Lily Collins is a big fan of Victoria Beckham. She is a lifelong admirer of the Spice Girls, a famous band, of which the latter, known there as Posh Girl, is a member.
Given this history, Jimmy Fallon, on whose late-night show the Emily in Paris star was appearing, decided to give her a surprise of a lifetime.
As the pair opens up about Lily having the same iconic bob haircut that Victoria had years ago, the host then pulls a surprise.
Out of the blue, he brought the fashion designer, leaving the actress gasping, as she had just said she had never met David Beckham's wife before.
While on stage, Jimmy asked Victoria how she got her famous nickname, Posh. Chiming in, Lily also quips, "I've always wanted to know that too."
"Well, I was given that nickname because I used to like nice clothes and nice restaurants," she says, adding, "In actual fact, it really helped me out because in the Spice Girls, the other girls didn't like designer clothes."
"So when we would do videos or go on stage, they were happy to just wear all the free stuff, and I got all the budget."
On the other hand, Emily in Paris is set to release its fifth season on Dec 18, starring Lily, whose synopsis reads, "Now the head of Agence Grateau Rome, Emily faces professional and romantic challenges as she adapts to life in a new city."
“But just as everything falls into place, a work idea backfires, and the fallout cascades into heartbreak and career setbacks. Seeking stability, Emily leans into her French lifestyle until a big secret threatens one of her closest relationships.”
“Tackling conflict with honesty, Emily emerges with deeper connections, renewed clarity, and a readiness to embrace new possibilities.”
