Singer Lily Allen ushered in the festive season with a glamorous and risqué celebration at one of London's most iconic nightlife venues last night. The 40-year-old artist hosted a star-studded Christmas party at the legendary Stringfellows club in Covent Garden, turning heads in a show-stopping Santa-inspired ensemble.
A Festive Fashion Statement
True to her bold style, Allen commanded attention in a sultry festive outfit. She wore a snug red mini dress adorned with plush white fur trim and lace suspenders detailed with delicate bows. Completing the daring look was a luxurious velvety red Santa cape, which she wore with confidence. Her hair was styled in a sleek Sixties-inspired blow-dry, and she accessorised with a classic Chanel handbag and towering white heels featuring matching fur details.
The mischievous singer was in high spirits throughout the evening, captured playfully poking her tongue out while mingling with guests. She was seen hitting the dance floor with an array of famous friends, fully embracing the holiday revelry.
A Star-Studded Guest List
The party attracted a host of notable faces from the entertainment world. Pop sensation Olivia Rodrigo was among the attendees, sharing the dance floor with Allen. Singer Ella Eyre also made an appearance, turning heads in a sheer red stocking dress and posing for photographs with the host.
Further adding to the glittering guest list were Jordan Hewson, daughter of U2's Bono, and actor Charlie Condou from Coronation Street. The festivities reached a joyous peak when Allen sang along with the London Gay Men's Chorus, who performed at the celebration.
Celebrating a Personal and Professional Milestone
The festive party marks a significant year for Lily Allen, who has recently released new music following her separation from actor husband David Harbour. Her latest album, widely interpreted as a "revenge" album, explores themes of heartbreak and betrayal. Tracks such as "Tennis" and "Madeline" are believed to detail the breakdown of her marriage with poignant honesty.
Recorded in just ten days after her split last December, the album is her first musical release in seven years. The event at Stringfellows served as both a festive celebration and a personal victory lap for the artist.
The choice of venue was particularly fitting for such a glamorous affair. Stringfellows, the iconic gentlemen's club founded by Peter Stringfellow in the 1970s, has long been a notorious hub for celebrity indulgence and late-night revelry in the capital, hosting everyone from Hollywood A-listers to rock legends over the decades.
