Lily Allen is almost as famous for her fashion choices as for her hit singles such as Smile and Not Fair. No one can forget her mix of frothy tulle dresses and trainers back in the 00’s.

Since then her tastes have of course evolved and last night she was the epitome of elegance, in a dark demure ensemble from Chanel while attending the 2022 Tribeca Film Festival Chanel Arts Dinner at Balthazar in New York.

Lily wore elegant lace to the Chanel dinner

The 37-year-old singer paired a sheep black top, with dramatic turtleneck in lace overlay with a box quilted velvet skirt from the maison. The look was finished with sheer tights and rounded Mary Jane heels, as well as a velvet mini-bucket bag, which boasted a bedazzled Chanel hardware.

Lily Allen opted for a monochrome manicure

For jewellery Lily opted for a pair of Chanel logo stud earrings, and delicate ear cuffs which lined her lobes. The songstress has been a longtime ambassador for the legendary French maison and was close to Karl Lagerfeld, who enlisted her to preform at several Chanel shows and events. Lily finished the look with her trademark jet-black hair swept up into a Hepburn-esque and an artfully undone fringe.

She hit the red carpet alongside other friends of the brand including Penelope Cruz who served pink perfection at Chanel’s dinner. The Spanish beauty opted for a pink silk dress from Chanel which she accessorised with a boxy-quilted Chanel handbag As for beauty, the star of cult classics such as Vicky Christina Barcelona and Blow left her raven locks loose and sported natural makeup which accentuated her famous brown eyes.
