultural shorthand for a certain kind of glossy, aspirational content—beautiful locations, enviable fashion, and plots critics find shallow or implausible.
Someone living an Emily in Paris lifestyle enjoys photogenic experiences without apparent struggle.
The phrase can be dismissive: Her Instagram is very Emily in Paris.
