Lily Collins is a British-American actress, model, and author who has established herself as one of Hollywood’s most versatile and bankable talents. Born on March 18, 1989, in Guildford, Surrey, England, she is the daughter of legendary musician Phil Collins and American Jill Tavelman. After moving to Los Angeles as a child, Collins began her career in journalism before transitioning to acting. Her early film roles in ‘The Blind Side’ (2009) and ‘Abduction’ (2011) showcased her potential, and she gained wider recognition starring as Snow White in ‘Mirror Mirror’ (2012).

Collins’ career gained significant momentum with acclaimed performances in ‘Rules Don’t Apply’ (2016), directed by Warren Beatty, and the powerful drama ‘To the Bone’ (2017), where she drew from personal experience to portray a young woman battling anorexia. She also demonstrated her range in the thriller ‘Extremely Wicked, Shockingly Evil and Vile’ (2019) opposite Zac Efron, and in David Fincher’s biographical drama ‘Mank’ (2020), earning a Golden Globe nomination for the latter.

Her biggest commercial success came with Netflix’s ‘Emily in Paris,’ which premiered in 2020 and became a global phenomenon. The series, in which Collins also serves as a producer, has run for multiple seasons and made her one of the most recognizable faces on the streaming platform. The show’s massive international viewership has significantly boosted her brand value and earning potential. Collins earned a Golden Globe nomination for her role and has leveraged the show’s success into major fashion and beauty partnerships with brands like Lancome and Cartier.

With a net worth estimated at $25 million in 2026, Collins has built her wealth through a combination of acting salaries, producing credits, high-profile brand deals, and her work as an author with her book ‘Unfiltered: No Shame, No Regrets, Just Me.’ Married to director Charlie McDowell since 2021, she continues to expand her production portfolio while maintaining her status as a fashion icon and one of Netflix’s most valuable stars.
