Emily in Paris star Lily Collins is bringing her iconic character, Emily Cooper, back in a new NBC promotional ad for the upcoming 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris.

According to PEOPLE report, the ad features Collins pitching a creative marketing idea for a special uniform designed for U.S. Olympic sprinter Noah Lyles.

In the fictional scenario, Lyles, recognized as the "fastest man in the world," ends up donning an extravagant gold armored outfit created by the fictional designer Pierre Caudault from the Netflix series.

The twist comes when Lyles mistakenly drapes his competitors with a lengthy gold cape during a race.

The ad captures a blend of humor and excitement, combining elements from the fictional world of Emily in Paris with the anticipation of the real-life Paris Olympics.
