Lily Collins looked nothing short of sensational on Sunday night as she showcased her back tattoos at The Devil Wears Prada: The Musical world premiere held at The British Museum, London.

The Emily In Paris star, 35, dazzled in an off-the-shoulder gold sequin gold that perfectly displayed the two inkings on her upper back. 

Lily, who is appearing in West End play Barcelona, looked sensational as she slipped into a very revealing Vivienne Westwood Couture sequinned gown. 

The stunner put on a very leggy display in the eye-popping outfit which featured a racy thigh-high split as well as a cleavage enhancing Bardot neckline. 

Lily forwent jewellery and let the dazzling gown speak for itself as she posed up a storm with dashing husband Charlie McDowell, 41, whom she wed in 2021.

Lily’s back tattoo of script that reads ‘Love Always and Forever’ was her very first tattoo which she had inked in 2014. The ‘L’ on love is incorporated with a rose.

The script is written in Lily’s own handwriting, with the actress previously stating that she had ‘always wanted’ tattoos and the inking was a part of her ‘experimenting’ with herself.

She told Seventeen magazine back in 2013: ‘I’ve definitely edged-up my style a little, but not for any reason other than I’m experimenting with myself a little.

‘I always wanted tattoos, so this past November, I got two. I got my back done first and its my handwriting and it says, Love, always and forever/.’ 

Below this sits another inking of a woman sitting on a Lily Pad, which she had done in 2016 to commemorate her trip to South Korea that year. 

Sharing an Instagram snap of her tattoo back in 2016, Lily penned: ‘A beautiful keepsake from an incredibly memorable Korean adventure. Thank you @tattooist_doy for adding your artistry to my personal collection. Self love is the most important kind.’

Lily’s outing comes after This Morning fans all made the same joke about her very glamorous outfit as she joined Cat Deeley and Dermot O’Leary on the ITV sofa last week.

The star and Money Heist actor Alvaro Morte, 49, appeared on the latest instalment of the chat show to speak about their West End debut.

Viewers rushed to social media to make the same jokes about Lily’s glitzy ensemble, which they deemed somewhat over the top, especially compared to Cat’s outfit of a cosy jumper and jeans.

One asked: ‘Is Lily Collins on her way to or from some sort of party?’.

Another wrote: ‘Cat looks like she’s going for a hike in the alps and Lily looks like she is going on the red carpet, get the poor lᴀss a coat.’

‘Lily, you’ll catch your death,’ someone else joked. 

Others said the actress looked ‘stunning’ and questioned if she was heading off to film an episode of The Graham Norton Show.

Lily wore an £880 Vivienne Westwood corset, paired with a £836 gathered skirt also by the British designer – bringing the total price of her red-carpet-ready look to £1,716.

In comparison, Alvaro looked much more laid back next to the actress in his black jeans, white T-shirt and black leather jacket.

The pair are spending 12 weeks starring in Bess Wohl’s West End show Barcelona at London’s Duke of York’s Theatre.

Giving a rundown of the play to hosts Cat and Ben, Lily said: ‘A young woman goes to Barcelona on a bachelorette weekend and meets a Spanish man at a bar and they go home together.

‘It takes you on a wild ride with things you are not expecting. Even things that we were not expecting that we are finding out every night on stage to.’
