Sarah Paulson Talks Kim Kardashian & Ami Paris Show Amid Paris Storm

REIGN ON HIS PARADE: Alexandre Mattiussi couldn’t have asked for a more dramatic backdrop for his Wednesday night Ami Paris show without calling in special effects or Sora.

As guests gathered around the statue of King Louis XIV in the Place des Victoires, ominous clouds rolled in. Among those keeping an eye on the sky was Sarah Paulson, who pointed out the looming storm while snapping selfies and waiting for the show to begin.

Paulson is taking some travel time before the release of her next project, “All’s Fair,” a new series from longtime collaborator Ryan Murphy. The show boasts a powerhouse cast, including Naomi Watts, Glenn Close, Niecy Nash, Teyana Taylor and Kim Kardashian.

“She gives us all a run for her money,” said the Emmy winner of Kardashian. “She’s really fun and really game. So warm, welcoming, friendly and funny.”

Paulson praised Kardashian’s acting. “She’s got absolute instincts, skills and chops. I don’t know how you couldn’t, given what she’s been doing her whole life,” she said.

Paulson said the pair also shared on-set chemistry. “We had a real laughing problem. The two of us ruined several takes from giggling. It was a really funny, sweet, unexpected thing that happened.”

While the first trailer has dropped, Paulson hasn’t seen the finished product yet. “He said he would show me a little something,” she said of Murphy, who likes an element of surprise. “He offered, but then didn’t deliver.”

The series is slated for a November release.

In Paris, Paulson was enjoying some downtime accompanied by her mother. The two spent the day sightseeing — and sweating.

“It’s sweltering,” she joked, though the heat didn’t stop her from stepping out in a menswear-inspired suit-and-tie look she described as “a beautiful hybrid of wearable fancies.”

Having recently walked her first runway for Miu Miu last March, Paulson was happy to be in the audience this time. “I know now what happens back there, and it is nutty,” she said. “I’m just so excited to be an observer. There’s nothing for me to do except be a voyeur. I love sitting down and getting to see the magic happen.”

Longtime friend of the house Catherine Deneuve arrived just as the show began, seated near Korean actor and brand ambassador Choi Woo-shik and Thai singer Bright.

As the first looks emerged, raindrops fell, then lightning cracked crisply across the sky. The show and storm built to a dramatic crescendo with the clouds opening to Biblical buckets just as guests ran for the exit.
