Lily James has called it - aubergine is the new It-hue for 2025.
Over the weekend, the British actress attended the Relay premiere during 2025 the Tribeca Festival in New York City. For the occasion, she looked to Stella McCartney to help conjure up the perfect occasionwear ensemble - with a helping hand from her trusty stylist Rebecca Corbin-Murray of course.
Lily slipped into a deep purple mini dress hailing from the designer’s autumn/winter 2025 ready-to-wear collection. Featuring long sleeves, exaggerated shoulders, a subtly raised neckline, ruching down the side and across the bust plus romantic gathering across the arms, the designer garment radiated contemporary romance.

Makeup-wise, the 36-year-old hit the red carpet with a natural yet polished beauty blend. A honied completion, thick, brushed-up brows, a pink lip and a touch of rose-tinted blush made for a softly feminine palette.

A white tank top was effortlessly layered underneath the two-piece, which made for a casual It-girl look. Lily once again reached for some all-black shades, this time opting for The Coline sunglasses by Jimmy Fairly.

For the poignant event, the 36-year-old slipped into a floor-skimming dress by none other than Victoria Beckham, complete with a deep aubergine colourway, cut-out detailing, romantic ruching and long sleeves.
