Lucien Laviscount praises Lily Collins for balancing motherhood with Emily in Paris filming
It's all action - and a bit of fizz - on the Emily in Paris set as Lucien Laviscount gives us the inside scoop on what it's really like filming the hit Netflix show with new mum Lily Collins. Now in its fourth season, the cast are currently shooting in Rome before heading back to Paris - but according to Lucien, the real star of the show is Lily, who's juggling motherhood with her leading-lady duties like a total pro. 'She's doing everything,' he tells us. 'She's got a newborn, she's doing it all — and she's doing it with such grace… I'm gonna use the word 'paza'. I've never used the word paza in my life, but she's got that.' Lily welcomed her first child, Tove Jane McDowell, on January 31, 2025, via surrogacy with her husband, Charlie McDowell, sharing the good news on Instagram at the time.

'It's so bizarre… life's been going on for everyone, but it only feels like a couple of weeks,' he says. 'We're getting the scripts through, it's like, 'Oh sh*t, this is crazy.' It's going off!' He also had us laughing talking about his Schweppes campaign — a cheeky nod to his Caribbean roots and growing up with ginger beer at his grandma's. 'Schweppes was like the fancy stuff we bring out at Christmas,' he shared, adding with a grin, 'It was like a perfect little match, to be honest.' Filming continues over the summer with plenty of drama ahead - both on screen and off - and Laviscount promises this season is one to watch. 'Everyone's really excited about what's to come,' he says. 'It's all there to play for, really.' Fizzing with energy, we say! After months away from filming Emily In Paris, Lily's return to set was always going to be a welcoming affair. But Netflix star brought the entire set to a standstill as she returned to work with her four month old daughter in tow. Back in January, Lily and Charlie welcomed their daughter via surrogate. Sharing her happy news with her 29 million followers, Lily posted: "Welcome to the center [sic] of our world Tove Jane McDowell. Words will never express our endless gratitude for our incredible surrogate and everyone who helped us along the way. We love you to the moon and back again…" Unfortunately, both Lily and Charlie were criticised by a few people on social media for using the aid of a surrogate to fulfil their dreams of becoming parents, as they claimed they had bought the privilege. While others likened surrogacy to "human trafficking." This forced Charlie to publicly address the comments and labelled the comments as "unkind." He wrote: "It's OK to not know why someone might need a surrogate to have a child. It's OK to not know the motivations of a surrogate regardless of what you assume." A month after the birth, Lily took to Instagram once again to share with fans how Valentines Day took on a new meaning for her now that she was a mother. On February 14, she wrote: "I truly can't imagine feeling more love. Valentine's Day (and every day) just got a whole lot sweeter.' Lucien Laviscount is Schweppes' brand ambassador - starring in two short films, featuring its new purple Tropical Soda, to inspire more of those special social moments with loved ones this summer.

Lily Collins looks as chic as ever in a fitted midi dress as she films scenes for fifth season of Emily in Paris
Lily Collins looked as chic as ever as she filmed scenes for fifth season of Emily in Paris in the French capital on Wednesday. The actress, 36, who plays marketing executive Emily Cooper, was spotted strolling through town in a fitted midi dress. She teamed the floral number with a pair of chunky black heels and accessorised with quirky angular sunglasses. Lily was joined on set by a man who carried a tan leather briefcase with the pair seen walking down the street. The upcoming series will see Emily juggle her potential new life in Rome and her past life in Paris. Emily was left with a decision at the end of series four, as she was offered the position of the lead of the Italian Agence Grateau office. Despite falling in love with Paris and the agency, Emily admitted she was tempted by a new life - with a new man - in Rome. Fans will remember Emily and Gabriel's (Lucas Bravo) romance fell apart after they finally tried to make a go of their relationship after he broke off his relationship with Camille. Following a fake pregnancy scandal, Camille revealed she wasn't actually expecting and Emily and Gabriel tried to work out a romantic future. However, it wasn't meant to be for the star-crossed lovers who were unable to work out their differences and she was pushed into the arms of Marcello, after they met on the slopes of Megève, when she was abandoned at the top of a slope by Gabriel. They crossed paths again at a polo match in Paris and they enjoyed a night out together in the city, which lasted until the following morning when he asked her to come and visit him in Rome. Emily followed her heart and travelled to meet Marcello, where she was also tasked with acquiring his family's business by her boss Sylvie. However, Emily was reluctant to mix business with pleasure. The pair hit a stumbling block when he learned of her plans to try and secure a professional relationship with his family, who owned a luxury cashmere company, but they eventually managed to iron their issues out. At this point, Gabriel had a candid conversation with Alfie (Lucien Laviscount), who urged him to try and win Emily back, despite previously being romantically involved with her himself. Lily was joined on set by a man who carried a tan leather briefcase with the pair seen walking down the street But despite dashing to Rome with the hope of reuniting, Emily was nowhere to be seen as she enjoyed her romantic day out with Marcello. Speaking about the upcoming series, Lucas said: 'I think Gabriel realized that he doesn't want to let Emily go so easily, and he might have made a big mistake. 'They certainly had a big fight and a cooling-off period. But I think he realized that by the end of the season, that there's something that he doesn't want to let Emily go. 'I don't know what that means. Doesn't necessarily mean they're going to be together instantly or ever. I don't know, but I think he feels there's unfinished business with the two of them.' However, there is hope for the couple as according to creator Darren Star, the season is not fully moving to Rome. He told Deadline: 'She didn't change her Instagram handle to Emily in Rome. She is working in Rome sometimes. Sylvie's company has an office in Rome. 'Emily's getting that on its feet. I don't necessarily think that it means a permanent — in my mind, it's definitely not a permanent — move to Rome. We're not leaving Paris.' The series is expected to air towards the end of this year, but one of the main characters has revealed they won't be returning. Camille Razat, 31, who plays Camille in the romantic comedy-drama - took to Instagram to reveal the shocking news with an emotional goodbye post after fans fumed at bosses for 'destroying the character'. Camille has played Emily's pal and love rival in the show since the programme hit the streaming service back in 2020. Now, after five years on our screens as Camille, the actress is ready to move on. Sharing various snaps from her time on the show, she wrote: 'After an incredible journey, I've made the decision to step away from Emily in Paris. 'It has been a truly wonderful experience, one filled with growth, creativity, and unforgettable memories. 'I'm deeply grateful to @starmandarren and the entire team at @netflix and @paramountpics for their trust and for giving me the opportunity to bring Camille to life and leaving the door open for her return, as she will always be a part of Emily In Paris world. 'This character has meant a lot to me, and I feel that her storyline has naturally come to an end. It felt like the right moment to explore new horizons.' She added: 'I've recently wrapped two series: Nero for Netflix and the Lost Station Girls for Disney+. I'm also excited to share that I've launched my own production company, @tazar_production. 'We mainly produce music videos and short films for now, but we're currently developing our first feature film, something I'm truly passionate about and excited to grow. 'I leave the show with nothing but love and admiration for the cast, crew, and fans who have supported us along the way. Thank you for the beautiful ride.' Her fans and co-stars rushed to the comments section to share their support. Lily said: 'Love you sister. It's been a wild ride and an absolute pleasure. You're a rockstar. So proud of you.' Philippine Beaulieu added: 'You'll be so missed ma chérie Frenchie!!!' Lucien wrote: 'From day one you've been my rider on this show. Your passion for story telling, your dark sense of humour, your unwavering ability to stay true to yourself, when everything's pushing you in a different direction. 'You're special Camille and I feel absolutely honoured to of been able to dance with you these past seasons. Keep on shining. 'I'm going to miss laughing with you. I'm cheering you on in everything you do.' Emily In Paris premiered on Netflix in October 2020. The synopsis on the streaming service reads: 'New passions. New fashions. New Emily? 'A plucky American marketing whiz spreads her wings in life and love after landing her dream job in Paris.' The show, created by Star, has had 40 episodes run over four seasons. It stars the likes of Lily, Philippine, Ashley Park, Lucas, Samuel Arnold, Bruno Gouery, William Abadie and Lucien.

Lily Collins thinks Charlie McDowell was "born to be a dad". The 36-year-old actress took to social media on Father's Day (15.06.25) to heap praise on her husband, thanking Charlie for "taking the best care" of their daughter Tove. The brunette beauty - who announced in January that they'd welcomed a baby girl via surrogacy - wrote on Instagram: "Happy first Father's Day @charliemcdowell. Tove is the luckiest little girl in the world to be yours. Seeing you with her is the most beautiful thing. You certainly were born to be a dad and you continue to amaze me every single day with the countless ways you protect and nurture her, make her laugh, and shower her with adoration. Thank you for taking the best care of our little T and of course big brother @redforddog. What would we do without you? We love you so so SO much… (sic)" Lily recently revealed that she "couldn't be more grateful" to be a mother. The actress took to Instagram in May to celebrate her first Mother's Day. Alongside a photo of Lily cradling her baby girl, the Emily in Paris star wrote: "My first Mother's Day. No words can describe this new journey, this new life. I love you with all of my heart Tove, with all of the parts of it that have grown deeper since the day you were born and all of those I never even knew existed. You have expanded my world, broadened my horizons, and widened my smile more than I knew was possible. And to think, it's only the beginning. I couldn't be more grateful or honored to be your mum… (sic)" Lily - who is the daughter of music star Phil Collins - announced the arrival of her baby girl via an Instagram post earlier this year. The Hollywood star - who has been married to Charlie since 2021 - wrote at the time: "Welcome to the center of our world Tove Jane McDowell. Words will never express our endless gratitude for our incredible surrogate and everyone who helped us along the way. We love you to the moon and back again… (sic)"

Achieve Salon-Quality Brows at Home With These Eyebrow Tint Kits
It took me longer than I'd like to admit to realize that perfect brows don't require daily filling. That changed when I discovered the magic of eyebrow tint kits— an easy, at-home way to shape and define my brows while reclaiming precious minutes in the morning. No longer did I have to excuse my hurried handiwork with the mantra: eyebrows are sisters, not twins. Now, I wake up with arches that are ready for the day before I am. Before putting something semi-permanent on my face, I made sure to choose a style that complemented my features. That's why I took the time to master styling with eyebrow pencils before trying my first tint kit. Now that I'm more confident, I'm even considering getting it done professionally for special occasions—but I still love the convenience of doing it at home. 'Tinted brow gels are a really great way to experiment,' says Rebecca Hoffman, founder of Bespoke Brows NYC and proud eyebrow enthusiast. 'If you've been using a colored brow gel, and you're getting frustrated with the fact that it lasts for 12 hours versus three to four weeks, then tinting at home is a nice way to dip your toe in without overcommitting.' When it comes to inspiration for your brow-tinting journey, you might look to Lily Collins's iconic brows or Hailey Bieber's soft, wispy style. Your face is your canvas, and the right brow shape should enhance—not copy—some else's. 'It seems that our consumers aren't leaning heavy into trends at the moment but are more so asking us, based off of the eyebrows that they were born with and their structure, what works best for them,' explains Hoffman. 'It's not quite about fitting into a certain shape, but it's been emphasizing the natural shape as best as possible.' Skip the men's beard dye and treat yourself to a proper brow tint that will leave you waking up flawless. Keep reading to uncover the best eyebrow tinting kits that bring salon-quality results straight to your home. This tint is perfect for anyone serious about at-home eyebrow tinting, as it lasts impressively long on both the skin and brow hairs. Plus, Brow Code offers an entire playlist of tutorial videos covering everything from prep work to aftercare. Brow Code rating: 4.8/5 stars A Brow Code reviewer says: 'Brow tint kit is very easy to use and makes my sparse brows look fuller without the need for filling them in every day. Much less expensive than going to a salon for a tint every two weeks and can be done in the privacy of your own home on your own time.' We're all familiar with Wonderskin's ultra-viral lip stain, but now it's time to explore their game-changing eyebrow stain. Designed to be buildable, this Wonderskin eyebrow stain allows you to gradually darken your brows, avoid dreaded brow-blindness while achieving your perfect look. Amazon rating: 3.6/5 stars An Amazon reviewer says: 'I loved this product! I've tried other brow tints before, but none of them lasted as well as this one from Wonderskin. It's super easy to apply and the result looks really natural (I used the Dark Brunette shade and it matched my hair/skin tone perfectly). What impressed me the most was the staying power — it truly doesn't transfer or smudge throughout the day, even in the heat. I wake up with my brows looking done! Totally worth it. Already planning to get another one so I don't run out.' Believe it or not, you can actually add hair to your eyebrows. Benefit's Gimme Brow+ is packed with tiny microfibers that give your brows a beautifully volumized finish. If you're not ready for a permanent brow tint but want to experiment with added volume, this gel is a must-buy. Sephora rating: 4.4/5 stars A Benefit Cosmetics reviewer says: 'As a natural blonde who doesn't always have time to dye my brows, this is the best brow product I have found! Even when I have dyed my brows, I still use it as it provides fullness to my sparse brows as well as holding them in place ALL day. My brows look beautifully groomed with this baby!' This product applies like a brow gel but gradually works to semi-permanently tint your eyebrows over time. If you're in it for the long haul, try this hydrating, growth-promoting, and gradually darkening brow tint. Thrive Cosmetics rating: 4.4/5 stars A Thrive Cosmetics reviewer says: 'I've tried several brow gels and this one is very promising. It goes on easily, doesn't clump like others—and we all know when THAT happens, you just have to start again. Who has time for that? The coverage is great and it really does last. Now, I normally wash off ALL my makeup at night, but I put this to the test. The semi permanent coverage is true. Lasted through the night and into the next day. Beautiful! What a win.' This peel-off brow gel offers a moderate-lasting tint—not quite weeks-long color, but definitely longer than a single day— making it ideal for intermediate brow tinters. I especially love the peel-off feature, as it allows you to craft the perfect arch without worrying about smudging. Plus, it peels off in one satisfying piece! Amazon rating: 3.4/5 stars An Amazon reviewer says: ' have naturally thin, sparse brows and was looking for something to save me time in my morning makeup routine. This stuff is one of the coolest things I've bought all year! I applied it where I could see my faded microblading and let it set while I make the kids breakfast and pickup around the house. By the time I get ready my brows are set and look great! The color is true to the photos and mine lasted 2-3 days.' Here's an eyebrow tint that not only colors the hairs but also creates a faux shape on the skin, a henna tint is the perfect solution. This kit offers an impressive 30 applications, so you have several opportunities to touch up your brows with just one package. Amazon rating: 3.9/5 stars An Amazon reviewer says: 'Oh my gosh, this eyebrow tint is truly amazing! I can't believe how easy and effective it is. You only need to leave it on for about 15 minutes to see a significant difference. If you want a deeper tint, just apply it a second time–for me, that was more than enough!' If you're aiming to darken the natural color of your eyebrow hairs, a light application of this hair tinting kit by Refectocil could be a great option. While it's not specifically designed for eyebrows, reviewers rave about its ability to deliver long-lasting color without irritation. Amazon rating: 3.9/5 stars An Amazon reviewer says: 'I absolutely love this lash and brow tint. I first use this product when I lived in Germany so I was happy to see it available on Amazon. The color is gorgeous and really makes my lashes stand out, giving them a fuller, darker look that lasts. The application is easy and doesn't irritate my eyes. I always put a little Vaseline under my eyes to prevent any dye from getting on my skin.' If you're looking for a quick and budget-friendly brow tint, give this drugstore favorite by Ardell a try. It's incredibly user-friendly, thanks to the included mixing tools and spoolie. Plus, it delivers long-lasting color that stays vibrant for up to two weeks. An Amazon reviewer says: 'Love this eyebrow dye! Works really well, super easy to use. Comes with a little reusable bowl to mix product. Comes with 4 capsules. I have blonde eyebrows; almost invisible and it's really amazing to be able to dye them at home whenever I want vs going to the salon. Inexpensive but great quality.' Want the definition of microblading without the commitment? The Revlon ColorStay Brow Pen features a precise fine-tip brush, making it easy to draw individual hairs for a natural finish. Amazon rating: 4.3/5 stars An Amazon reviewer says: 'This is 100 percent my go-to for long lasting eyebrows. It literally stays on for days, even when wet. I apply it in light strokes/lines to match my eyebrow hairs, then use my own soft eyebrow brush immediately after I apply a few strokes to soften and blend the liner into my skin.' If you're looking for a sharp, high-contrast brow that develops in no time, the aptly named Instant Eyebrow Color by Godefroy is the perfect kit for you. Trusted by reviewers across the internet, this brand's eyebrow tinting products are celebrated for their consistent, reliable color results. An Amazon reviewer says: 'My hair color is naturally super dark brown. I picked the medium brown color based on other reviews and I can guarantee that the medium brown looks best. It can come out dark and rich without being overwhelming, especially if you're lighter-complexioned. The tint lasts around the stated time (4 weeks). I actually halved the time stated for leaving it on and was satisfied with how it came out.' Like any beauty ritual, brow tinting starts with prep. Hoffman recommends patch testing your kit of choice the day before application. 'A day before you're thinking of fully tinting your brows, oxidize the tint and put a little bit of it behind your earlobe or maybe, somewhere along your neck, just to see if in the immediate you might have a reaction,' she explains. When it comes to application, working slow and tidily can ensure that you get your desired results and minimize mistakes. 'When you're applying the color, obviously, you want to work as neatly as you can,' Hoffman says. 'If the packaging tells you it should be on for 10 minutes, cut that in half if not less, and check it. You can always put it back on in general. It is so much easier to reapply tint and build that color than it is to scrub it out.' The frequency with which you need to tint your eyebrows varies depending on the product you're using, so you should defer to the product instructions. 'If you're using an at home product, there should be recommendations for that on the packaging that you use,' says Hoffman. 'In general an estimate is every three to four weeks, but that's product dependent.' Hoffman explains that there are generally two different types of dyes used to tint brows, and each provides different benefits based on what look you're going for. 'There are two generally two different types of tints, and each one will provide different service results. You can do a henna tint, which is more long lasting, and it will also stain your skin. It's a little bit more of an extreme look, but it's great for people who don't have hair and really need the dye to stick to the skin in order to create the shape of a brow.' Most classic brow tints are vegetable-based dyes. These formulas will only stain the hair, 'which is great for achieving a much more natural look,' Hoffman continues. 'In general, tinting will kind of only color match what you have for a denser, fuller look, or it will make your brow hair go darker.' When searching for a tint, keep an eye out for products that have been tested and are meant to be used on the eyebrow. 'Some things that you do want to look for is the brand ophthalmologist tested or is this product specifically made for brows and lashes?' In terms of avoiding certain ingredients, Hoffman suggests steering clear of known irritants. 'Some of those ingredients that you want to avoid are called PPDs (Phenylenediamines),' she explains. 'They're known to be like kind of harsh. Usually, they tend to contain allergens in it.' Hoffman also recommends avoiding products with synthetic fragrances, ammonia, or parabens. If you're not exactly sure how to shape and style your brows or what sort of look you're going for, that's a great time to visit a salon, like Bespoke Brows NYC. The studio only accepts walk-ins, so you can stop by for a consultation any time. 'Don't be scared to come in and ask questions. This is your face. We're here to serve you, and you don't have to feel like you know what you want when you come in,' says Hoffman. 'The consultation should always be a conversation to make sure that you understand your options and we're both on the same page with the results that you want to get.' If you do decide to visit a studio in the hopes of achieving a specific look, Hoffman suggests bringing an inspiration photo. 'When in doubt, it never hurts to bring in a reference photo to any type of salon if you feel like you don't quite have the language to explain what you're going for.'
