Following her press tour in New York, Lily Collins reunited with her Emily in Paris co-stars Philippine Leroy-Beaulieu and Ashley Park – this time in Venice. It was here that the actresses officially launched the promotional campaign for the fifth season, a particularly fitting choice given that, in the upcoming episodes, Emily finds herself at the very heart of the «City of Water».

The occasion was an elegant cocktail reception, where each of the stars showcased a meticulously curated and impeccably styled ensemble.

Lily Collins opted for a lace dress, completing the look with pointed-toe pumps.

Philippine Leroy-Beaulieu appeared in a long-sleeved grey top paired with a striking, layered midi skirt featuring a snake print. A wide black belt accentuated her waist, while pointed mesh heels provided the finishing touch.

Ashley Park, meanwhile, embraced drama: her black satin blazer dress with a deep V-neckline was adorned with feathers, lending the look movement and a richly textured, expressive quality.

The actresses were also spotted at a photocall in Venice, where they looked equally captivating before heading to Paris for the premiere.

Venice has been covered with flyers and posters from local activists protesting the upcoming wedding of billionaire Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez.

After the Venice city hall confirmed that the famous couple would be getting married in the «city of water», a group of activists led by local teacher Marta Sottoriva launched a campaign called «No space for Bezos».

According to The Guardian, residents oppose turning Venice into a playground for billionaires and celebrities. The wedding is expected to host over 200 guests, including big names like Leonardo DiCaprio, Oprah Winfrey, Kim Kardashian, Ivanka Trump, and others.

Despite the fact that the billionaire’s event could bring nearly 10 million euros into the city’s budget, protesters are putting up posters in popular tourist spots, handing out leaflets to passersby, and giving speeches in public squares.

«There is a lot of anger in the air, because the council has once again bowed to the logic of profit – our city has been sold to the highest bidder. Every time such an event takes place, Venice freezes: some areas become inaccessible, and the number of tourists surges», activist Sottoriva told the newspaper.

The campaign continues to grow – activists have even hung a banner reading «No to Bezos» on the façade of the San Giorgio Basilica, where Bezos and Sánchez plan to hold their wedding ceremony.
