'I auditioned for it, but I've been so excited for Kristen. I think that story is so different than ours and the girls are so different.
'She's perfect for her version, and I'm really excited to be doing this one and I think they have totally different audiences.'
And the film also had another perk in that she got to work with her idol, Julia Roberts, who plays the Evil Queen.
'Julia was amazing. Her laugh and smile - that's classic Julia and she brings that to the movie, but she puts a twist on it because she's evil,' Lily said.

'She's got that same "America's Sweetheart" smile and laugh, but it's so evil and it's just the mental mind games and the eye contact and she was so gracious on and off set and we had a great time.
'We just had a laugh. In between takes she'd be like, 'I'm so sorry for being so mean,' and then we'd start laughing.'
