Lily Collins Wore Vivienne Westwood To ‘The Devil Wears Prada: The Musical’ London Premiere

On Sunday evening, Lily Collins, currently captivating audiences in London with her play ‘Barcelona,’ made an equally captivating appearance at the premiere of Sir Elton John’s ‘The Devil Wears Prada: The Musical’ at the Dominion Theatre.

Accompanied by her husband, Charlie McDowell, Lily looked breathtaking in a Vivienne Westwood corset gown adorned with crystal embellishments. This classic style, synonymous with the late designer’s legacy, proves once again why it never goes out of fashion. The corsetry, the subtle shimmer, and the structured draping—it’s a formula that has endured for decades, and with good reason.

There’s something so refreshing about Lily’s understated approach to this look. She easily could have leaned into over-accessorizing—perhaps a statement necklace or bold earrings—but thankfully, she resisted. Her decision to keep the styling minimal allowed the gown to speak for itself.

And speak, it did. The way the crystals caught the light, the way the silhouette accentuated her frame—it all came together in a way that felt effortless. Vivienne Westwood’s designs have always been about merging drama with elegance, and Lily encapsulated that balance perfectly.
