Lily's appearances often cause a stir thanks to her effortless style – but none have sparked quite the reaction as her transformation into Pamela Anderson for Hulu's series in 2022. 

For her role, the British-born actress turned to personal trainer Matt Bevan to help her emulate Pamela's unforgettable physique in her iconic red swimsuit, and as you can see in the video below, Lily looked just as incredible.

"With Lily playing such an icon, there was always going to be a huge pressure to look as much like Pamela as possible," Matt previously told British Vogue. 

"But what I always feel is equally important is getting my clients to a place where they can perform their absolute best – that meant embodying Anderson's inner confidence and strength, as well as getting Lily as aesthetically close to accurately portraying her as possible." 

The duo worked together for four months to achieve the goal, but because of lockdown restrictions at the time, they were forced to train virtually. 

"We had to get creative and made use of light dumbbells, resistance bands, sliding discs, and towels,” he said. "Then we adjusted variables, such as the tempo of each exercise, stability, and range of motion.

"After that, we moved into full body strength, circuit-based workouts, increasing her strength and aerobic conditioning." 

It wasn't just the four or five weekly sessions that altered Lily's physique – she had to make changes to her diet too. 

"I worked out her calorific needs and then sent her a couple of weeks of sample menus with some recipes in, and Lily took ownership," Matt explained.

"We stuck to three meals a day and a couple of snacks. I don't like anyone to be limiting what they love, so she was allowed to have a treat or two weekly." 

Lily was so impressed with her transformation; she told Matt that she went from "zero to hero" when it comes to exercise. 

He added: "It can be difficult to change physically without real commitment – particularly with a goal like Pamela Anderson! But we trained consistently, and that’s exactly what we did."
