Move over, Emily Cooper—there’s a new star in Paris, and her name is Simone Biles.

Netflix just dropped the dates for episodes three and four of the docuseries Simone Biles: Rising, and who better to make the announcement than the Olympic legend herself?

In a playful twist, Simone Biles, 27, recreated iconic lines from Netflix’s hit show Emily in Paris, giving us major “Emily vibes” with a Parisian backdrop that’s nothing short of magnifique.

In a video shared across Netflix’s social media, the Olympian channels her inner Emily, starting with a cheeky sip of her drink against the stunning Eiffel Tower.

"And ever since I moved to Paris, my life has been chaotic and dramatic and complicated," she says, perfectly capturing the essence of both shows. Then, in true Biles fashion, she turns up the sass in another clip, slipping on some chic sunglasses and quipping, "Without basic b—-es like me, you wouldn’t be fashionable." Honestly, we’re living for it.

But the fun doesn’t stop there. In her final nod to Emily in Paris, Biles flashes a plate full of crepes, declaring, "I'm not somebody who can share a crepe. I need the whole crepe."

"Watch your beret, Emily. SIMONE BILES RISING: PART TWO is coming October 25 on Netflix," the streaming giant teased in the caption, sending fans into a frenzy.

Biles reposted the video, asking, "Did I make Emily proud?"

The first two episodes of Simone Biles: Rising dropped on July 17, giving viewers an inside look at the superstar gymnast’s life as she navigated her personal world,mental health journey and rigorous training—all leading up to her much-anticipated return at the 2024 Paris Olympics.

Part two of this captivating documentary is set to stream on October 25. According to Netflix, this next chapter will follow Biles as she secures her spot on the U.S. Olympic Team during the 2024 Trials, then heads to Paris. From there, viewers will witness her continuing journey as she cements her legacy as the most decorated gymnast in history.
