This Week’s Style Spotlight: Two Lilys Rock Lingerie-Inspired Looks for Winter
Lily Collins Makes a Bold Fashion Statement in Paris
Lily Collins, the star of Netflix’s “Emily in Paris,” made headlines this week as she arrived in Paris via the Venice Simplon-Orient-Express train. The actress showcased a daring look while promoting the upcoming season of the series, donning a blush-toned lingerie ensemble from Saint Laurent, designed by Anthony Vaccarello. Paired with a chocolate brown trench coat and clutch, Collins’ outfit marks one of her most audacious fashion choices to date, especially considering her generally classic style.
This isn’t the first time chic lace has graced the public eye this season. Just the previous night, singer Lily Allen performed her song "Sleepwalking" on "Saturday Night Live," featuring a mint green lace-trimmed romper that evoked vintage nightwear. Styled by Leith Clark, Allen’s outfit captured attention and added to the fresh trend of incorporating elements of intimate apparel into everyday fashion. Both women completed their looks with sheer nylon tights and heels, underlining a shared fashion statement.
The trend doesn’t stop with the two Lilys. Philippine Leroy-Beaulieu, Collins’ co-star in “Emily in Paris,” recently turned heads at a promotional event wearing a plunging scalloped neckline minidress with a flowing chiffon train. In another instance of this emerging style, actress Katie Holmes was spotted in a lace-trimmed camisole paired with a matching skirt.
This evolving fashion landscape builds on the summer’s "nightgown-as-daywear" trend, now with an even bolder twist for winter. Sabrina Carpenter, a Gen Z fashion icon, has been at the forefront of this movement, often seen in corsets, slip dresses, and lingerie-inspired tops during her "Short n’ Sweet" tour, bringing boudoir aesthetics to the streets and red carpets alike.
As traditional boundaries of intimate apparel continue to blur, it’s clear that what was once reserved for the bedroom is now being embraced in public spaces. Whether stepping off a train or running errands, the message is unmistakable: the boudoir is now an integral part of everyday fashion.
