Lily James channels nineties glam in glittering chainmail mini dress

If anyone is partial to a glitterbomb look, then it's Lily James. Whether donning a lacy Versace gown dusted with sparkles to the Oscars or a cut-out number to the Met Gala, the actress never misses an opportunity to go all out on the glitter front.

LOOK: Lily James is the ultimate It-girl in retro slip dress

The star has recently been treating us to a host of throwback photos from her days on set starring as Pamela Anderson on the hit show Pam and Tommy. She reshared an image posted by the show's costume designer Kameron Lennox, looking truly dazzling in a lilac chainmail dress.

Lily wore her blonde hair up in a wild high bun, letting her thick blonde wisps cascade around her face. She sported a typical Pamela Anderson makeup blend – a thickly lined dark lip, a heavy smoky eye, sharp, thin brows and a matte layer of sun-kissed foundation.
