Lily Collins and Ashley Park attended a special presentation of ‘The Summer Book’ during the London Film Festival, directed by Lily’s husband, Charlie McDowell. With Lily’s upcoming role in ‘Barcelona’ at Duke of York’s Theatre from October 21 to January 11 in London, it’s clear she’s juggling multiple projects. But at this event, she opted to let the spotlight shine on her husband’s work, keeping her fashion choice understated.
Lily’s black suit, while simple, was an intentional move. By choosing a classic, minimal look, she allowed the focus to remain on those involved in this project without distracting from the evening’s main purpose. The sharp tailoring and timeless elegance didn’t compete for attention. This was a smart and subtle choice for someone used to being center stage.
In contrast, Ashley Park took a bolder approach with her fashion. Known for her vibrant style, she arrived in a two-tone half grey, half brown pinstripe suit from Bouguessa’s Fall 2024 collection. The hybridized design reflected Ashley’s playful and fashion-forward spirit. While some might argue that Ashley upstaged Lily with her standout ensemble, it’s clear that Lily invited her friend fully aware of her bold fashion identity.
Ashley is never one to tone it down, and this event was no exception. The contrast between their looks highlighted the different but equally strong style sensibilities of both women. For Lily, it was about subtlety and support; for Ashley, it was about celebrating with her usual fashion flair.
