Star-studded: Lily Collins wowed when she took centre stage at the red carpet premiere for her movie during the Ischia Global Festival on Saturday evening
Look like Lily in a gown by Carolina Herrera this summer
Lily Collins attended the premiere of her latest movie at the Ischia Film Festival last night and she certainly rocked the red carpet.
Opting for a naval skimming plunging neckline, Lily was sure to turn heads as she posed for the cameras. And while that neckline is rather racy the rest of the dress is extremely pretty, balancing it out nicely.
We love the spotty print and the moody shade of dark purple of this Carolina Herrera number. It's from the designer's AW17 collection so isn't available to buy online just yet so in the meantime why not shop the current collection at MyTheresa.com (right)?
Or recreate the look with our pick of V-neck maxis below. Free People, A.L.C., Diane Von Furstenberg and Majorelle will all help you steal Lily's style at the click of the mouse.
The To The Bone beauty stood tall in a pair of sky-high nude heels which didn't detract from her striking evening ensemble.
For drama, Lily wore a slick of dark purple lipstick to bring out the vibrant colour of her dress and a light touch of smoky eye makeup.
The British-American actress waved the British flag at the festival, letting her brunette tresses down in a loosely-tousled style.
Posing up a storm on the red carpet, Lily looked sensational as she flaunted her svelte figure.Â
She was later joined by the likes of La La Antony in the front row of the star-studded screening at the A-list affair.

Lily, who reportedly lost 20lbs for her role as the anorexia sufferer Ellen, looked worlds away from her gaunt appearance as 20-year-old anorexic sufferer Ellen in her latest movie role.
Her appearance comes after she gave her first full interview about the film and her own off-screen struggle with eating disorders to The Daily Mail.Â
The starlet blamed her famous father Phil Collins' £17 million divorce as the trigger for her extreme anorexia and bulimia.
Shocking:Â She has courted attention for her role as an anorexic sufferer in new Netflix drama To The Bone in the light of her confession she suffered from an extreme eating disorder
Controversial: The film has attracted a lot of controversy for its portrayal of obsessive eating disorders including unhealthy habits such as calorie counting and extreme exercise
Harrowing: Lily lost 20lbs to play the part of 20-year-old sufferer Ellen in the movie
She explained how her severe eating disorder stopped her menstrual cycle for two years and could have affected her chances of having children.Â
Lily revealed she gorged on junk food, then forced herself to throw up, causing her hair to fall out and her nails to become brittle.Â
‘My periods stopped for two years,' she bravely confessed. 'And my life was out of control. I was terrified I had ruined my chances of ever having kids.'

Of her relationship with her father, she said: ‘There was a terrible disconnect that grew between us. Many of my deepest insecurities stem from my issues with my dad.’
Lily, who went to school in Los Angeles, lived with mother Jill Tavelman (Phil's second wife) after their separation.
When she heard that his marriage to third wife Orianne Cevey was also in trouble, along with the stress of her school life, she became anorexic and bulimic in 2008.Â

Reminiscent: Her mother sobbed when she saw her daughter looking gaunt in the film
For To The Bone, the actress has insisted that she lost weight in a 'healthy' fashion, with regular check-ups from doctors.
Regardless, her mother sobbed when she saw her daughter looking gaunt in the film, no doubt bringing back the harrowing memories of Lily's teenage years.
Speaking about her mum's reaction, Lily told the EDIT: 'The first time mum saw the film she was a bit in shock.
'The second time I looked over at the end and she was sobbing; it really hit her hard. I never wanted her to feel responsible; she's like my best friend.'Â
In her autobiography Unfiltered, Lily touches on her eating disorder that plagued her teenage years.
