Lily is no stranger to a glorious style moment. While attending the Emmy Awards, Lily channelled a classic type of divinity with a look that had an unmistakably celestial quality to it.
Styled once again by Rebecca Corbin-Murray, Lily stepped out on the red carpet at the 74th annual ceremony wearing an incredible gown created by Versace. Her look, which looked as though it could have been crafted from molten bronze, boasted an exquisite silhouette. Her gown had a distinct fluidity about it – almost looking as though it had been sprayed on her body.
