Lily Collins was supported by husband Charlie McDowell as she left London’s Duke Of York’s Theatre following her latest performance in play Barcelona on Thursday.
The Emily In Paris star, 35, who made her West End debut in the show, wrapped up warm in an oversized teddy bear coat and scarf as she stopped to sign autographs.
Still sporting her glam stage make-up Lily also wore a grey baseball cap and appeared to be in great spirits as she flashed a huge smile.
Meanwhile film director Charlie, 41, who wed the actress in 2021, wore a padded orange jacket and knitted beanie as he carried his beloved wife’s bags.
The play, which stars Emily as a woman who embarks on a one night stand during a hen night in the Catalonian capital, has so far failed to impress critics – with The Independent quipping ‘Emily should have stayed in Paris’.

Annabel Nugent wrote of the two hander, in which she stars opposite Money Heist’s Alvaro Morte: ‘The star of Emily in Paris makes her West End debut in a play about another American abroad – but its contrived plot means that this story of two unhappy strangers fails to make an emotional impact’.
While Tom Wicker said in his two review in the The Stage: ‘Lily Collins of Emily in Paris makes her West End debut in this contrived, cliché-littered play’.
Meanwhile The Guardian’s Chris Wiegand, who also gave two stars, branded the play ‘awkward’ and ‘curiously flat’.
Lily and Álvaro are starring in the West End show for 12 weeks until January 11, 2025.
Before she made her debut in the play last month, Lily told the Telegraph: ‘I think one of the first things I said to you [Álvaro] was, “OK, I just want to be very honest, I’ve never done this.
“I’m so excited, but I’m also terrified – in the best way – and I want you to know that there are going to be moments when I’m stressed, I’m anxious, I’m nervous, I’m gonna doubt myself”.
Barcelona aims to keep audiences guessing and exploring the fantasy of who we pretend to be, versus the truth of who we are.
Set in 2009, late night in Barcelona, an American tourist [Lily] goes home with a handsome Spaniard [Álvaro].
