Lily James gave a rare glimpse of her tattoos as she hit the red carpet in a boldly cut black dress at a Disney event on Monday evening.
The 36-year-old actress looked incredible in the racy number as she showed off her toned stomach in a halter neck crop top and matching low skirt.
As she turned to show off the back of her backless cutout suit, Lily showed off her tiny back tattoos; One of the number nines was on her shoulder and the other was shaped like a dandelion on the back of her arm.
It’s unknown what the tattoos mean or when he got them, but photos dating back to June 2025 show the star has been sporting the number nine for some time.
To complete her outfit, the Cinderella actress elevated her figure with towering black heels and accessorized with silver drop earrings.
Styled her long locks in waves, Lily smiled as she posed at The Walt Disney Company’s Emmy Season Toast To TV party held at Soho House Holloway.
