Lily Collins ensured all eyes were on her as she stepped out for the Calvin Klein show during New York Fashion Week on Friday, delivering a lesson in how to do power dressing with a playful twist.
The Emily in Paris actress, 36, looked effortlessly chic in a plunging coral crop top that shimmered under the lights – a bold departure from the sea of monochrome that often dominates the front row. The vibrant hue framed her décolletage and added a welcome flash of warmth against the winter chill of New York City.

The structured outerwear added polish, while black flared trousers elongated her silhouette and gave a subtle nod to ’70s glamour. She completed the ensemble with classic black stilettos, adding height and confidence in equal measure.
Her beauty look was equally refined. Lily styled her glossy raven hair into her signature sleek bob, parted neatly and tucked behind her ears to let the outfit take centre stage. A simple black handbag kept things understated, proving once again that she understands the power of letting one standout piece do the talking.

Meanwhile, Jodie Turner-Smith, 39, injected her own dose of drama in a vibrant yellow playsuit worn with black sheer tights, leather gloves and towering heels, topped off with a long black coat.

“Yesterday, Dad turned 75 and I feel so grateful to have celebrated together,” she wrote. “For all you’ve accomplished, all the joy you’ve brought so many all over the world for all these years… proud is an understatement. Love you to the moon and back again.”

From emotional family tributes to commanding the fashion front row, Lily continues to balance grace and glamour with enviable ease – and if this coral moment is anything to go by, she’s set to make NYFW her runway, one bold look at a time.
