This month belongs to one woman and one woman only, and we won’t go another day without celebrating her: Lily Collins, come on down! You are this week’s Woman Crush Wednesday.
With 3 (THREE!) huge projects available to stream this month, no one is bringing it or working as hard as Lily Collins right now. She’s in Okja, available now on Netflix, stars in this week’s major movie on the streaming platform, To The Bone, and has the Amazon series, The Last Tycoon premiering at the end of the month. She might be too busy to talk about how great she is, but we aren’t!
WHO’S THAT GAL: Lily Collins
WHY WE’RE CRUSHING: We love Lily because she’s not afraid to go there. The actress, writer, and model has been open about her struggles with eating disorders in the past, and faced them head-on by starring in the new and impactful Netflix movie. Never one to shy away from social or political issues, the outspoken gal brings that same passion to the screen, in roles that vary from fairytales to ass-kicking action. She’s as sophisticated and classy as she is talented, and this is only the very, very beginning of her career, which is sure to take her to delightful new heights with each and every project.
WHERE YOU’VE SEEN HER BEFORE: Lily’s first major role was in The Blind Side, and she followed that up with Priest, and Abduction, the action thriller opposite Taylor Lautner. From there, she played Snow White in Mirror Mirror, and went down the romance route for Stuck in Love and The English Teacher. Lily easily switched gears for the action flick The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones, and puckered up to Sam Claflin in Love, Rosie.
In 2016, Lily picked up a Golden Globe nomination for her work in Rules Don’t Apply, and this year, released her first book, Unfiltered: No Shame, No Regrets, Just Me.
WHERE YOU’LL SEE HER AGAIN: You can stream Okja on Netflix now, where Lily portrays a member of an animal rights group on a mission to save the adorable superpig the film gets its name from. On Friday, she stars in the Netflix original film To The Bone, which depicts a young woman fighting the terrible battle of anorexia. And starting July 28th, head on over to Prime Video to watch her star opposite Matt Bomer and Kelsey Grammer in The Last Tycoon, a drama series about Hollywood in the 1930’s. At this rate, her August is going to be just as hot!
