Lily James hit back at Instagram on Monday after her latest post was removed by the social media platform for breaching community guidelines.
The British actress has been on location in the Canadian wilderness while filming Harmonia, a forthcoming thriller from director Guy Nattiv.
James, 36, caught the eye of Instagram moderators after sharing an array of photos from the shoot, including one in which she and her co-stars appear to be completely naked.
The blurred shot captures James and five unidentified fellow actresses holding hands as they form a tight circle and gaze up at the sky, as if in worship.
Scheduled for release in 2026, Harmonia is inspired by the real life experiences of Nattiv’s own grandmother and her connection to a bizarre cult in the 1980s.
The new film also features Carrie Coon, formerly of The White Lotus, The Last Of Us star Bella Ramsey, and Odessa Young, who also features alongside Jeremy Allen White in forthcoming Bruce Springsteen biopic Deliver Me From Nowhere.

But James’ apparent celebration of the shoot was cut short by Instagram, who removed the post in accordance with community guidelines regarding online nudity.
Evidently unhappy with the decision, she later posted: ‘Instagram you deleted my last post … why…’
Instagram is yet to respond publicly, and the post remains notably absent from her social media platform.
The company’s community guidelines serve to implement restrictions on hate speech, bullying and content related to violence, self-harm and various illegal activities.
Intellectual property, spam, appropriate imagery and branded content are also monitored by the site.
Harmonia marks a productive period for the former Downton Abbey star, who has multiple projects in the pipeline over the coming year.
The actress will also star in a rebooted version of Sylvester Stallone’s 1993 blockbuster Cliffhanger, playing Naomi, the eldest daughter of seasoned mountaineer Ray Cooper, played by Pierce Brosnan.
The legendary actor, 71, recently shared a behind-the-scenes photo of himself alongside the actress after completing work on the film.

Sharing the snap with Instagram followers, he wrote: ‘Dear Lily, thank you and Jaume Collette Serra (director) for inviting me to come play with y’ll in the mountains of Austria and the fair city of beautiful Munich.’
He added: ‘I had a blast, am gonna miss ya. I wish you et al every joy of success with your production of Cliffhanger. Mighty work

The father-daughter duo, Naomi and Ray ‘run a mountain chalet in the Dolomites. During a weekend trip with a billionaire’s son, they are targeted by a gang of kidnappers,’ an official synopsis reads.
James will also voice characters in two new animated features – LoliRock: The Movie and The Angry Birds 3.
Additionally, she is expected to take a starring role in Bad Lieutenant: Tokyo, a standalone sequel director Abel Ferrera’s hard-hitting 1992 thriller.
