Yesterday evening, in the heart of Copenhagen, Netflix and Vogue Scandinavia feted the forthcoming season of Emily in Paris, complete with honorary Dane Lily Collins and her crew of local pals

Emily Cooper might call Paris home, but Emily in Paris star Lily Collins is partial to Copenhagen, which made Copenhagen Fashion Week the perfect setting for a celebration of the hit show’s upcoming fourth season. Hosted by Vogue Scandinavia and Netflix, last night’s Emily in ParisIn Copenhagen dinner welcomed guests to dine smack dab in the centre of the city in August Bournonvilles Passage (the first and last time the space will be granted for a dinner party, we’re told), beneath the stunning mosaic by artist Ejnar Nielsen. The street was transformed into a Parisian paradise, with blooming flowers, a selection of the forthcoming season’s most iconic looks, and a long, elegant table, at the centre of which sat Emily herself, Lily Collins.

The intimate evening kicked off with a live-streamed Q+A with Collins (hosted by me, in fact), after which guests settled in for a delicious three-course meal, appropriately tinged in pink. Netflix superstar couple Edvin Ryding and Felicia Maxime held court on one end whilst another It couple, Lucas Lynggaard Tønnesen and Laura Lynggaard Normann sat at the other. In the centre, Collins was joined by husband Charlie McDowell and a crew of their Danish friends, including designer Stine Goya and photographer Petra Kleis, who met Collins whilst shooting her for her Vogue Scandinavia digital cover.

After dinner, guests hit the dance floor to enjoy vinyl tunes. C’est magnifique.
