Lily Collins wanted to wear her hair out of her face on her wedding day so that everyone could see all her “excitement and joy”.

The “Emily in Paris” star opted for an “earthier and wavier” look for her bridal hairstyle when she married Charlie McDowell in Colorado in September.

She told Allure: “I wanted my whole face to be seen, the excitement and joy and all that.”

Lily is known for her signature curtain bangs, but admitted that for a long time she didn’t have the “courage” to get her bangs cut.

She said: “I’ve wanted to do this for years but never had the courage to take the plunge.

“For me, hair is an extension of your personality and your sense of self. And when you’re ready for a change – like when I got my bangs cut.”

The 33-year-old actress added: “Now it feels like I’ve always had her.

“I got used to them very quickly.”

Meanwhile, Lily recently admitted that she wants to be “unrecognizable.”

The “Love, Rosie” star loves being “a chameleon” on screen and she also has “no problem” with being unrecognizable.

She explained: “I definitely see characters as a way to transform myself into a sort of chameleon, but I also use photo shoots, Met Balls, or big fashion and makeup and hair opportunities as moments to become someone else, or at least bring out a different side of my personality.

“And I don’t mind not being recognized. That’s what I want.”

Lily was initially hesitant to change her natural appearance for her early film roles.

She said: “I think it was my second film and I had to dye my hair red. I remember freaking out.”

However, their attitude has changed significantly over the years.

She said: “Suddenly I thought: ‘Oh, the floodgates are open. What do I do next?'”
