Lily Collins reprises Emily in Paris role to pitch a très chic 2024 Olympics look for sprinter Noah Lyles

Everyone's favorite American in Paris warned a nervous-looking boardroom that the outfit "may not be" safe for other athletes.

Lily Collins' Emily in Paris character is stepping in to make sure that Team U.S.A.’s outfits are très magnifique ahead of the Summer 2024 Olympics.

The actress has reprised her role as Emily Cooper from the hit Netflix series in a hilarious new advertisement for the games in which her character pitches a flashy golden ensemble for professional runner Noah Lyles to a very concerned NBC boardroom. 

“Noah will be wearing legendary designer Pierre Cadault,” Emily declares in the clip, a nod to one of the fashionistas her character worked with in season 1. Behind her, a placard reveals Cadault's vision for Lyles’ look, complete with a collection of dangling chains and a shiny robe that reads “I’m the one” across its back. 

When asked if it will be safe for Lyles to compete in such a heavily chain-encrusted outfit, Emily hesitates. “Um, yes, it has been tested. It is safe,” she sheepishly replies. “Maybe not for the other runners, but we’re just talking about Noah!” Out comes the nervous laughter.

The footage then cuts to a scene of Lyles sprinting down the track and easily securing first place while his competitors struggle to free themselves from his getup's bright, billowing yellow cape.

“Vive Noah!” Emily shouts as she sprays the surprised boardroom members with champagne. “Vive Olympics!”

A bumper clip at the end of the ad reveals that the executives may have given Emily a little feedback about her flamboyant design.

"So we need to go bigger," she informs Lyles, who is already sporting the original golden look.

The sprinter, who won a bronze medal at the Tokyo Olympics in 2020, excitedly responds, "I can do bigger!"

Emily isn't the only style maven NBC has tapped to help cover this year's Olympic Games in Paris. Earlier this month, it revealed that Snoop Dogg will serve as a special correspondent for the event, providing regular reports for its prime-time broadcast, which begins on July 26.

NBCUniversal's Olympics coverage will be available on NBC and Peacock. Watch Emily pitch Lyles' new outfit in the clip above.
