Her smile is the epitome of cheeky." Collins made her singing debut in the film, singing an English re-write of "I Believe (in Love)". Collins also starred in Stuck in Love in 2012, alongside Jennifer Connelly, Logan Lerman, and Greg Kinnear. 2013-2016: Ascend to prominence and critical acclaim

Another Netflix original show, 13 Reasons Why, was also accused of glamorising suicide, which influenced this controversy. Despite the film's controversial subject matter, Collins' portrayal of Ellen was praised as "exemplary work from Lily Collins in the central role." "In a different film, Ellen's sharp tongue might have made her an insufferable fount of wisecracking negativity," wrote Justin Chang of the Los Angeles Times, "but Collins' performance is subtler than that, and the script gives her ample opportunity to reveal the character's more complicated, vulnerable edges."

2017–present: Collins was also cast alongside Jake Gyllenhaal and Tilda Swinton in the Netflix drama film Okja, directed by Bong Joon-ho. At the 2017 Cannes Film Festival, the film competed for the Palme d'Or in the main competition section and received a four-minute standing ovation after its premiere.

In February 2018, they began filming the series in Belgium and Northern France. Collins' performance as Fantine was praised by critics and fans alike; Alexandra Pollard of The Independent wrote that "[Collins] plays the tragic Fantine with steeliness and grace," in a "magnificent" performance, while another critic stated that "Lily Collins does not sing her anguished soul out when she is abandoned by her lover. So much so that her emotionally rich performance wowed me from the start."

Collins co-starred with Zac Efron in Joe Berlinger's drama Extremely Wicked, Shockingly Evil, and Vile in 2019. She portrays Elizabeth Kendall, Ted Bundy's long-term girlfriend who struggles to accept her boyfriend's status as a serial killer.
