For the wholesome moment, Lily wore her strawberry blonde tresses tie up into a high messy bun, tucking her two curtain bangs behind her ears. She clasped a pair of cat-eye sunglasses to help shield her face from the golden sunset that painted the vista.

Lily is partial to a jungle-themed look 

Jungle-themed attire has become a popular motif within the fashion industry over the years. Jennifer Lopez sparked a media storm when she hit the Versace runway for the fashion house's SS20 collection in a number inspired by her iconic tropical print 2000 Grammy Awards dress.

The star swapped her Versace gowns for explorer attire

Dolce & Gabbana were another brand to hop onto the jungle bandwagon, sending a host of models out in utilitarian and animal-printed garments for their SS20 collection held in Milan. Leafy greens, pineapple patterns and zebra stripes merged to create a kaleidoscope of wilderness-inspired outfits.

Perhaps most famously and simultaneously controversially, the great late Lee McQueen took inspiration from the tropics for his 1997 ready-to-wear collection titled 'It's A Jungle Out There.' McQueen juxtaposed real animal skin with horns, studs and distressed denim to craft shocking yet innovative ensembles. His models' feral aesthetics were topped off with animalist makeup blends and crazed hairstyles.
