- Hi.
- [Drew] I love everything that you do and I have to say
that I've had the pleasure and privilege
of seeing you around.
You are one of the nicest, most elegant, kind,
wonderful energy.
How did you sort of know in the world
to be this person who exudes and conveys
kindness and goodness?
- I mean, my mom really, you know,
instilled incredible morals in me when I was younger
and I, I don't know.
I'm just so grateful for every opportunity that I get
and I'm just innately like a happy, optimistic person,
I guess.
- I remember when your book came out
and I was so excited because, you know,
I think you having this open heart
and sharing your experiences, your path, your journey
with other people, I mean let's get real,
you have 18 million followers on Instagram.
When I see that I'm like,
oh, I feel like they're in such a safe place with you.
- Thank you.
I honestly feel so lucky to have this incredible community
that has surrounded me on social media,
especially Instagram that is so empowering,
not just to me, but to one another.
They've created this like pen pal ship around the world
where they support one another
through things they're going through and insecurities
and I was inspired to write my book
because of young people around the world
sharing their stories next to their photos.
It's like, I'm just like you,
we've all gone through those things
and whether it's relationships with your parents, yourself,
bad romantic relationships
things like, you know, body image issues, eating disorders,
things that I know so many people can relate to
that may not necessarily think I can because of, you know,
the common conception of, of Hollywood and the job
and the, the, the, the physical aesthetic of the industry
and all that.
It's like, no, actually
I can probably relate to those things way more
than you think that I can
and it's, it's ultimately so freeing to talk about,
because I feel like I can just like shed that layer,
you know?
I, at least that's what I found.
It was a gift for me to connect with others
about those things.
- You know, you grew up in, you know, music royalty
and I grew up, you know, with a last name
even though my family was gone for a very long time
at the point when, you know,
in the early eighties when I came on the scene,
but there can be a perception of what her,
what are your experiences
and then I think what ends up happening is
in the best of circumstances
that sort of bubble that may seem like
rather extraordinary and un-relatable
maybe just makes you grow up a little faster,
makes you open up a little quicker,
it kind of makes you get down to business and reality.
- Yeah.
- In a strange way.
- Yeah, I totally agree and it's, it,
it gave me such a drive to want to feel
like I deserved to be where I am.
Like, I, you know, there's like a saying where it says
personality can open doors, character keeps them open.
It's like for a certain amount of time, you know,
a last name could be something that's interesting.
But at the end of the day,
you've got to bring something to the table
and yeah, I maybe had to grow up a little bit quicker
but I was also exposed to the pros and cons at an early age
and I still chose it for me.
- Well, you're a person of such substance,
such beauty and such talent
and I'm so excited about this new project.
Emily in Paris, are you kidding me?
Darren Star, who is behind Sex In The City
and you're even working with
legendary costume designer, Patricia Field, who did.
- [Lily] I mean.
- [Drew] That is like, you know,
I think Sarah Jessica Parker
has a great sense of style and we all admired her style
but I feel like it was the collaboration
between her and Patricia Field that catapulted it.
But what we all loved about it so much as you know, voyeurs
was it's walking art,
so I cannot wait to see your collaboration with her.
- Thank you.
It's, she's one, I mean, Patricia is just an absolute icon
as you know, and she helped bring out so much of Emily
through her clothes and in turn,
I learned so much about myself through fashion
because I think every outfit
brings out a new point of your personality, right?
And so to be bright and bold and a little bit obvious
and sassy and all those things,
it just like made the experience so extra special.
- I am so glad that these 19 million people out there
in the world are following someone like you
because I just, when I see a lot of people in one place,
I'm always happy that it's with someone who is a safe,
safe, healthy, happy person like yourself
and that said, I know reels are all the rage now
and I was wondering.
- All the rage.
- Would you do a reels with me?
- I'd be so honored.
Yes, I would, oh my God, please.
- I totally just turned into the biggest nerd ever.
I, I just it's, unfortunately I can't shed that nerd at 45.
She's still there alive and well.
- Never shed it, never.
- Hashtag, never shed the nerd.
- Never.
- Okay I think, should we do it about beauty?
- Well, I mean, yes I'd love to.
- You know, what I always say to my daughters?
Where is it important to be pretty?
And they'll go, the inside, and I'm like, yes.
- Oh my God, oh my God.
You're like the best mom, you're like mom goals.
- [Drew] Okay, you're going to ask me some beauty questions
and I'll answer as quickly as I can
because you know, it's a reel.
- It's a reel and we have to do it real, real fast, okay.
- Real, real fast.
- Okay, so how do you perfect dewy skin
without looking too shiny?
- Celestial Skin Supernova from Flower Beauty,
or even any moisturizer, just boom, boom boom.
- Amazing.
Okay, how do you perfect a red lip
without messing it up over and over and over again?
- You can always add a little lip balm and liner
and blotting.
- [Lily] Hm, yes.
How do you perfect a winged eyeliner?
- Um, I like to like lift the eye
and keep it really straight and stretched out
and then let it spring back.
- Oh my God, I do that too.
How do you avoid caky makeup?
- Definitely throw, even if it's misted water from a sink
that you put in your hands, or a little moisturizer,
don't add more like add dewy-ness, not more makeup
and then spot treat.
- Spot treat is the key.
I'm so all about that.
Okay, last one.
How do you brighten your tired eyes?
- Oh, sleep.
(laughter)
- That's a really good one.
I feel like everyone could do with more of that.
Oh my God, I love these.
- [Drew] Oh, I love you.
Emily In Paris season one is on Netflix now
and she's co-hosting the Gala for the Go Campaign
on October 24th and by the way, excuse me,
I didn't mean to bury the lead.
Congratulations on your engagement.
(applause)
- I have a fiance.
It's so weird.
- [Drew] En Fiance.
Is he lovely and kind and good?
- [Lily] Yes, yes, I'm, I'm the luckiest.
I'm so grateful and I just,
I truly feel like the happiest I've ever been,
so I, I'm very, very lucky.
- [Drew] Thank you Lily.
I can't wait to see you so soon.
