Lily Allen is, in my opinion, the perfect kind of celebrity. For the most part, she keeps herself to herself, choosing to live her private life, well, privately—save for the limited insights she chooses to share with her fans (read: me) by way of her Instagram. However, when she’s working on a project, she gives it her all, and not just by way of work ethic. Allen is currently starring in the theatre show The Pillowman in London’s West End and every night, when she emerges from the stage door, she greets the waiting paps and show attendees in spectacular form. Seriously, just wait until you see these outfits.
In lieu of the baseball cap and sunglasses and sweats we see most actors flee in post-performance, Lily Allen, one of the founding fashion girls of her generation, is giving the people what they want; runway-ready looks that get better. Essentially, her nightly commute is doubling up as a very stylish promo tour. Her looks are glamorous, but not outrageously so. Between the tulle and the tailoring, they evoke an old-school Hollywood nostalgia we so rarely see on the street-style circuit; one which has reminded me of the joy that comes with really getting dressed up.
Through her outfits, Lily Allen has begun ticking off every major autumn trend as she goes. From leather column skirts to cute knitwear solutions, her The Pillowman outfits will become a reference point for many fashion devotees, yourself included, for the coming season. To ensure you have access to them all in one place, I’ve chronicled them for you below, along with some sensible shopping options to allow you to mimic her style. Enjoy.
