Bless the indefatigably upbeat marketing executive Emily Cooper and her relentlessly enthusiastic approach to getting dressed. 10/10 for effort and gusto, every time. But top marks for taste, and a shoo-in for series best dressed on Netflix jumbo hit ? It’s got to be Sylvie Grateau.
IRL, actor doesn’t just equal her on-screen alter-ego’s style – she betters it. The star has a flair for French glamour with a swish of levity and edge; timeless and cutting edge all at once. Just see her fondness for Saint Laurent and ferociously proportioned shoulders.
Unfairly but understandably, you might think that is off the agenda for a Parisienne. Over the weekend Leroy-Beaulieu served up a masterclass in how to do it the chic way. Appearing on the show, she wore a blue wash denim skirt suit by Schiaparelli – the same label she wore to the s season four premiere in Los Angeles.
Rather than looking lazy or like the tragique faux pas of the past, this was a precise, elegant and playful take on double denim. It's all in the details: note the exaggerated round shoulder of the jacket, the pencil skirt, the surrealist, very Schiap (as the brand’s fans are wont to call it) flourishes: a lips choker in gilded brass. The overall effect? Sexy, chic, bang on for now.
Also seen at Chanel, Victoria Beckham and Versace for AW24 – full look denim has matured. Schiaparelli is a French couture house helmed by an American – Daniel Roseberry, set to be honoured with the International Designer of the Year nod at the 2024 CFDA Fashion Awards this October – and as a bit of a reach, we might say this look is a bit of stealth diplomatic dressing. £17 £60 £52 £95 See also the combination of all-American, true blue denim and Western cowboy-inspired mules with metal toe caps, executed in a very French way (the skirt suit, the lean silhouette, the just-threw-this-on white tee and ' ').
Leroy-Beaulieu is doing her bit for international relations and looking fabulous doing it. Double impact denim is your best-of-both trend for autumn and winter, trust us..
