Lily Allen's Best Fashion Style

Lily Allen Ends Her West End Run in an Ultra-Plunging Red Gown and Sparkling Diamonds

Sep 4 2023

She burst onto the music scene in 2006 in an array of prom dresses and trainers, but Lily Allen's style has transformed over the years and she's fast becoming one of the best-dressed celebrities this year. The mum-of-two has recently ended her run starring in "The Pillowman" in London's West End and her post-show looks caught the attention of fashion fans far and wide.

Cute Elie Saab co-ords, plunging Philsophy blazers, and sheer-panelled Alessandra Rich gowns have made up Allen's wardrobe and so many of her looks have been added straight to our mood boards. Styled by Kyle De'Volle, Allen has ensured that every street really is a catwalk last summer.

She even addressed her new post-show looks on Instagram stories on 13 Aug. "The role that I'm doing is pretty harrowing it's nice to come off stage and transition into something glamorous, it really helps me separate from what's happened on stage," she wrote during an "Ask Me Anything". "Plus I'm very lucky and people send me wonderful things to wear people at stage door get a nicer picture and also sometimes I'm just THAT Bitch," she added.

Having recently revealed she's 4 years sober, the 38-year-old's career has been on an upward trajectory of late. Despite having had a tumultuous few years struggling with drug and alcohol abuse, the singer has married "Stranger Things" actor David Harbour and has been focussing on her acting career with a star turn in Sky's "Dreamland" earlier this year, as well as making her theatre debut last year in "2:22 A Ghost Story".

Now, she's not only setting the entertainment world alight, but the fashion world, too. Allen has never been afraid to experiment with her look, most recently dyeing her signature black hair to a bleach blonde bob. She rocked a glittery co-ord at the pre-BAFTA party in Feb. and posted a plunging purple Versace bra on Instagram in March as Allen embarks on her most stylish, confident era yet. Read ahead to see some of Allen's best looks this year.
