Lily Collins Shines at PaleyFest LA 2026 Red Carpet
Lily Collins made a stunning appearance at the PaleyFest LA 2026 red carpet for Netflix’s Emily in Paris in Los Angeles. The actress, who is 37 years old, looked effortlessly elegant in a bold outfit for the event, which took place in Hollywood on Friday.
As she walked the red carpet at the Dolby Theatre, Lily showcased her figure with a striking side cut-out that revealed her waist. The burgundy velvet evening gown featured an asymmetric, one-shoulder design, and she completed her look with a pair of black pointed heels.
The star was also seen proudly wearing her engagement ring after it was returned to her three years after it was stolen. This marked a significant moment for Lily, as the ring was a special piece designed by her husband, filmmaker Charlie McDowell, and was valued at over £65,000.
Lily was deeply upset when the ‘exceptionally rare’ item was taken during her stay at the West Hollywood EDITION Hotel on Sunset Boulevard in 2023. She had placed the engagement ring in storage at the venue, but upon returning, she found her belongings missing without any signs of forced entry.
Last month, Lily shared a selfie on social media showing off the ring after its return. She wrote: ‘So grateful to @joethejewelerchicago for helping recover my original engagement ring after it was stolen almost three years ago. Having this home means SO much to us. I’m still speechless it’s back on my finger.’
Lily and Charlie McDowell, the son of actor Malcolm McDowell, confirmed their engagement in September 2020 after meeting on the set of his film Gilded Rage the previous year. They exchanged vows in an intimate wedding ceremony in Dunton Hot Springs, Colorado, in September 2021.
A Glimpse into Family Life
In recent updates, Lily has shared insights into her work-life balance with Charlie and their daughter Tove. She displayed affection with Charlie as they doted on their 13-month-old daughter, whom they welcomed via surrogate.
The couple appeared every bit the proud parents in sunny photos while Lily also gave a glimpse into some of her recent work projects. One photo showed her showcasing her toned figure in a black tennis outfit as she stayed active.
She captioned the post: ‘Work life balance…’
Moving Back to London
According to previous reports, Lily is planning to move from Los Angeles to London with her husband and daughter. Sources indicate that she has been considering a return to Britain since ‘falling in love’ with London during her 12-week run in the West End thriller Barcelona over Christmas in 2024.
A source mentioned: ‘Lily grew up in the English countryside with many happy memories and she wants the same for her daughter. But instead of the countryside, she has fallen in love with London because that’s where she has lots of friends and family. She is particularly taken with the north, like Hampstead and Queen’s Park.’
