Lily Collins stars as 'Emily in Paris' in new Olympic promotion
Emily in ParisEmily Cooper was supposed to be all over the 2024 Olympics, so it makes sense that NBC turned lily collins to play the character in a new Summer Games promo.
Collins, 34, portrays Emily at a pitch meeting for the summer games. “And Noah [Lyles] would wear legendary designer Pierre Caudault,” says Emily. Caudault is a fictional designer from the Netflix hit, known for his extravagant and avant-garde designs.
Emily wants to see Lyles, 26, wearing gold chains and a flowing gold cape that says “I'm the one” on the back. Of course, she sees him wearing this ensemble as he competes in the 100 meters final. (The blinding outfit was actually created by Emily in Paris costume designer Marylin Fitoussi.)
“It has been tested. It's safe – maybe not for the other runners, but you know, we're just talking about Noah,” Emily says before spraying a boardroom full of stunned executives with Champère Champagne, another nod to Emily in Paris.

It is the third spot in NBCUniversal's pitch campaign to promote the 2024 Olympic Games, which start in Paris on July 26. The first pitch can be seen Peyton Manning in which he explains how he will fly above Paris on a giant baguette hot air balloon, and the second pictured Megan Thee stallion dancing with fire-breathing horses in the Palace of Versailles.
“As we kick off an Olympic year, we are thrilled that Lily Collins, as Emily Cooper, will bring her fantastic marketing ideas to our Olympic campaign,” said Jenny Storms, CMO of Sports and Entertainment at NBCUniversal, in a statement. “Her stylish pitch fits perfectly with our strategy and will generate excitement for the upcoming Olympic Games in Paris, one of the fashion capitals of the world.”

Fans of Emily in Paris will likely get their Emily fix any way they can. It's been over a year since the season 3 finale dropped on Netflix, and season 4 should be juicy.
“It's safe to say we ended last season on a dramatic note, and surprisingly it doesn't end there,” Collins told fans at a Netflix event in June 2023. “What I can tell you is we're having more fun , more fashion , and of course, more drama is in store for you all. Emily will have to decide if everything she ever wanted is really what she needs. And while Emily's heart will always remain true to Paris, her life takes some unexpected turns this season. Don't be surprised if you find her on a Roman holiday.'
