Lily Collins reunited with her ‘soul sister’ Ashley Park as she showed her support for the actress by attending her West End production Barcelona on Tuesday night.
The actresses, who both star in Netflix hit Emily In Paris, couldn’t contain their smiles as they posed for an Instagram snap outside the Duke of York’s Theatre in London.
Lily and Ashley, who play best friends Emily Cooper and Mindy Chen in the Netflix series, were seen hugging in the street before Ashley picked Lily up into the air.
During the evening out, Lily, 35, cut a low-key figure in a brown jumper, which she teamed with blue denim jeans and trainers.
Leaving her long brunette tresses loose and wearing minimal makeup, the Love Rosie star wrapped up warm in a navy scarf and a long wax coat.
Meanwhile Ashley, 33, looked stylish in a white shirt which she teamed with a long white and black coat and towering boots.

The stars were joined by co-star and Ashley’s boyfriend Paul Forman, 30, who plays Nicolas de Leon in the Netflix show, as they posed for a selfie backstage with Lily.
Lily looked glamorous in her sequin costume as she rocked a full face of makeup and a waved long blonde wig.
She wrote: ‘When your work bestie and soul sister comes to cheer you on at your other job. Love you endlessly @ashleyparklady. I learned from the best…’
Ashley and Paul have a romantic storyline on the show and it has transferred seamlessly off-screen.
It comes after Lily was last week supported by Sir Ian McKellen as the acting legend posed for a pictured with the leading star backstage.
Lily smiled from ear to ear next to the Lord Of The Rings icon, 85, and gushed over the ‘worthy moment’, revealing the actor had his West End debut at the same Duke Of York’s Theatre 60 years earlier.
‘THE one and only @ianmckellen came to see @barcelonatheplay tonight. He had his West End stage debut here at @dukeofyorksldn in 1964 on the very same stage that I’m now having mine.
‘I still cannot believe it. A truly photo worthy moment I’ll never forget…,’ she finished.

In the second shot, The Hobbit star smiled cheerfully posing alongside Emily and her filmmaker husband Charlie McDowell, 41.
Lily stars as estate agent Irene with Money Heist sensation Alvaro Morte, who plays Manuel – a ‘mysterious Spanish man who dislikes Americans’.
The pair are spending 12 weeks starring in Bess Wohl’s West End show Barcelona at London’s Duke of York’s Theatre.
The actress and Alvaro, 49, joined Cat Deeley and Dermot O’Leary on the ITV sofa last month, where they discussed their West End debut.
Giving a rundown of the play, Lily said: ‘A young woman goes to Barcelona on a bachelorette weekend and meets a Spanish man at a bar and they go home together.
‘It takes you on a wild ride with things you are not expecting. Even things that we were not expecting that we are finding out every night on stage to.’
Alvaro added: ‘It’s a while that they spend together in his apartment and you see how they discover things about each other and also about themselves.’
Performances began on October 21 and will run until January 11, 2025, with tickets currently available for £20 to £195.
Speaking for all Emily In Paris fans, Cat asked if there are any plans to bring the show to London, to which Lily excitedly replied: ‘I feel like I have become the voice of the one pitching this because I would love Emily to come to London. I’m like “Just take the Eurostar!”.

‘There’s so many amazing monuments and things that she should do here.’
Lily, who has been married to Charlie for three years, has previously revealed she’d ‘love to have a family’ with Charlie.
Talking to Harper’s Bazaar she said: ‘Of course, I’d love to have a family. So there’s the personal, the work, there’s the blending of the two… It’s always a juggle, but I want it to be – I want to be able to do all the things I enjoy. The key thing is finding out what makes sense for us’.
She also joked there were times when she forgot her now-husband Charlie was her fiancé while working together on set of 2021 Windfall.
The actress played the wife of a wealthy CEO, with the couple coming to their holiday home to discover a burglar.
Of working alongside Charlie, she said: ‘It was quite seamless because Charlie treated all the cast the same way – he’s very much an actor’s director. There were times I forgot he was my fiancé, because we had such a creative rapport.’
