You know her as Lady Rose, the troublemaker on Downton Abbey, and you’ve swooned over the beautiful ball gown she’ll wear in Cinderella, which hits theaters this March. But what else is there to know about Lily James, aside from the fact that her acting career is totally taking off?
For InStyle UK‘s January issue, Lily dished on everything from her love life to the advice Helena Bonham Carter once offered her: “Have one breakdown a week; it makes people know you’re not a robot and remember that you’re human.”
Human she may be, but the stunning, red-hot designs Lily modeled in her shoot – from a perfectly tailored coat with lace-up detail to a romantic strapless dress – made her appear somewhat otherworldly. She’s a princess with a touch of attitude and a whole lot of staying power.
Plus, she’s not the only one making power moves. Keep reading to see both Taylor Swift and Reese Witherspoon work it on not one but two covers, Kim Kardashian strip down for Elle UK, and more stylish stars cover January’s magazines.
