Lily James at event of Cinderella (2015)
2015 was full of princess moments for the charismatic Lily James — especially when it didn't work out for Amanda Seyfried to star in Cinderella and James emerged from a crowded field of actresses with the part. Combine that new-girl intrigue with a live-action fairy tale that made more than a half-billion dollars worldwide, and a new star is truly born.
Look for Lily to expand her fan base as Elizabeth Bennet in the upcoming Pride and Prejudice and Zombies.
