Lily Allen’s Lingerie-Inspired Look Turns Heads at CFDA Awards

The appearance extends the rollout of West End Girl, a confessional album that has revived interest in her work.

Overview

  • Allen arrived at New York’s American Museum of Natural History for the 2025 CFDA Fashion Awards in an all‑ivory look from Colleen Allen’s spring 2026 collection, walking the carpet with the designer.
  • The ensemble featured a lace‑trimmed bralette, a silk maxi skirt with a sheer lace back panel, and an oversized satin coat, finished with nude heels and an updo.
  • Multiple outlets characterized the moment as “revenge dressing,” even as Allen recently told Interview she doesn’t feel angry now and “doesn’t need revenge.”
  • Her fifth album, West End Girl, released Oct. 24, mixes fact and fiction about a marriage breakdown and infidelity, and she has said she wrote it in about 10 days last December.
  • Allen’s post‑release momentum includes a U.K. theatre tour set for March 2026, with an extra London Palladium date added due to strong demand.
