“No particular instructions [were] given to her”, according to the magazine. Netflix confirmed Macron’s appearance in the series, which has become known for its characters’ fashion.
“The idea of the cameo came to us when [series creator] Darren Star and I met [Macron] at [her and her husband Emmanuel’s official residence] Elysee Palace in December 2022,” the show’s star, Lily Collins, says.
“She is a big fan of the show and took the mention of her in season 1 with great humour. This scene in season 4 is a wink, and shooting with her was both an honour and a real joy.”
