It has showcased almost every aspect of French culture – the stylish fashion, the romantic cafes, the delicate pastries and even the hunky men.
And now Emily in Paris has delved into politics after the first lady, Brigitte Macron, is set to make a cameo in the new episodes of the show which are released on Thursday.
Posing for a selfie alongside Lily Collins, 35, who plays the main character, Emily, in the Netflix hit and the French actress, Thalia Besson, 23, the wife of Emmanuel Macron, 46, can be seen beaming.
It has been revealed the 71-year-old is wearing her own clothing ‘with no particular instructions given to her’ by the series known for its fashion.
The former teacher opted for a double-breasted black blazer with gold buttons and paired the skirt suit with a £4,200 Dior Lady D-Joy bag.

Meanwhile, Ms Collins wore a vintage Yves Saint Laurent 1976 wool cape Tod’s Kate loafers, £780, a Delvaux Brillant Mini Teddy bag with a Marni mini skirt, £550, finishing the look off with a £495 Maison Michel wool dogtooth billy beret.
A cameo had been brewing since 2022 when Ms Collins and the programme’s creator, Darren Star, met Ms Macron at the Élysée Palace.
Ms Collins said: ‘She is a big fan of the show and took the mention of her in season one with great humour. This scene in season four is a wink and shooting with her was both an honour and a real joy.’
During series one, fans of the show saw Emily’s career take off when her social media post was shared by Brigitte.
The episode sees the marketing executive as she struggles to fit in at the company while working on a campaign for the company Vaga-Jeune.
Upon discovering that the French word for vagina, le vagin, is masculine, Emily shares her disappointment online, with the post eventually being reposted by the first lady.
Italian-French singer Carla Bruni had forwarded the meme to Brigitte, with the first lady seen sharing the post to her own feed, although viewers only see the back of her head.
The attention later sends Emily’s office into a frenzy and helps secure her position within the office.

Emily In Paris returned last month after a two-year hiatus and the first five episodes have been available since August 15.
Viewers have had to wait almost an entire month for the second installment , which is dropping onto Netflix on September 11.
The latest season had a web of complex storylines to untangle, including Camille’s (Camille Razat) shocking pregnancy announcement to Emily’s intricate love triangle involving her chef neighbour Gabriel (Lucas Bravo) and hunky Brit Alfie (Lucien Laviscount).
And Emily finally makes her choice, as she and Gabriel choose to explore their romance, and declare their love for one another during the mid-season finale.
In other relationship news, pregnant Camille and Athens-born Sofia, portrayed by Melia Kreiling, move in next door to Gabriel, but after struggling to make it work they end up going their separate ways.
The final episode ends in a shocking twist, as Camille goes to her gynaecologist for a check-up and learns the devastating truth that she was never expecting; the test was a false positive and her stress was behind her late period.
Netflix viewers have less than 24 hours to wait before they discover how Gabriel takes the news, and if his and Emily’s romance is the real deal.
