Your Emily in Paris Character, Based on Your Zodiac

Unless you’ve quite literally been living under a rock for the past four years, you know very well that the Netflix series Emily In Paris has received all sorts of buzz ever since it first premiered in 2020. Some people deem it endearingly binge-worthy, while others argue it’s a cheesy abomination to Parisians everywhere. Whatever side of Lily Collins history you fall on, there’s no denying that it’s definitely kept us all talking and coming back for more—mainly because of the show’s larger-than-life characters we know, love, or hate-watch.

So, of course, it’s only right to get a little more familiar with these characters before tuning in to the long-awaited Season 4, and what’s a better basis for the job than your trusty zodiac sign? After some deep consideration and Season 1, 2, and 3 studying, the results are in. Here’s which Emily In Paris character you are, according to how the stars align:

Aries

Mindy Chen

The words that come to mind when I think of Mindy Chen are confident, bold, and ready for a good time. Funnily enough, these also happen to be some of the most admirable Aries traits. Making the brave decision to leave her family in China and create a life for herself in Paris, Mindy’s determined to be a strong, independent woman who keeps a positive outlook no matter how trying times can get. In true Aries style, she just keeps on keepin’ on and has fun doing it. 

Taurus

Gabriel

Tauruses are infamous for enjoying the finer things in life, and Gabriel does just that. Dabbling in all sorts of bougie French cuisine and wines, he’s rocking with some Michelin-star taste—just as a Taurus should. But don’t mistake this as being artificial or materialistic, as the Taurus stereotype goes. They’re also known to be very grounded and down to Earth, which Gabriel clearly displays by helping Emily live in the moment and find her independence. He is a true rock to the people around him. A 10/10 chef and a ride or die? You win, Tauruses. 

Gemini

Camille

It’s a tale as old as time: Geminis are stereotypically two-faced. Personally, I would argue that Camille is a perfect candidate to debunk the allegations, being a prime example of adaptability and approachability instead of the assumed “fakeness.” She sticks to her own moral compass and never loses her sense of self, while also being inherently kind to the people around her. Plus, her outgoing attitude and 10/10 style totally align with a Gemini’s tendency to be the social butterfly of any friend group. Thank you, Camille, for being the Emily in Paris character who brings a little justice to the Gemini name. 

Cancer

Alfie

Alfie may seem sarcastic and aloof, but underneath that strong exterior is just a big ol’ softie. This is a textbook Cancer characteristic, as they’re known for being sensitive and compassionate while maintaining a tough exterior that prevents them from getting hurt. Once Emily finally breaks through his walls, Alfie’s sensitivity and true character is apparent. Also, Cancers are known to be homebodies who highly value their loved ones, and Alfie never fails to mention that he’d much rather live back in the U.K. with his family than in Paris. So, that further confirms Alfie as the designated Cancer character.

Leo

Antoine Lambert

Just like your typical Leo, Antoine Lambert is very much in love with himself. But don’t mistake it for narcissism—his persona just exudes confidence, often drawing others to his presence. While this can still come off as superficiality at times, a Leo’s commitment to loyalty and generosity will always pull through to show their true character. Antoine’s interest in Emily’s American ideals throughout Emily in Paris—and his investments in Gabriel’s restaurant—is undeniable Leo behavior, and we are absolutely here for it.

Virgo

Emily Cooper

When first compiling this zodiac roundup, my most obvious and clear choice was that Emily, without a doubt, gives the strongest Virgo energy. She is incredibly meticulous and organized and has a clear vision for the life that she’s chasing after. While these are traits to admire, Emily’s obsession with reaching perfection ends up hurting others along the way—unfortunately, on multiple occasions. Even if they can get in their own way from time to time, Virgos genuinely just want to help and be there for those around them, and Emily’s Parisian coworkers grow to appreciate her more and more for it.

Libra

Luc

While the main traits of a Libra usually surround the ideas of romance, money, and art, Luc actually exemplifies some of the lesser-known (but equally as lovable) qualities they possess. Libras deeply care about balance and harmony in all of their relationships and put in a genuine effort to consider others’ perspectives while also making sure their own are just as clear. His relationship with Emily displays this honesty perfectly. Luc makes it clear that he has respect and kindness for her, but he also holds her accountable for her own actions. The friend we all need, truly.

Scorpio

Sylvie

Sylvie is nothing short of a textbook Scorpio. Her intense passion to pursue anything and everything she wants is undeniable, but this can also lead to her holding grudges towards people she thinks are getting in her way—even when they really aren’t (*cough* Emily *cough*). While you could call it being a “workaholic,” Sylvie just holds herself to the standard she knows she’s worth. Scorpios know at heart that nobody’s perfect, and Sylvie is figuring out along the way that she doesn’t need to bring down others in order to achieve everything she wants in life.

Sagittarius

Benoît

Even though Benoît is a less prominent character in the show, his traits that do shine through absolutely scream Sagittarius. He’s a happy, go-with-the-flow, free spirit with tons of passion for what he feels are his life callings (in his case, it’s music and, well, Mindy). In total Sagittarius fashion, Benoît is always hanging out and having fun with friends or total strangers, making street-performing his match-made-in-heaven type of gig. He’s a roamer and a dreamer, just like every Sagittarius friend we all know and love.

Capricorn

Madeline Wheeler

As the show’s resident girl boss, Madeline effortlessly displays all of the major Capricorn traits: ambition, drive, and always speaking their mind. From continuing to work through a far-along pregnancy to not letting Parisian judgment phase her sense of style, she doesn’t let anyone knock her off balance in true Capricorn fashion. Even though she’s all about her hustle, Madeline, like many other Caps, still has a great sense of humor and always comes through as a good friend when needed. 

Aquarius

Julien

Intelligence and natural creativity are some of the most notable Aquarius traits, both of which Julien absolutely shines at. He’s a star at his marketing job, knowing that aesthetic is just as important as the more technical bits (he used to steal Vogue magazines to gawk at as a child, so it adds up). His smart, quirky wit shines through in his relationship with Emily as honest and true frenemies, which is a telltale sign that you’re dealing with an Aquarius—someone who maintains a balance between rebelliousness and kindness all in the same breath.

Pisces

Pierre Cadault

This famous French fashion designer is just as emotional as he is tough, which describes a Pisces in a nutshell. He cares very deeply for his career, and despite his professional exterior in the world of European fashion, he always allows his more genuine emotions to float to the surface eventually, making him one of the most endearing characters on the show. A Pisces feels, cares, and understands others very deeply, and Pierre brings that energy to Emily in Paris in a special way.
