Lily Collins and Sergio Perez unexpectedly crossed paths at the Monaco Grand Prix as Emily in Paris turned the iconic Formula 1 weekend into its latest filming location. The actress was spotted shooting scenes for the sixth and final season of Netflix's hit series on June 4, bringing Emily Cooper's glamorous world to the heart of motorsport's most prestigious event. And with Monaco becoming the newest stop in Emily's European adventure, fans are already eager to see how Formula 1 fits into the show's farewell chapter.

But was this simply a celebrity crossover moment, or could the Monaco Grand Prix play a major role in Emily Cooper's final adventure?

As production continues on the sixth and final season of Emily in Paris, Lily Collins was spotted filming at the Monaco Grand Prix on June 4, bringing the Netflix hit straight into the heart of Formula 1's most prestigious race weekend. The Monaco shoot also delivered an unexpected crossover moment as Formula 1 driver Sergio Perez joined Collins on set. Between takes, the pair were seen snapping selfies together, instantly sending fans into a frenzy. 

Dressed in a striking yellow blazer and matching shorts, Collins filmed several scenes around Monaco while cameras captured Emily Cooper's latest European adventure. The appearance marks another major location for the show's farewell season, which is expected to unfold across both Monaco and Mykonos. The latest filming update arrives just weeks after production officially began on the final season, with Collins previously spotted in Mykonos alongside co-stars Ashley Park, Lucas Bravo, Paul Forman, Philippine Leroy-Beaulieu, and Minnie Driver while filming what appeared to be a lavish party sequence.

While Monaco may be Emily Cooper's latest glamorous stop, Lily Collins' journey with the Netflix phenomenon extends far beyond the screen.

Since Emily in Paris debuted in 2020, Lily Collins has done far more than simply play Emily Cooper. Alongside starring as the ambitious Chicago marketing executive, Collins also serves as a producer on the series and has helped shape its creative direction. Interestingly, while Emily often struggles with French, Collins speaks the language comfortably after studying it in school. The show also changed her life off-screen, as she met her husband, director Charlie McDowell, in Paris during Season 1 filming. Today, her central role reportedly earns her between $300,000 and $400,000 per episode.

Emily's colourful wardrobe has become just as iconic as the character herself. Designed by Marylin Fitoussi, the fashion deliberately embraces a bold American style while drawing inspiration from European legends such as Audrey Hepburn, Grace Kelly, and Brigitte Bardot. Over the seasons, Emily's look has evolved into something more polished and confident, reflecting her growth abroad. Now, with Netflix confirming Season 6 as the show's final chapter, production has expanded beyond Paris to destinations including Rome, Mykonos, and Monaco as Emily Cooper prepares for one last adventure.

With Monaco, Formula 1, and one unexpected Sergio Perez crossover, Emily in Paris is clearly saving some of its biggest moments for the final lap.
