She graduated from Harvard-Westlake School and attended the University of Southern California, majoring in broadcast journalism.[8]

§Career[edit] Collins began acting at the age of two[9]in the BBC series Growing Pains.[10] As a teenager, Collins wrote a column (titled NY Confidential) for the British magazine Elle Girl.[11] She has also written for Seventeen,[12] Teen Vogue,[13] and the Los Angeles Times magazines.[14] She was selected by Chanel to wear one of its gowns at the 2007 Bal des Débutantes (a charity ball) at the Hôtel de Crillon in Paris, which was featured on season 3 of the reality television show The Hills.[11][15] She was picked by Spain's Glamour magazine in 2008 as their International Model of the Year[16] and appeared on the magazine's cover in August 2009.

Collins covered the 2008 US Presidential campaign as a host on the Nickelodeon show Kids Pick the President.[14][17] She won a 2008 Young Hollywood Award for Newest Red Carpet Correspondent.[18] She has appeared in two episodes of the teen drama series 90210, including the 2008–09 season finale.

Collins played Snow White in Mirror Mirror, an adaptation of the Snow White fairytale, co-starring Julia Roberts. Robbie Collin from the British newspaper The Daily Telegraph wrote: "She has an adorable, sensational, almost perfect face for cinema; think Audrey Hepburn with the eyebrows of Liam Gallagher. Her smile is the platonic ideal of cheeky."[23] She made her singing debut in the film, performing an English re-written cover of "I Believe (in Love)".

Collins was reportedly cast as the lead in the remake Evil Dead, but dropped out due to a scheduling issue.[24][25] In March 2012, it was announced that Collins would take the role of Samantha in Stuck in Love, starring alongside Jennifer Connelly, Logan Lerman, and Greg Kinnear.[26] Collins starred as Clary Fray in The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones, a film adaptation of the first book in the New York Times best-selling The Mortal Instruments novels, by Cassandra Clare.[27] In October 2013, Collins appeared in the music video for "City of Angels" by Thirty Seconds to Mars.[28]

§Personal life[edit] Collins is the half-sister of actress Joely Collins and musician Simon Collins from her father's first marriage, and Nicholas and Matthew Collins from her father's third marriage. She does not like to discuss her relationships publicly due to witnessing the difficulties caused by the media coverage of her parents' separation.[29]
