For the ceremony, Lilly picked a black outfit paired with a smart blazer and accessorized her look with multiple chain neckpieces and hoop earrings. She posed on the red carpet, wearing her I Stand With Farmers mask.
In December, in a video, she urged her massive global fan base to “Stop!” and get informed about the “largest human protest in history” in India.
“I’ve been talking a lot about farmers’ protest happening in India. Long story short, farmers are protesting new agriculture bills that affect their livelihood and they have been peacefully protesting but have not met with not so peaceful responses,” Singh of “Superwoman” fame had said, pledging her support to the farmers and “right to protest peacefully”.
