Like her role on Netflix’s Emily in Paris season 3, Lily Collins is a style icon who doesn’t shy away from daring looks, from Saint Laurent’s 1920s-inspired sequinned dress to Valentino’s sheer gown

But she stunned most of all in a Ralph Lauren form-fitting dress with a floor-length lace cape – that served as her veil – at her wedding to Charlie McDowell

Lily Collins is back on our screens in Emily in Paris season three on Netflix, and if there is one thing that’s more exciting that its cringey storylines, it’s the fabulous fashion. But did you know the actress is something of a red carpet assassin herself, famous for her off-screen style too?

Collins has pushed the sartorial envelope over the years, donning daring outfits at fashion weeks and other glamorous events across the globe … here are 15 of our favourites.

1. A sleek, floor-length gown with a plunging neckline

At the 15th annual Costume Designers Guild Awards in February 2013, the actor’s gown, designed by Paule Ka, featured an oversized, white bow in the back, which was so large it was visible from the front, too.

2. Rocking a crop top and skirt

At The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones premiere later in August, her look included a high-neck cropped tank top from Paper London and a mid-rise skirt designed by Halston Heritage that draped all the way to the floor. She accessorised with an oversized gold chain necklace and a gold bracelet.

3. An all-white, cut away ensemble

While on the same press tour for The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones, she also chose an all-white ensemble. Collins rocked a calf-length, one-shouldered Cushnie Et Ochs dress that featured two cut-outs: one along her chest and the other exposing her torso. She wore matching white, pointed-toe pumps.
