Lily Collins explores her masculine side in a shoot









Lily Collins plays Snow White in Mirror Mirror. She’s daughter of Phil Collins & she’s 22 but unlike others, she looks younger. Now this young woman is known for her sense of fashion. In fact, she’s regarded as a fashion icon. I tend to disagree with it but you know how they praise actors when they want to.

Anyway, she’s done a bit of an experiment in a fashion shoot for Nylon magazine. She shows off her masculine side.

In one, she’s wearing a cream tuxedo jacket, tuxedo shirt and black bow tie & she looks kind of innocent. In another image, she wears a manly striped shirt, floral tie and checked vest mis-matched combination.

However, she also goes girly wearing a pretty chiffon shirt and a weaved leather skirt in one & that’s by far the best image. There’s a touch of sensuality as well innocence, & that makes it different from the kind of stuff we see every day. So I like this image. She also looks nice wearing a pretty knitted Chanel cardigan with a mint green skirt.

But the cover is pathetic in which she’s wearing a leather fitted funnel top and neon green skirt. I guess she looks terrible. Everything about the cover is simply pathetic. Lily Collins is an average looking girl, so you’ve got to work harder on her I guess & I don’t know what the hell happened to them when they worked on the cover. They ought to do something about her eyebrows, which are too thick & dark, & obviously they kind of look dirty. And the outfit was the worst. This is certainly not a bold cover shot, but one in which no one has put in hard work. Maybe they were tired.

Anyhow, Lily always dreamed of working in a fairy tale. She told Seventeen magazine:

“As a little girl living in the English countryside, I used to go running around in the forests, creating my own fairy tale. To be an iconic character that I admired so much as a girl is a complete dream and honour.”

It’s invariably the same old story & it comes true every time.

I’m sure everyone is aware that Julia Roberts is the evil queen & that’s the reason why we know about Mirror Mirror, so to speak. However, Julia Roberts is wearing really bad, sorry, pathetic outfits in this film, so is Lily Collins but who cares!

Speaking of her famous co-star, Lily said: “She’s playing evil in a way that I don’t think people are going to expect. Everyone loves that Julia smile and laugh and she maintains that, but in the film she has this creepy eerie way that you don’t know if you love her or hate her. She’s brilliant and it’s been an honour. She’s so nice, she’s so classy, she’s just everything I had hoped she’d be.”

But the fun part now begins…although she says Julia Roberts is so nice, so classy & everything she hoped she’d be but at the same time, Lily said that Julia Roberts had to struggle with her villainous alter ego on the set.

She added: 'Julia gets to be quite horrible to me. There’s a scene where she pulls my hair and she pulled it so hard that some of it came out! But we kept rolling and afterwards she was like, "I’m so sorry! I’m so sorry!"'

How can you call someone nice who has been deliberately mean to you? But that’s how the industry works! We give points to Lily Collins who even praised Julia Roberts & also wants to become like her one day & yet she doesn’t ever miss the opportunity of mentioning this hair pulling episode.

I think Julia Roberts is the right choice as the evil queen but Lily Collins is not. Snow White has been one of the most beautiful characters. After all, why did the queen get rid of her? Lily looks more than Julia Roberts’ maid rather than a beautiful princess. Anyway, the movie will be released on March 16th.

Moreover, there’s another adaption ‘Snow white & the Huntsman’ & it will be released after Mirror Mirror somewhere in June. This version stars Kristen Stewart as the title character & Charlize Theron as the queen & beyond any doubt, they have been much wiser in making their choices.
