Leroy-Beaulieu plays fashionable PR executive Sylvie Grateau, the tough boss of the show’s protagonist Emily Cooper (Lily Collins)

Philippine Leroy-Beaulieu isn’t going shopping in her Emily in Paris wardrobe any time soon.

While speaking with PEOPLE ahead of the Netflix series’ fourth season premiere, the actress, 61, revealed why she wasn’t a big fan of her character Sylvie Grateau’s fashion choices.

While it gives her the confidence and the extra oomf to full embody the stylish PR executive, Leory-Beaulieu admitted, “When I’m wearing her stuff, I’m wearing stuff that I would never wear in real life.”

“It has to do with being a bit too tight in a skirt, the heels being too high and having a hard time with those things, which I think is the hardship that Sylvie has in her life or in her clothes too,” she explained. “Meaning that they translate that.”

The French actress went on to reveal that she never takes “anything from the show” nor her character once the season wraps.

“I would never wear it in real life,” she continued. “Not only because I don’t dress like that, but also because it’s a character and you want to keep it a character.”

On May 3, Lily Collins and the cast of Emily in Paris announced that season 4 of the hit Netflix series will be premiering in two parts. The first five episodes will arrive on Thursday, Aug. 15, followed by the second half on Sept. 12.

The fourth installment of the series will pick up after the “dramatic events of Camille (Camille Razat) and Gabriel (Lucas Bravo)’s misbegotten wedding,” according to an official synopsis.

“Emily (Collins) is reeling: She has strong feelings for two men, but now Gabriel’s expecting a baby with his ex, and Alfie (Lucien Laviscount)’s worst fears about her and Gabriel have been confirmed. At work, Sylvie is forced to confront a thorny dilemma from her past for the sake of her marriage, and the Agence Grateau team navigates personnel shakeups,” the synopsis reads.

Mindy (Ashley Park), meanwhile, is preparing for Eurovision with her band, “but when funds run dry, they’re forced to get thrifty.”

Season 4 also sees Emily and Gabriel begin to work together on his restaurant in the hopes of earning it a “Michelin star,” and their “chemistry is undeniable.” However, “two big secrets threaten to undo everything they’ve dreamed of.”

Season 4 of Emily in Paris will debut in two parts, with the first coming on Thursday, Aug. 15 and the second on Thursday, Sept. 12.
