Call us slow but it has taken us over two decades for Lily
Collins to register on our radar. The British actress and daughter of
musician Phil Collins started acting at the tender age of two, but it is
only now, aged 24, that she has come to the fore as a fully fledged
fashion plate.

The month of August saw Lily tick off Berlin, Madrid, Mexico and LA on the promo tour of her new film
The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones.
And rather than greeting a fatigued starlet, the press
saw Lily fashion a different sartorial persona for each city.
It was a Sixties siren - complete with beehive, cat eye flick and
extravagant mullet hemline by Fausto Puglisi - that greeted Mexico; a
fiery Forties beauty in fire engine red Houghton that sashayed into the
Madrid premiere; and many a clothes horse in between.

When not on the red carpet, Collins showed her panache
for cut-out detailing, crop tops, sailor suits, stripes and fuschia pink
short suits. If there's one thing we can say about
The Mortal Instruments
star it's: She. Is. Fearless.

If it sounds like we have been cooing over Collins, you're right. For
not only is she a chameleon in the fashion stakes, she likes to mix up
her beauty repertoire too. Hair stylist Mara Roszak has had to get
creative with tousled waves, beehives, half beehives and gelled down
locks, as Lily has changed her 'dos more times than Rihanna this month.
Don't believe us?
