Lily James, versatile actress

Here's Lily James, the British actress who plays Pamela Anderson in the scandalous drama series 'Pam & Tommy'. She's also known for very different films and series, though. Check out Lily James' fantastic looks on and off the screen.

With Sebastian Stan in 'Pam & Tommy'

Lily James and Sebastian Stan are making waves on Disney+ with the miniseries 'Pam & Tommy.' It details how the famous union of 'Baywatch' actress Pamela Anderson and rock musician Tommy Lee became a story of scandal, embarrassment, and betrayal.

This is how we've usually seen Lily James...

This is Lily James in the period drama 'In Pursuit of Love', a BBC miniseries from 2021. It's quite a different look from Pamela Anderson's!

 

Lily James as Pamela Anderson

To become Pamela in the 2022 miniseries, Lily James had to change her appearance completely. "Custom face and body prosthetics were essential," Vogue reports. Once she was Pam, Lily James told Fox, "I sort of lost myself."

The Downton Abbey dame

Lily James is also known as Lady Rose Aldridge in 'Downton Abbey.' In period dramas like this one, she's often played an eligible bachelorette or femme fatale.

Lily in real life

Born in 1989, Lily James is always stylish, not just when costume artists dress her up. Lets have a look at her most impressive looks of the past years.

Red carpet

Black & white elegance. Impeccable.

Berlin Film Festival

A light-blue Mary Katrantzou dress with embroidered patterns on the top (iguanas!?) and black ruffle on the bottom.

A closer look...

Yes, they are iguanas!

Old Hollywood style

Lily James is like a diva in this Christian Dior gown at the premiere of 'Cinderella'.

Folksy

Hints of folk. A sober cut with long sleeves and turtleneck; a flashy print inspired by the 70s. Design by Erdem.

Sixties flowers

A summery white flower dress from Brock.

LBD

The Little Black Dress. This short Mugler design gives a more formal look. Lily was about to appear in 'The Late Show with David Letterman'.

Cool minimalism

For this 'Cinderella' event she chose white once again. This long Dior dress reminds us of a fairy tale character.

Asynchronous

Balenciaga makes her look like a queen with this low-cut dress and rigid corset.

At the Globes

An asymmetrical Marchesa, pearl colour with an incorporated cape.

Flapper style

Lily James was always a 1920s' It girl on TV, and now she's using that style on the red carpet.

Tulle, Lily's best ally

A design by Elie Saab. The color: a powder pink worthy of the best fairy tales.

Lace

A perfect two-piece in Lily James' best colour.

New gala styling

Crop top + long skirt, designed by Erdem.

Mamma Mia!

An unforgettable dress from the 'Mamma Mia!' premiere. This white-and-blue ball gown is from Oscar de la Renta.

Her softer side

Ladylike in pink with flowers.

Blue romanticism

A Burberry with a high split: both sweet and seductive.

Paris Fashion Week

Another blue Burberry but this time with sequins. Glam, glam, perfect for a disco evening!

Gorgeous in black

Burberry appears to have been Lily's go-to brand for a while. Their long, figure-hugging models suited her perfectly.

Awesome

What a skirt on this belted Burberry ball gown. Just perfect.

'Yesterday' premiere

Lily James wows with a light yellow Burberry dress that has too many details to count.

Out in London

Long-sleeve, black velvet. All covered up and yet so seductive! Lily James at the 2019 British Independent Film Awards.

Like a sculpture

Perhaps the best part of this dress is its architectural construction.

Jumpsuit

Weird that the first jumpsuit in this list arrived so late in the gallery! This blue suit matches Lily's figure, long blond hair and high heels perfectly.

Pride and Prejudice

A black and grey floral dress for a romantic premiere.

Take a bow

No one could ignore Lily James at the 2019 British Fashion Awards gala with this spectacular golden bow.

That's a wrap

Sometimes this fabulous actress just wears jeans. And she looks great in those too.
