25 Emily In Paris Quotes For Your European Vacation Instagram Captions
Emily Cooper writes Instagram captions for a living — who else would you turn to?
Everyone may have been laughing at Emily Cooper (Lily Collins) when all we could do was stay inside and watch Netflix’s Emily In Paris in 2020, but nearly three years later, she just might be a trendsetter. Viewers have gone from living vicariously through Emily In Paris to going to Paris themselves or embarking on their own European vacation in a chic locale of their choosing. And when it’s time to post about the trip, who do they turn to? None other than Emily Cooper of course.
Emily literally writes Instagram captions for a living (and puts together major advertising campaigns, but that’s beside the point), making her most memorable one-liners and hashtags an easy starting point for your own Instagram captions — even if you’re using them ironically. However, she also has expat friends and French co-workers who have a better wit and sense of humor than herself, including Mindy (Ashley Park), Luc (Bruno Gouery), Julien (Samuel Arnold), and her fabulous boss Sylvie (Philippine Leroy-Beaulieu), who shouldn’t be overlooked for Instagram inspiration.
If you need some help crafting the right words to reflect your European getaway, no matter how it went, look no further. Here are 25 Emily In Paris quotes, organized by who said them, that could make the perfect Instagram caption, whether you lived out Emily’s Parisian fairytale or want to take a more realistic approach.
