She stated that the character helped her find the fun sense of style she had lost following her breakup. In an interview on Tuesday, August 6, 2024, the actress revealed that after the breakup, she found herself preferring muted colors and avoiding anything flashy, large, or revealing in her choice of outfit. Here’s everything she said.

How Lily Collins Tried To Be Perfect for Her Ex-Boyfriend

Lily Collins has since described that period of life as a very “dull time.” During her dating days, Collins recalls her then-boyfriend telling her what to wear, do, or say. She said, “I thought for a while that if you make yourself physically, with volume, appear bigger, then you’re taking up too much space.”

In her 2017 book, “Unfiltered: No Shame, No Regrets, Just Me,” Collins opened up about how she tried to be perfect for her ex. She claimed that the more she tried to conform to her former partner’s expectations, the more isolated she became.

Collins wrote, “I became a one-woman island, but not the strong and independent kind. I was the definition of codependent. And worst of all, I became so scared that if I left him, I would have nothing. Be nothing.”

After the breakup, Collins said that she found empowerment while working with costume designer Patricia Field. Field, known for her work on “Sex and the City,” was a consulting costume designer for the first two seasons of “Emily in Paris.”

Collins stated that she was blown away when she arrived in Paris months later and saw her picks ready for her first fitting. She said she submitted her fashion opinions for the show, believing she was giving advice rather than making specific requests.

However, Collins’s reaction upon seeing the clothes showed she was pleased. Describing her character, the movie star said that one of her favorite things about Emily is that she takes up space in a nice way.

Who Is Lily Collins Ex-boyfriend

In 2013, Lily Collins revealed her dislike for public discussions about her relationships. Collins said that seeing the problems she went through because of the media’s portrayal of her parent’s divorce in 1996, which attracted wide media attention, she prefers to keep her love life shrouded in secrecy.

As a result, the identity of Lily Collins’ ex-boyfriend remains unknown. Despite discussing her relationship issues, Lily Collins has never revealed her ex-boyfriend’s identity. In 2012, Collins dated Jamie Campbell Bower, her co-star in “The Mortal Instruments.”

Within a year, the two parted ways. Although they reconciled in 2015, they broke up later that year. Collins briefly dated Chris Evans in 2015, and there are rumors that she also dated Chord Overstreet, Taylor Lautner, Zac Efron, and Thomas Cocquerel.

In September 2020, Collins announced her engagement to Charlie McDowell, an American writer and director of motion pictures.

Does Lily Collins Have a Husband?

Yes, she does. Lily Collins’ husband is Charlie McDowell. On September 4, 2021, Collins and McDowell tied the knot at Dunton Hot Springs, Colorado. In March 2023, the two purchased a townhouse in Copenhagen, Denmark’s Østerbro neighborhood.

Born on July 10, 1983, Charles Malcolm McDowell is an American film director and screenwriter. McDowell was born in Los Angeles, California, to American actress Mary Steenburgen and English actor Malcolm McDowell. 

McDowell made his directorial film debut in “The One I Love” (2014). Subsequently, in 2017, he directed the Netflix drama film “The Discovery,” and in 2022, he wrote and directed “Windfall.”

How Is Lily Collins So Famous?

Lily Jane Collins, born March 18, 1989, is an American and British actress. She started her acting career at age two in the BBC series “Growing Pains.” She was born in Guildford and raised in Los Angeles. 

She started acting and modeling more frequently in the late 2000s and became well-known for her supporting role in the sports drama film “The Blind Side” (2009). Collins went on to star in more movies, including the fantasy flick “Mirror Mirror” (2012) and many others.

In 2020, Lily Collins portrayed the titular character Emily in the Netflix series “Emily in Paris,” which further propelled her to stardom. She received a Golden Globe nomination in 2021 for her work as the best actress in a television comedy or musical series.

The show focuses on the advertising world of Paris without failing to introduce us to the Paris fashion scene.
