• This is the last film by cinematographer Harris Savides, who passed away in October 2012, six months after principal photography wrapped. When he fell ill during filming, Chris Bovel was brought on board to complete the movie.
• This is the first film starring Emma Watson that is not based on a book.
• The film is based on Nancy Jo Sales' article in Vanity Fair titled "The Suspects Wore Louboutins".
• Emma Watson's wallet was stolen during filming.
• Emma Watson said that in preparation for her role, she watched "a ton of reality TV," including "The Hills" (2006-2010) and "Keeping Up with the Kardashians" (2007). She also listened to Britney Spears' album "Femme Fatale" to better understand her character's mindset.
• Before filming, the cast, at the direction of Sofia Coppola, staged a mock burglary so the director could observe the mistakes they would make.
• The scene that takes place in Paris Hilton’s house was actually filmed there.
• Claire Julien is the only native of Los Angeles in the cast. She helped the other actors learn the Calabasas dialect.
• This is the third Sofia Coppola film to feature pole dancing.
• Sofia Coppola had lunch several times with real convicted burglar Nick Frank Prugo, who served as the basis for the character of Mark. Prugo and his gang stole over $3 million worth of goods from celebrity homes.
• Around 01:20:00, Nikki addresses her younger sister Emily, calling her "Gabby." The names of all members of the robbery gang were changed, but Gabby Neiers is a real person on whom the character of Emily was based.
• When Rebecca is holding the dog in Paris's house, she is wearing a white shirt. In the next scene in the yard, she is wearing a black and brown striped shirt. While walking down the road, she is wearing a white shirt again.
