Lily Collins
Lily Collins is a popular British-American actress and model. A graduate from the ‘University of Southern California,’ the star has been in the acting and modeling world since the age of two, thanks to her famous musician father, Phil Collins. Very few people know that Lily Collins was interested in journalism as a young girl, but destiny had other plans for her. Following her studies, she first gained attention as a writer for popular teen magazines like ‘Teen Vogue’ and ‘Seventeen.’ Later on, she started hosting Nickelodeon-sponsored political campaigns. She made her acting debut in a feature movie titled ‘The Blind Side,’ before landing a lead role in an action-thriller. But it was her role as Snow White in ‘Mirror Mirror’ that paved the way for a bright future in Hollywood. As a model, Lily Collins modeled for several brands and received many honors. She was given the title ‘International Model of the Year’ by Spain’s ‘Glamour’ magazine after being chosen by the brand ‘Chanel’ to wear one of their gowns. In 2008, she was named ‘One to Watch’ at the ‘Young Hollywood Awards.’

Lily Collins Keeps Her Hair Shiny and Hydrated with This Smoothing Hair Oil

If you've ever wondered how Lily Collins keeps her hair so healthy-looking on and off camera, we've got the scoop. The Emily in Paris star is the new brand ambassador for Living Proof (yes, the science-based buzzy haircare line that Jennifer Aniston put on the map way back when), which may explain why her hair has been looking extra luscious lately. The 33-year-old actress tells PEOPLE in an exclusive interview that she relies on the next-level formulas to keep her strands in superior condition and trusts the brand to always deliver.

Lily Collins Is the Newest Face of Living Proof

If you binged Emily in Paris, you likely noticed Emily Cooper’s perfectly bouncy curls that embodied quite the opposite of the laid-back, je ne sais quoi French attitude toward hairstyling. But in real life, Lily Collins, who plays the titular Parisian, leans more into the relaxed style of the French. And now, the actress is making the most of her iconic hair as the new face of Living Proof.

Lily Collins: I want to be unrecognizable

Lily Collins wants to be "unrecognizable". The 33-year-old actress loves being "a chameleon" on screen, and she has "no problem" with being unrecognizable, either. She explained: "I definitely see characters as a way to make myself a chameleon of sorts, but also I use photoshoots, Met Balls or big fashion and make-up and hair opportunities as moments to become something different, or at least have a different side of my personality come out.

"Your hair can make or break a look," Lily Collins assuredly tells me during a Zoom on a sunny Friday afternoon. "It can be a sad addition if it's not done properly, or it can be an extra cherry on top for an outfit," she adds. Few people know the sheer significance that hair holds, both on and off stage, better than Collins — who has been acting since she was merely two years old. Whether it's her wedding day or a press day for Emily in Paris, she and her team take the artistic direction of her hair very seriously.
