InStyle has released an interview featuring Lily, where she speaks about her new film Mank, celebrating her engagement at home, and what she thinks Emily Cooper would be doing in quarantine. You can read the interview and watch Lily answer some fan e-mail below, plus check our gallery for outtakes from the photo session!

This story, like many set in the never-ending stress dream that is 2020, begins with technical difficulties.

“I should be better at this point,” Lily Collins tells me when we finally manage to connect over Zoom. “I still find myself floundering,” she says, referring to the mechanics of our new normal: virtual interviews and FaceTime photoshoots, a once foreign vernacular that includes ring light settings and meeting room codes.

Despite the admitted at-home learning curve, Collins’s comfort with communication (of any form) is clear. Appearing on-screen in a pale pink sweater with shoulder cut-outs, her long brown hair parted down the middle and flowing unreservedly across her chest (the way the YouTube tutorial tells you it should — but it never does), she seems at-ease, eager even.

It feels like a clapperboard has been slammed shut, “action!” called on the first take of the day. Collins’s energy is high and her answers profuse — words spilling out in a race against the 60-minute clock that is our conversation. Of course, this isn’t the first take of the day — minutes before our interview Collins was finishing up another, and just hours later she was playing a game of faux tennis on her mother’s court for our photoshoot. Then came the virtual premiere of her new Netflix film, Mank. Even in this state of quarantine, the action never stops.

On the rare occasion she has been able to slow down, she’s dedicated her time to self-reflection, as this period marks the longest stretch of the 31-year-old’s adult life that she’s spent at home, temporarily liberated from the upheaval of international press tours and on-location shoots.

L’Officiel has uploaded to their official Youtube channel two videos featuring Lily: a behind-the-scenes of the photo session, and an interview during which Lily speaks out on her character in Emily in Paris, working in Paris and her love of French fashion. You can watch the videos below.

Emily In Paris star Lily Collins opens up to Kelly Clarkson and Josh Groban about the importance of sharing one’s mental health struggles with others. Not only does it make mental illness less stigmatized, but it can also make others feel less alone.

Hello Lilyians! Lily’s been promoting Mank these past weeks, and one of her “stops” this week was on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon! Due to the pandemic, Lily spoke to Jimmy Fallon from her own home, but that didn’t stop her team from spoiling us with photos of make-up and outfit. You can find the video from the interview below, and our gallery has been updated with all the photos released on social media.

We’ve decided on compiling in this post all video interviews Lily gave while promoting Mank, out in select theaters and on Netflix on December 4th. You’ll find all released videos below and under the cut. Keep an eye out for our twitter @mscollinsnet, as we’ll update you regarding new videos!

Whatever your thoughts on the fashion choices in the viral TV hit Emily in Paris, it’s clear that the actor in the titular role is no slouch in the wardrobe department. The contents of Lily Collins’s LA wardrobe are consistent with her polished brand of girl-next-door charm – from the high-school sweatshirt that inspired her book, to the Levi’s jeans she wore to Karl Lagerfeld’s last Chanel show – but there are some show-stopping pieces, too, namely the bespoke Chanel shoes the French house made for her debut at Le Bal des Débutantes, or the Crillon Ball. Watch the video for a glimpse of Collins’s favourite wardrobe binders – and the vintage memento she picked up between takes in Paris.

Lily Collins walks us through her skin care routine and shares a simple, clean day-to-night look with a nod to Parisian glamour. Lily also talks about her obsession with essential oils and how she deals with dry skin.

Lily is on the cover of this week’s issue of Sunday Times Style, during which she spoke about Emily in Paris, falling in love, learning how to chill, and her best beauty hack. Our gallery has been updated with the cover and outtakes from the magazine, and below you can read the full article and watch a fun video of Lily.

For much of the weekend before we speak, Lily Collins threatens to melt my laptop as I tear uncontrollably through her latest show, a raunchy, rompy, highly bingeable comedy set in Paris. Her on-screen character, Emily, goes one better and blows the power in an entire Parisian arrondissement by plugging in her US-wired vibrator during a Facetime sex call with her American-based boyfriend. She then moves on to deflowering her friend’s 17-year-old brother, the scion of a champagne house, at his parents’ château.

The Guildford-born, LA-raised Collins has an eminently solid acting CV, starring as Sandra Bullock’s daughter in The Blind Side, Snow White in Mirror, Mirror and Fantine in last year’s BBC adaptation of Les Misérables, but until now the 31-year-old former model’s roles have tended to play more to her doll-like prettiness rather than her comedy chops. In truth, her acting accomplishments as a whole have been somewhat overshadowed by her very famous father, the thrice-married British musician Phil Collins, who split from Lily’s mother, his second wife, the American antiques dealer Jill Tavelman, when she was five. Lily and her mother relocated to Los Angeles and she only saw her father during school holidays.

In Collins’s 2017 collection of personal essays, Unfiltered, No Shame, No Regrets, Just Me, she wrote an open letter to her father. “We all make choices and, although I don’t excuse some of yours, at the end of the day we can’t rewrite the past,” she wrote. “I’m learning how to accept your actions and vocalise how they made me feel. I accept and honour the sadness and anger I felt toward the things you did or didn’t do, did or didn’t give me.”
