Lily Allen stunned in a figure-hugging black mesh dress as she attended the Royal Academy of Arts Summer Party in London on Wednesday night.
The 41-year-old singer flaunted her assets as she wore a feather boa, peep-toe heels and posed for pictures with her stylist and best friend Marco Capaldo.
Lily was unfazed by the negative comments about her latest breakup album which former husband David Harbour described as “weird” hours before the star-studded event.
Claudia Winkleman and her husband Kris Thykier arrived at the black-tie gathering along with Mia Regan, Alex Jones, Munya Chawawa, Nick Grimshaw, Jenna Coleman, Emma Thynn, Pixie Geldof, Vick Hope, Clara Amfo, Daisy Lowe, Grace Dent, Lady Amelia Spencer, Lady Eliza Spencer, Brian Cox, Lennon Gallagher, Munroe Bergdorf, Tali Lennox, Amber Anderson, Amelia Windsor, Ella Eyre, Oliver Proudlock and Emma Louise Connolly.
Lily Allen’s new album West End Girl is a follow up to her split from David Harbour, with one track even focusing on the “Madeline” who she claims stole her ex-husband.
“Tennis” is the first single from her latest record and sees her talking about a woman called Madeline who she alleges was having an affair with her ex.
“I think it’s very sad that a person would do something so selfish and cruel and manipulative and dishonest,” she said in the lyrics.
Allen’s latest album West End Girl has a number of tracks which include spoken word from Madeline, claiming that her relationship with David was purely sexual as she “thought you’d be okay with it”.
Harbour discussed the negative feedback he received regarding Lily’s new music in an interview which aired on Wednesday.
“She obviously wanted to make a piece of art that came from her, that told her story. I can respect that. But I know that it’s not my story,” he said.
“I think stories are complicated and it’s not my story to tell.”
The actor opened up about his mental health as he admitted that he “broke down” towards the end of last year and revealed that he has bipolar.
“There are peaks and troughs where I find it incredibly challenging, and when I’m in those spaces I can behave incredibly stupidly and embarrassingly and it’s horrible, but it’s not something that I can really control,” he added.
Harbour also addressed the tabloid speculation about his split from Lily as he said he will continue to make his music regardless of the negative comments.
“You can like me, not like me, write bad things about me, good things about me. It doesn’t really matter what you think about me. I’m going to try to put my best bits out there and make good stuff,” he said.
Allen and Harbour got married in Las Vegas in 2020 but split up later in 2025.
Their separation was made public in early this year.
The actor also commented on the alleged rows with his Stranger Things co-star Millie Bobby Brown, claiming that they ironed out their differences.
“We adored each other. We adore each other,” he said.
“We have disagreements, like anyone. We worked together for 10 years, like a family, so we had some things we needed to talk through, but we’re always going to be good.
“I think we’re really good friends, we always have been… and I think we’ll continue to work together.”
He also claimed that he and Millie had plans to work together in the future due to the “incredible” bond they had shared throughout their decade-long working relationship.
Lily Allen’s fictional “Madeline” is set to be one of the main talking points of her new album.
The singer dressed as the made-up character for Halloween last year.
