Lily Collins recently appeared on “The View” to discuss her return in the hit series *Emily in Paris* and share some personal insights about her life, career, and the upcoming developments in her show. The conversation opened with a clip from the show, showcasing her character Emily’s signature charm as she navigates a potential vacation, leading to a humorous misunderstanding about whether Emily is heading to Rome or Krakow.

As the interview began, Collins was warmly welcomed by the hosts, and the conversation quickly turned to her experiences traveling, particularly her time spent in Paris while filming the show. Sara Haines asked about Collins’ travel habits and what kind of traveler she considers herself. Collins revealed that while she loves to wander and explore cities with her husband and dog, she is also an organized and slightly anxious traveler, packing her bags a week in advance to ensure she has everything she needs. Her husband’s approach to packing, she noted humorously, is the exact opposite, as he tends to pack just minutes before leaving, which she finds impressive and baffling.

The conversation shifted when Alyssa Farah Griffin brought up an earlier career moment for Collins, reminding the audience that Collins had once aspired to be a journalist and had covered Nickelodeon’s “Kids Pick the President” at the age of 19. Reflecting on her younger self, Collins smiled at a throwback picture of her casting her first vote in 2008. This opened up a discussion on the importance of voting, especially with National Voter Registration Day around the corner. Collins, who has spent significant time living abroad, emphasized how vital it is for everyone, including those overseas, to exercise their right to vote. She expressed pride in supporting Kamala Harris and spoke about the importance of using one’s voice for good, especially when it comes to advocating for human rights, women’s rights, and LGBTQ+ rights. Her enthusiasm for civic engagement reflected her deep belief in the power of individual voices and the significance of voting, no matter where one is based.

Ana Navarro, another co-host, commended Collins for speaking up about social and political issues, noting that celebrities often face criticism for sharing their opinions. Collins admitted that growing up, she had feared saying the wrong thing but realized that as long as she spoke her truth, it was important to use her platform to champion causes she cared about. This confidence, she added, had been a personal journey, and she emphasized the value of standing by what one believes is right.

The conversation then returned to *Emily in Paris*, with Navarro and the rest of the panel expressing their excitement for the second half of the show’s fourth season. Fans had eagerly binge-watched the new episodes over the weekend, and Collins gave them something even more exciting to look forward to by announcing that the show had been renewed for a fifth season. She hinted that season five would feature more scenes in Italy, which thrilled the panel, particularly Navarro, who looked forward to seeing the Italian settings on screen.

As both the star and a producer on the show, Collins shared her excitement about the upcoming episodes. She revealed that while Emily’s story will continue to unfold with new romances and drama, she is equally excited for the development of the other characters. She praised the collaborative nature of the show and expressed her pride in seeing her fellow cast members’ storylines evolve. She made it clear that the show’s success isn’t just about her character, but about the entire ensemble cast.

Sunny Hostin, another co-host, playfully admitted that she hadn’t finished watching all of the new episodes because she wanted to savor them, prompting Alyssa Farah Griffin to jokingly promise not to reveal any spoilers. Hostin then shifted the conversation to one of her personal interests: fashion. She complimented Collins on the incredible wardrobe featured in the series, which has become one of the show’s trademarks. Collins revealed that she shares Hostin’s passion for fashion and discussed the fun she has with the show’s costumes. One memorable outfit, a ball gown designed by her friend Harris Reed, sparked a humorous conversation about the logistics of wearing such elaborate attire. When asked how she manages to go to the bathroom in some of the more extravagant outfits, Collins laughed and confessed that it can be quite the challenge, admitting that sometimes it’s simply not possible without a lot of effort.

Another interesting revelation came when the hosts asked about the real-life romance between Collins’ co-stars Ashley Park and Paul Forman, who play a couple on the show. Collins, with a playful smile, said that anyone who had spent time with the two actors could see their chemistry. She shared that she and her husband, Charlie McDowell, often go on double dates with Park and Forman, and expressed her happiness for her friends’ blossoming romance. Collins spoke fondly of her close friendship with Park, saying that one of the most rewarding aspects of working on the show has been finding a “sister” in her co-star.

Collins’ appearance on *The View* highlighted her growth as an actress, her dedication to important social issues, and her passion for both her craft and the people she works with.
