Lily Collins showcases her back tattoos in an off-the-shoulder sequin dress as she dazzles at The Devil Wears Prada: The Musical launch night

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

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

Lily, who appears in the West End play Barcelona, ​​looked sensational as she donned a revealing sequined Vivienne Westwood Couture dress.

The stunner showed off very leggy in the striking outfit with a sassy thigh-high slit and a cleavage-enhancing Bardot neckline.

Lily forgo jewelry and let the dazzling dress speak for itself as she posed up a storm with dashing husband Charlie McDowell, 41, who she married in 2021.

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

The script is written in Lily’s own handwriting, with the actress previously stating that she “always wanted” tattoos and that the inking was part of her “experiments” on herself.

She told Seventeen magazine in 2013, “I’ve definitely honed my style a bit, but not for any other reason than I’m experimenting with myself a bit.”

‘I always wanted tattoos, so last November I got two. I did my back first and it’s my handwriting and it says: Love, always and forever/.’

Below is another ink drawing of a woman sitting on a lily pad, which she had done in 2016 to commemorate her trip to South Korea that year.

Lily shared an Instagram photo of her tattoo in 2016, writing: ‘A beautiful keepsake of 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 sat on the ITV sofa with Cat Deeley and Dermot O’Leary last week.

The star and Money Heist actor Alvaro Morte, 49, appeared on the latest episode 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 found slightly overdone, especially compared to Cat’s outfit of a cozy sweater and jeans.

She was joined on the red carpet by handsome husband Charlie McDowell, 41, who she married in 2021

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

Another wrote: ‘Kat looks like she’s going for a walk in the Alps and Lily looks like she’s heading down the red carpet to give the poor girl a coat.’

“Lily, you’re going to die,” someone else joked.

Others said the actress looked “stunning” and wondered if she was heading to an episode of The Graham Norton Show.

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

Emily In Paris star Lily, 35, and The Money Heist actor Alvaro Morte, 49, appeared on Monday’s episode of the chat show to speak about their West End debuts

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

The pair will star in Bess Wohl’s West End show Barcelona at the Duke of York’s Theater in London for twelve weeks.

Giving presenters Cat and Ben an overview of the piece, Lily said: ‘A young woman goes to Barcelona on a stag weekend and meets a Spanish man in a bar and they go home together.

‘It takes you on a wild ride with things you don’t expect. Even things we didn’t expect, we encounter on stage every night.’
