Lily-Rose celebrated the premiere of the HBO series by donning a little black dress by Chanel – and we are utterly obsessed. The 23-year-old wore a strapless fitted sequin piece featuring a lace-trimmed neckline, a black bow at the waist and a teal 3D flower corsage.

Three's far from a crowd where Helena, Christy and Lily-Rose are concerned…
