Ashley Park from “Emily in Paris” Nearly Avoids Wardrobe Malfunction
Emily in Paris star Ashley Park narrowly escaped a significant wardrobe mishap during The Drew Barrymore Show.
On the Thursday, December 11 episode of Drew Barrymore‘s daytime talk show, Park, 34, was there to promote the forthcoming season of her popular Netflix series. Barrymore, 50, admired Park’s brown Michael Kors suit, exclaiming, “This outfit is to die for!”
The host described the ensemble as “stunning” and expressed her desire to wear something similar.
Park credited her stylist, Brad Goreski, and playfully asked, “Should we swap?”
Barrymore, dressed in a suit and tie, humorously accepted Park’s suggestion and took off her jacket. In response, Park attempted to remove hers but exclaimed, “Oh my God, it popped open!”
Fortunately, neither the studio audience nor viewers at home witnessed the incident as it unfolded. Park laughed while Barrymore joked, “By the way, my kind of show,” and adjusted Park’s jacket.
Park returns as Mindy in Emily in Paris’ fifth season, set to premiere on December 18. Earlier this month, the actress exclusively spoke to Us Weekly about Mindy’s evolving character and intriguing new relationship with Alfie (Lucien Laviscount).
“The show keeps surprising me,” Park told Us. “I had no idea what to expect for Mindy’s storylines in season 5. It feels like being part of eight different genres in just one season. What more could I ask for? So, I’m always in for surprises.”
She further added: “I’ve stopped having any expectations. But when we go to Venice for two weeks to film, it truly feels surreal. They always keep us on our toes.”
Recently, Netflix released a trailer and new images showcasing Emily (Lily Collins) starting a new chapter in Rome alongside Marcello (Eugenio Franceschini), while Gabriel (Lucas Bravo) remains in Paris. As for Mindy, a steamy scene with Lucien captured fans’ attention, leaving them curious about what lies ahead for the previously platonic pair.
“What’s fascinating is that this feels unexpected, yet Lucien is one of my closest friends on the show,” Park disclosed. “We always joked about how much we enjoy each other’s company, but never had scenes together. This year really added to the fun.”
Last month, Us also spoke with Park at the Netflix House Philadelphia VIP Housewarming Party, where she expressed her amazement at how far the show — and its cast — has come since its debut in October 2020.
“Lily and I were just discussing this the other day,” she mentioned. “We’ve known each other for nearly five years, and it’s fascinating to step back into the shoes of a character just days later when you’ve personally evolved over six months to a year [between seasons].”
Park noted that Emily in Paris “has completely transformed my life in terms of the opportunities and discussions I get to engage in. Thanks to Netflix’s global reach, I’m able to connect with people from all over the world. I feel very thankful.”
