Lily Allen’s Lingerie Look at the CFDA Awards Extends the ‘West End Girl’ Moment

The red‑carpet return spotlights an acclaimed album that is fueling added 2026 U.K. theater dates.

Overview

  • Lily Allen appeared at the 2025 CFDA Fashion Awards in New York in a cream silk-and-lace bralette and matching skirt by Colleen Allen, a nominee for Google Shopping’s American Emerging Designer of the Year.
  • Her fifth album, West End Girl, released Oct. 24, draws on the collapse of her marriage and includes songs that reference alleged infidelity, including a figure called “Madeline.”
  • Coverage and fans characterized the CFDA look as revenge dressing, even as Allen has recently said she no longer feels confused or angry and does not seek revenge.
  • Allen announced a March 2026 U.K. theater tour performing the album in sequence, with a third London Palladium date added due to strong demand.
  • David Harbour has not issued a substantive response to the album’s claims, as reports surface of a prior internal Stranger Things set inquiry and several of his exes and collaborators signal support for Allen on social media.
