Lily James Flips Her Stylish Script: From Downton Abbey to Racy Lingerie!
Lily James Dares to Bare: The Downton Abbey Star Trades in Her Modesty for a Sizzling Shoot
The usually demure Lily James is shaking off her prim and proper image, at least on paper. In a provocative new shoot for Defined Magazine, the 36-year-old actress strips down to lingerie, showcasing her sizzling physique in a series of scorching snaps.
After soaking up the sun in Europe this summer, Lily brought the heat back home with a daring photo spread that leaves little to the imagination. Gone are her ladylike ensembles and elegant glamour – replaced by racy outfits that leave us breathless.
The Downton Abbey star's lingerie looks are nothing short of stunning, with her white silk underwear set and black corset and suspenders sending our hearts racing. Who knew Lily had such a wild side? The PVC pants and silk bra layered over a knitted top combo is particularly tantalizing, flashing just the right amount of skin to keep us guessing.
But that's not all – Lily ups the ante with a racy leather trench coat paired with a boost-busting corset underneath. And if that weren't enough, she takes things to new heights by posing in a spray-on corset top with emerald earrings strategically placed where her nipples should be (or rather, shouldn't be).
This bold new look comes on the heels of Lily's candid interview with Who What Wear magazine, where she opens up about her love life. While she doesn't dish on any current beau, the Hollywood actress admits to feeling self-conscious about using dating apps – a sentiment that resonates with many.
"I was always in relationships when the [dating] apps started," Lily confesses. "Now, I just don't know. I feel a bit self-conscious. I try to stay really private, as private as I can. To be on a dating app feels a bit counterintuitive to that desire."
It's clear that Lily values her privacy above all else – but she's not afraid to take risks when it comes to her career. In the same interview, she reveals her biggest fear: getting older. "Life is finite," she says wistfully. "I only want to do stuff that I really care about... I want to spend time with the people I love."
The Tom & Pammy star's words are especially poignant given her latest project – a biopic about Bumble CEO and founder Whitney Wolfe Herd, who allegedly faced sexual harassment at her former company Tinder. Lily plays Whitney in Swiped, a film that sheds light on the darker side of online dating.
"I was pre-[actors] strike that I first read the script," Lily recalls. "I remember being so taken aback by Whitney Wolfe's story... Dating apps are so a part of our culture, whether you like it or not – they determine and dictate a lot of how we meet people."
Lily's commitment to authenticity is admirable, but her willingness to bare all on screen is undeniably captivating. As she trades in her modesty for more daring looks, one thing's clear: Lily James is ready to take center stage in more ways than one.
For now, fans can drool over the sizzling snaps in Defined Magazine – and perhaps draw inspiration from Lily's fearless approach to love and career. After all, as she so poignantly puts it, "life is finite" – and we're eager to see what this talented actress does next.
