From Celine Dion singing from the Eiffel Tower at the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games, to the first part of Emily in Paris season four, all eyes have been on the French capital for the past six months.
Emily Cooper's theatrical costumes often feel even more surreal than the show's dramatic plot twists, but for a more authentic look at Parisian style you don't need to book a flight to Charles de Gaulle.
Thanks to Instagram, you can now see in real time what some of the city's trendiest women are wearing and feel like you're getting dressed for an afternoon exploring Le Marais.
Pop culture might have us believe that French women live in a uniform of Breton pinstripes, Chanels and berets, however there is much more to Parisian style than these tired clichés. From the hundreds of accounts available, these six French content creators have been selected to teach you everything you need to know about style:

French influencer Mélodie Banfield gives us a romantic view of living in Paris, as she is often photographed on her way home with baguettes in hand or sipping a coffee 'au lait' at le Café de Flore. Rather than following the cycle of fickle trends, she adheres to a more timeless aesthetic; think of all the stunning coats, knit jackets and floral dresses.
