MTV Networks’ NextMovie.com named her one of the “Breakout Stars to Watch for in 2011”. She co-starred in the 2011 action film Abduction with Taylor Lautner. Collins played Snow White in Mirror, an adaptation of the Snow White fairy tale, co-starring Julia Roberts. Robbie Collin from British newspaper The Telegraph wrote, “She has an adorable, sensational, almost perfect face for cinema; think Audrey Hepburn with the eyebrows of Liam Gallagher. Her smile is the Platonic ideal of cheeky.” She made her singing debut in the film, performing an English re-written cover of “I Believe (in Love)”.
Collins was reportedly cast as the lead in the remake Evil Dead, but dropped out due to a scheduling issue. In March 2012, it was announced that Collins would take the role of Samantha in Stuck in Love, starring alongside Jennifer Connelly, Logan Lerman, and Greg Kinnear.

Speaking in an interview with the September issue of GLAMOUR UK, she explained: ‘For a while it was just the two of us. Then came co-star Robert Sheehan. Its funny because theyre so different. ‘Robert is so enthusiastic and so Irish and Jamie is so British, edgy, witty and charming. The three of us were joking all the time.’ And while she joked that on-screen kissing is ‘super awkward’, Lily – the daughter of British musician Phil Collins – admitted she can understand why so many co-stars fall in love on set, as she and Jamie have.
She added: ‘In terms of kissing, I promise you that it is super awkward and super unsexy because everyones staring. ‘People are cast because they have chemistry. Youre spending 24-hour days together and its intense plus you really get to know the best and worst sides of people the rawest sides of people. ‘Youre perfect for the role because you have that connection with each other and sometimes that translates into more.’ However, Lily conceded that being part of a franchise that is being dubbed the next Twilight means that her ‘private life can’t always remain private’.
Posing in a stunning high-fashion shoot, she added to GLAMOUR: ‘I entered into this business knowing your private life cant always remain private. ‘I dont feel the need to profess anything publicly or confirm something that in a normal situation you wouldnt have to speak out about. ‘If Im out and Im photographed with someone, then that is what it is. We took that chance and whatever. It is what it is.’
