When it comes to elegant at-home ensembles, a luxe lace slip dress will forever reign supreme.

Proving that point to perfection on Sunday night while on a weekend trip away to the City of Lights, was none other than Pam & Tommy actress and all-round It-Brit, Lily James.

The 35-year-old took to Instagram to share the wholesome yet posed snap, showcasing herself lying in a puddle of autumn sunshine on the floor of her hotel room, dressed in a sensual lace-trimmed, cream-toned slip dress.

The actress styled the low-cut lace option with her beloved customised gold  'J' necklace and a fresh, makeup-free face, leading fans to believe that she really is that beautiful when arising from a Parisian slumber.

Lace accents will forever be a fan favourite among the fashion elite, especially when it ‘tis the season. Just last week, the queen of sleek suiting Victoria Beckham layered a black bodysuit option under her black tuxedo jacket for a celebratory night out at her Dover Street store.

Other famed faces who love a touch of the delicate fabric include Sabrina Carpenter and Dua Lipa.

Dua was recently spotted walking through the streets of Tokyo with her beau Callum Turner in a LBD, knee-high boots and a set of black lace tights. Sabrina on the other hand, took a hiatus from her sequin-embellished 'Short ‘n Sweet' on-stage bodysuits to rock a white long-sleeve mini dress and a set of platform heels.

As a London-Surrey native, Lily knows all too well the need for a cosy ensemble come winter time. Just a few weeks, ago she traded in her winter sun-soaking slip dress for an It-Girl-approved shearling coat, jeans and snakeskin print boot combo to cuddle up around the fireplace at London’s famed 1Hotel in Mayfair.

Although the weather right now might not permit wearing a slip dress like Lily’s on its own, if you layer to perfection with tights, a cosy coat, a scarf and a woollen beanie, you’ll stay both warm and chic - guaranteed.
