Thalia Besson returns to 'Emily in Paris' as filming begins on Season 5

Express Tribune4 days ago

Production is officially underway on Season 5 of Emily in Paris, and one familiar face is making a comeback. Thalia Besson, who stirred up trouble as Geneviève in the previous season, is set to reprise her role in the upcoming installment of the Netflix hit, according to Variety.
Besson, daughter of acclaimed French filmmaker Luc Besson, plays Geneviève - a sleek, cunning NYU graduate who shook things up at Agence Grateau last season. Introduced as Emily's mentee, Geneviève quickly revealed ulterior motives by pursuing her mentor's clients and even making a move on Emily's boyfriend, Gabriel.
Her return places her alongside returning cast members including Philippine Leroy-Beaulieu as Sylvie, Samuel Arnold as Julien, Bruno Gouery as Luc, William Abadie as Antoine, and Ashley Park as Mindy. Also back are Emily's love interests - Lucas Bravo's Gabriel, Lucien Laviscount's Alfie, and Eugenio Franceschini as Marcello, the Italian businessman introduced in Season 4.
Filming for the new season began last month in Rome, with the cast now continuing in Paris. The plot picks up just days after the Season 4 finale, which ended on a cliffhanger as Gabriel turned up unannounced at Emily's new apartment in Rome, determined to win her back.
Season 5 will follow Emily as she adjusts to life in the Italian capital, where she's tasked with launching Agence Grateau's new branch while exploring a fresh romance with Marcello. But with Geneviève back in the picture and known for stirring the pot the stage is set for even more drama, jealousy, and couture-fueled chaos.

Wardrobe mishap occurs during Bezos and Sánchez wedding celebration in Venice

Vittoria Ceretti experienced a fashion mishap at Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez's lavish wedding celebration in Venice on June 28, 2025. The Italian model wore a Dolce and Gabbana gown, originally from the fall–winter 2003/04 collection, to the event's themed party. In a series of Instagram Stories, Ceretti revealed that the dress suffered a tear during the evening. She shared lighthearted captions showing the before-and-after of the gown, writing 'how it started' over an elegant photo and 'how it's going' above a picture of the expanding rip. -Instagram The same dress was previously worn by Gisele Bündchen at the 2003 Met Gala. Some observers speculated that alterations to the archival piece, combined with the evening's festivities, may have contributed to the malfunction. Leonardo DiCaprio, Ceretti's partner, attended the celebration as well, keeping a low profile in a dark suit and baseball cap. The Venice-based event drew many high-profile guests and also sparked some public protest over overtourism.

Bradley Cooper and Gigi Hadid step out in Paris during Fashion Week after going Instagram official

Bradley Cooper and Gigi Hadid appeared relaxed and content as they interacted with fans following a private dinner in Paris on Saturday evening. The Hollywood couple, currently in the French capital for Fashion Week, paused for photos and exchanged smiles as they returned from their night out. Hadid wore a light blue pinstriped halter-style top paired with light denim jeans. Her hair was neatly slicked back, sunglasses perched on her head. Cooper opted for loose grey trousers and a light denim shirt with espadrilles, complementing Hadid's outfit. Photo: Backgrid The couple, who began dating in 2023, have largely kept their relationship out of the public eye. However, Hadid recently confirmed the romance by sharing a birthday photo on Instagram last month, where she was pictured kissing Cooper beside her birthday cake. Hadid later spoke to Vogue in March, offering insight into her relationship. She said that being with Cooper gave her a 'normal experience of dating,' noting that he had reintroduced her to the theatre. Cooper was also seen attending the Louis Vuitton Men's Spring 2026 show earlier in the week.

Elin Hilderbrand discusses screen adaptations at Nantucket panel

At the Nantucket Film Festival on June 29, 2025, bestselling author Elin Hilderbrand took part in a panel exploring how bestselling novels are being adapted for the screen. She was joined by showrunners Jenna Lamia of The Perfect Couple and Bekah Brunstetter of The Five-Star Weekend to share insights into her growing slate of TV projects. Hilderbrand confirmed that The Five-Star Weekend is currently in development as a limited series for Peacock, with Brunstetter attached as showrunner. The story centers on themes of friendship, grief, and self-discovery, and will bring a different emotional tone from some of her previous adaptations. She also revealed that her holiday-themed novel Winter Street is being considered for future adaptation, though no production timeline or network has been confirmed. While The Perfect Couple, her Netflix limited series, was discussed during the panel, Hilderbrand did not share any new details about a continuation. As of now, Netflix has not confirmed plans for a second season. Throughout the panel, Hilderbrand emphasized her desire to maintain the unique Nantucket atmosphere in each adaptation, even as each story explores its own characters and tone.
