As shetravels the world promoting the Disney film, each outfit the 25-year-old star dons is betterthan the next. Lily told March’s InStyle, “I have to get dresses for 12premieres.” She first took our breath away duringthe Berlin Film Festival where she wore a gorgeous, strapless light pink gownfrom Christian Dior. Also in Berlin, she showed off a more casual but equallysophisticated look in Mary Katrantzou for the photo call.

Down inMexico City, the stunner took more fashion risks. She wore a Mary Katrantzou dress again for a photo call and wore a Prada sleeveless number to the premiere. Thestar had fun twirling her gown around on the carpet.

In New YorkCity, for several appearances, her looks were sleek and simple but still held our attention. At the Cinema Society screening on March 8, Lily chose acranberry colored Dolce & Gabbana dress that she paired with open-toe heels from Stuart Weitzman, who also hosted the fete.
