Lily Collins couldn't wipe the smile off her face as she left the Duke Of York Theatre in London on Tuesday night.

The actress, 35, was met with a wave of fans following her performance in new West End show Barcelona.

Netflix star Emily looked relieved to finish the show as she signed autographs and took pictures with fans on her way out.

The Emily In Paris alum recently shared her nerves ahead of her West End debut as she admitted she was 'terrified' to perform in the show.

But taking it like a champ, Lily pulled out all the stops in the funny, American theatrical.

Lily stars alongside Money Heist star Álvaro Morte in Bess Wohl’s explosive two-hander Barcelona.

Before she made her debut in London earlier this 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].

What begins as a carefree, one-night stand becomes a high-stakes clash of intention and desire, as the personal and political intertwine.

Lily and Álvaro are starring in the West End show for 12 weeks until January 11, 2025.

Lily's husband Charlie McDowell was seen walking out their adorable dog after her performance.

The pair celebrated their three-year wedding anniversary last month with Lily sharing a tribute to him in a gushing Instagram post.

'Happy anniversary to the man who makes me laugh harder than anyone. Three years held in your arms has been the greatest gift' the actress penned.

'Barefaced and in a basic tee, you make me feel like the most special human on the planet. I adore you @charliemcdowell. More than I know how to say.

'Here's to countless incredible moments together (plus twinning photoshoots). And to think, the best is still to come…' she said at the end of the heartfelt post.'
