2025 has been a year ripe with fashion, music, culture and everything in between. One pivotal moment that includes all of the aforementioned was the release of Lily Allen's fifth studio album, West End Girl.
Released back in October, Lily's first album in seven years topped charts around the globe, with many of the tracks explaining in detail the downfall of her relationship with Stranger Things actor, David Harbour.
The British singer and songwriter has been nothing but vocal about her very public divorce and the alleged infidelity with a certain someone named Madeline, which ultimately triggered the end of her four-year marriage. Showing any signs of slowing down anytime soon, the London local joined the cast of Saturday Night Live for season 51, on Saturday, December 13th.
Taking to the stage to perform a selection of tracks from her new album, the 40-year-old icon called on her nearest and dearest actress friend Dakota Johnson to join her and play the controversial role of Madeline.

The strapless dress was made all the more alluring, thanks to the addition of a pair of sheer black tights, a set of pointed-toe pumps and a stack of diamond jewellery delights.
Her hair and makeup for the evening complemented her classic yet daring outfit option. Styling her long black locks and bangs out, voluminised at the root with heavy backcombing to create a 60s-inspired look. Her glam matched the energy of her ensemble, settling on a simple black winged cat eye liner, glowing skin and a touch of nude satin lipstick.
