Is Lily making a bit of a burka of herself again?

- By Padraic Flanagan

SHE faced a backlash after posing in a burka as Afghanista­n fell to Taliban rule last month.

Now supermodel and Star Wars actress Lily Cole has been seen in another bizarre fashion choice – a multicolou­red coat, and white and pink flared trousers, – strutting through Notting Hill in West London.

The 33-year-old’s striking two-toned yellow and blue faux-fur long coat is by Acne Studios and costs a staggering £1,800. She completed her look with a pair of black running trainers.

Lily was forced to apologise last month for wearing a burka after critics said it was ill-advised given the unrest in Afghanista­n. She later said she understood why the image which she posted on Instagram, had upset people and wanted to ‘sincerely apologise for any offence caused’.

She added that it was ‘ill timed’ and said she ‘hadn’t read the news at the time’.
