Emily in Paris star Lily Collins wows at Dior fashion show in Scotland
Lily Collins was one of the famous faces to attend Dior’s latest fashion collection launch yesterday evening at one of Scotland’s swankiest castles in Scotland.
The iconic French fashion house presented their 2025 Cruise collection at Drummond Castle in Perthshire on Monday June 3 with the gorgeous gardens being used as a runway as invited guests watched the new pieces being unveiled to the world.
The Emily in Paris actress was among the stars who were exclusively invited to the event as she touched down in Scotland last week ahead of the runway show with her film director husband Charlie McDowell.
The 35-year-old took to Instagram to share a series of snaps from the day and also some of the incredible new looks from Dior’s new collection.
Celebrities and fashion icons from around the world jetted to Scotland yesterday to witness the collection for themselves, staying at the luxurious Gleneagles hotel and being treated to lavish goodie bags which Lily shared on her Instagram story.
The actress took to social media to thank Dior for the luxurious freebies that were given to them upon arrival as she showed fans the contents of their designer favour boxes.
Lily shared a snap of a series of Dior products including a tote bag, a t-shirt, a perfume and a book as she captioned it: “The sweetest welcome gift @Dior.”
It also came with several Gleneagles items including specialised bars of chocolate, shortbread and a jar of Scottish raspberry jam.
She uploaded another follow up snap with more goodies, tagging @DiorBeauty as she showed off multiple makeup products from the designer.
Lily appeared to be impressed with the new collection as she shared several pictures and a video of the runway performance, one which included a series of three bold red tartan designs.
She captioned the post: “What an emotional, stunning show” as she tagged @mariagraziachiuri who is the brand’s creative director.
Lily herself looked gorgeous as she opted for an all black outfit which featured a turtle neck top, a long dark bomber jacket, a midi skirt and Dior boots.
She wore her hair in a slick back style and accessorised with a pair of gold hoops.
Ms Chiuri has revealed that she took inspiration from Scotland’s national animal of the unicorn when designing the garments.
She revealed: “I was inspired by this beautiful tapestry at the Muse de Cluny in Paris – The Lady and the unicorn – one of the thirteen Unicorn Tapestries whose origins and iconography are shrouded in mystery. Presumably produced at the crossroads between the Middle Ages and the Renaissance, their precise meaning remains unknown.
“The figure of the lady is surrounded by floral elements and accompanied by the unicorn and other animals found in early medieval bestiaries – all of which are associated with different virtues such as purity and love.
“The unicorn is one of the primary elements of Celtic mythology associated with divine power, pride and strength.
“Chosen as the Scottish national animal since the 12th century, it symbolises purity and innocence, but also fortitude and independence – difficult to capture or conquer. Before the unification of the crowns, the Scottish emblem depicted two unicorns supporting a shield.
“When Scotland and England unified, one of the two unicorns was replaced with the lion, the English national animal.
“All of these symbols will be celebrated and reinterpreted in our next @Dior Cruise 2025 show which will be held at Drummond Castle Gardens on Monday 3rd of June.”
