Lily James Stuns in Chic Striped Dress at LFW

Lily James led the star-studded arrivals at The British Museum alongside Keira Knightley, Bel Powley and Dame Helen Mirren for Erdem's London Fashion Week show on Sunday. 

The Cinderella actress, 36, was the epitome of chic in a striped wrap dress which hugged her gorgeous figure and teased a glimpse of her long legs.

Lily's eye-catching look boasted distressed hems as well as a neck scarf with a similar sweater wrapped around her tiny waist. 

Adding extra height to her frame with a pair of knee-high black leather boots she toted her essentials in a cool clutch. 

Fellow actress Keira, 40, was also looking stylish in a conservative tweed blazer with pattered skirt that was layered over a white shirt with ruffled lace collar.

Meanwhile Bel, 33, put on a very leggy display in a grey ruched mini dress with dramatic train which she wore with a an oversized embroidered blazer.

Slipping her feet into a pair of ballet flats she posed up a storm before taking her seat in the star-studded front row.

Elsewhere acting icon Dame Helen, 80, looked gorgeous in a chic navy cardigan with lace trim and a floral printed skirt.

The MobLand star accentuated her timeless features with make-up and accessorised with pendant earrings and diamond rings. 

She looked sensational as she slipped into a structured black gown which featured a daringly high slit.

As she posed in the backless dress for a snap shared to Instagram, Lily showcased her back tattoo, which is of the number nine.

It is unknown what the tattoo means or when she had it done, but pictures as far back as June 2025 show that the star has had it for a while.

Lily completed her ensemble for the glitzy event as she slipped into a pair of towering black heels.

Earlier this year, The Mail on Sunday shared Lily may have found love with handsome stuntman Bobby Holland Hanton, after his father shared insight into their new romance. .

As a stunt double for Daniel Craig, Ryan Reynolds and now close friend Chris Hemsworth, Hanton often talks about his fitness routines and how he maintains his muscular physique. 

In 2020, the actor - who split up from wife Rachel Hunter in 2022 before dating Love Island actress Maura Higgins - decided to quit boozing for 12 months after drinking alcohol while on painkillers for a recent back surgery.  

He told the fitness magazine, Centr: 'On average, I'd have a glass or two with dinner with my wife on Thursday or Friday, maybe Saturday night go out to dinner and have a few more drinks, and then on a Sunday, I'd have a couple of beers with a roast.

'So on average, let's say seven to eight drinks a week.' 

He said he had cut down to just one or two drinks per week and preached: 'I've changed a lot of things for the better and I'm reaping the benefits.' 

He met Lily at the Red Lion pub in Fareham, Hampshire - a year after he split from Maura following a ten-month relationship - and they were first pictured as a couple there last month. 

A post on the pub's Facebook page said: 'Tonight we had a visit from Downton Abbey's Lily James alongside Thor stuntman Bobby Hanton. They enjoyed a drink and a game of pool, plus gained a new miniature fan club with staff kids.' 

A picture showed the Cinderella actress with her boyfriend's arm around her and the pair holding hands and laughing while enjoying some beers. 

Lily's longest relationship was with actor Matt Smith, the youngest ever Doctor Who, who appeared to break her heart in 2019 when their five-year romance ended.

In October 2020, she was pictured nuzzling married actor Dominic West on a scooter in Rome which prompted the actor and his wife, Catherine, to insist their marriage was fine the next day at the marital home in Wiltshire.

By 2021, Lily had settled down mostly in LA with 'Mikey Shoes,' real name Michael Shuman, the bassist of the hard-living hard rock band Queens Of The Stone Age, four years her senior. That lasted from 2021 to 2023.
