Fabulous fits! Lily James’ keen fashion sense is just as extraordinary as her acting skills.

From her role as Lady Rose MacClare on Downton Abbey to playing Pamela Anderson in Pam & Tommy, the U.K. native knows how to slay on the big screen and red carpet. The Cinderella star has since graced our screens in films including Baby Driver, Yesterday, Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again, Rebecca and more.

Her red carpet looks consist of feminine frocks, trendy two-pieces and chic separates that make a statement. In January 2023, The Rare Beasts actress became the new face of Charlotte Tilbury.

The beauty enthusiast gushed about the gig to Vanity Fair in January 2023, sharing: “This opportunity to be one of her muses and work with Charlotte has been so exciting and inspiring.”

In addition to providing Us with glam inspiration, the Little Woods star has served up major hair moments. “I just cut all my hair off, although I want to go shorter and shorter,” James said, adding that she’s “contemplating cutting [bangs]!” She continued, “I think life’s too short. You’ve just got to own your own body.”

James arrived at the 2023 Golden Globes with a chic lob. Her shoulder length locks were parted down the side and in a voluminous blowout. The brunette beauty’s tresses were completed with a glamorous flip.

The Exception actress sported a fiery Versace gown made from 50 meters of fabric and finished with sexy cutouts and extravagant ruffles. James styled her hair in a stunning blow out by her hairstylist, Halley Brisker. Her makeup was soft and included gelled brows, subtle eyeshadow, winged eyeliner and a pink pout.

James also stunned in a Versace dress at the 2022 Met Gala. The one-shoulder piece featured a cutout on side and a thigh-high slit. The beaded number draped over her arm, and she accessorized with dark eyeshadow and sparkly earrings to complete the look.

She also tapped the Italian fashion house for the 2022 Oscars. James looked fierce on the red carpet in a sheer black mini dress with floral details and beaded seams. For even more drama, the Fast Girls actress tied a train around her waist and donned a diamond choker and earrings.
