Palais Garnier
In the story · S1E6
Paris's 19th-century opera house. Emily comes here for a ballet night with Thomas, a professor she met at Café de Flore and has been dating; when he sneers at the show she walks away from him and, on the grand staircase, ends up talking with the fashion designer Pierre Cadault.

The look of the scene
S1E6 · For the ballet night, Emily wears an off-the-shoulder Christian Siriano dress with sheer panels: the costume designer Patricia Field calls it a homage to Audrey Hepburn in Funny Face.
