Lily Allen Dazzles In Bold Lingerie Look Amid Divorce Details At 2025 Cfda Awards

Lily Allen Strikes a Pose at the 2025 CFDA Awards

Lily Allen certainly knows how to make a statement! The “Smile” singer, now 40, turned heads at the 2025 CFDA Awards held on November 3 at The American Museum of Natural History in New York City. Her daring outfit choice — a stunning, NSFW lingerie-inspired set — captured everyone's attention at the star-studded event. Among the famous faces attending were Rihanna, A$AP Rocky, Angel Reese, Eiza González, Michelle Williams, Teyana Taylor, Dove Cameron, and Addison Rae.

Allen's ensemble, crafted by designer Colleen Allen for their Spring/Summer 2026 Ready-to-Wear collection, featured a white silk bralette and maxi skirt. The bralette, a daring piece with delicate lace inserts, was held up by two slender straps. The skirt mirrored the lace pattern, with an alluring peek-a-boo back that blended silk and lace for a playful glimpse of skin. Adding a touch of elegance, Allen draped a white silk jacket over her shoulders, complementing the outfit with nude pumps, minimalist makeup, and a wispy hairstyle with bangs.

New Album and Reflections on a Public Split

This appearance comes hot on the heels of Allen's newest studio album, West End Girl, which delves into themes of infidelity and personal betrayal — experiences drawn from her recent separation from actor David Harbour. Married in 2020, Allen and Harbour's split was confirmed in February 2025. In the album, Allen provides a candid look at the emotional turmoil that accompanied the breakup.

“I wrote this record in 10 days in December and I feel very differently about the whole situation now,” said Allen, reflecting on her emotional journey since the split. “At the time, I was really trying to process things and that’s great in terms of the album, but I don’t feel confused or angry now. I don’t need revenge.”

Allen's words resonate through tracks like "Madeline," where she confronts the pain of infidelity, and "Sleepwalking," which discusses betrayal with raw honesty. Her creative output appears to be a form of catharsis, freeing her from past anger and confusion.

Halloween and Subtle Statements

Adding a twist of mystery, Allen's Halloween costume this year stirred speculation among fans. Dressed as Madeline — the main character from the beloved children's book series — her choice seemed to echo themes from her new album. A TikTok video of Allen in costume, set to Cardi B's "Magnet," playfully asked the question, “Who IS Madeline though, actually?”

With the release of West End Girl on October 24, Allen continues to captivate audiences both with her music and her bold public appearances. Her ability to weave personal stories into her art only deepens the intrigue surrounding her life and career.
