On Sunday evening, the glitterati headed to the premiere of Sir Elton John’s The Devil Wears Prada: The Musical, which was held at London’s Dominion Theatre, including the stunning Lily Collins, who looked magnificent.

The 35-year-old actress wowed onlookers alongside her husband, Charlie McDowell, wearing a beautiful,jewel-encrusted corset dress by Vivienne Westwood, which featured a sassy, thigh-high split. We also spied her rarely-seen back tattoo, too.

We couldn't help but think that the Emily in Paris star looked like a debutante in her sparkling gown. It was the perfect dress to wear to a formal occasion and make a statement.

Speaking of debutante's, Lily famously was one in 2007 alongside King Charles's distant relative, Lady Tatiana Mountbatten, and jewellery designer and heiress, Tansy Aspinall.

Lily, who is the daughter of legendary singer Phil Collins, wore a haute couture dress adorned with feathers and embellishments by Chanel Haute Couture, which featured a fashion-forward satin bow belt and an asymmetric hemline.

 During her time as a debutante, Lily was escorted by cavalier Richard Dennen, who is now editor of Tatler magazine. In 2019, Lily recalled the special night in Paris and shared throwback photos from the ball: "#TBT debutante baby! All dressed up for the Crillon Ball with @richarddennen and ready to dance into the weekend..."
