Lily-Rose Depp may be a Chanel girl through and through, but when she’s not on set she favours a low-key look. Since her new show The Idol landed on our screens, Johnny Depp’s daughter and eldest child has delighted with multiple public appearances – take her LBD Chanel moment at Cannes Film Festival last week for example.  

Stripping it back, the model-turned-actress celebrated her rumoured girlfriend’s birthday in jeans on Tuesday. Lily-Rose took to social media to share some intimate snaps of her and musician Danielle Balbuena writing “Happy birthday love of my life,” via her Instagram Stories.

The official synopsis reads: "After a nervous breakdown derailed Jocelyn’s last tour, she’s determined to claim her rightful status as the greatest and sexiest pop star in America. Her passions are reignited by Tedros, a nightclub impresario with a sordid past. Will her romantic awakening take her to glorious new heights or the deepest and darkest depths of her soul?"

The Idol has been surrounded by controversy due to reported behind-the-scenes drama, where the original director Amy Seimetz was replaced with Sam, who reshot major portions of it. According to IndieWire, sources claimed that show bosses wanted the show to go in a different direction and that it was "leaning too much into a female perspective", which led to the show being rewritten. The show was also slammed by some critics, who called it gratuitous.
