In the beginning, I was like, What is this? I’m so used to having the whole arc of the character and knowing where I’m going and blah, blah, blah. When you’re thrown in the pool and you have to swim, you just do it. It gave me some confidence that I didn’t have before. Has acting in Emily in Paris affected the way you work as an actor? But if the person is a menace to your living or to your identity or to your job - anything like that, of course you’re going to have your claws out. You don’t need to be aggressive if the person doesn’t have any strength, you know. She was reacting in a very aggressive way because she felt threatened. It’s because she saw that Emily was strong that she was also very scared of her. I think she did appreciate Emily’s quality right away, but she was also seeing the danger that she could represent to the company or to her. She always did appreciate them, but now she’s showing it a little more. I love Sylvie’s journey this season - watching her start her own agency, we see her get a little more vulnerable and show a deeper appreciation for her team.

But I’m not really interested in fashion in the sense of changing seasons - I prefer to have something beautiful that can last a lifetime. Now, when I have to dress up for photos or for the character, I like to put my own signature to the things that I wear. But then, obviously, she taught me stuff without me even noticing it.

I never wear not quality, even if it’s just a coat or a sweater. Nice stuff, because I was raised in Italy, so I like quality. In real life, I’m a blue jeans, sweater, boots person, totally.

That balance of vulnerability and tenacity is what Leroy-Beaulieu says she shares with her character, and what landed her the role in the first place when she auditioned for creator Darren Starr. ![]() Sylvie may be an entrepreneurial force to be reckoned with, but this season we also see a vulnerable side that serves to enhance her strength. While she launches her new company without an office, a single client, or even a name, there’s never a doubt that Sylvie will succeed: Savoir quickly plummets without her, and an extremely pregnant Madeline from corporate headquarters (Kate Walsh) realizes that the value of the Gilbert Group’s investment was the woman behind the agency, not the agency itself.
