Lily Allen’s style has earned her a legion of fans, and has received both praise and snubs from the world’s biggest fashionistas.
However, when it comes to personal style, Lily has it in buckets and cares very little about what others think. We show you how to pick up on some of Lily’s hottest fashion cues, while still keeping your own personal sense of style!
Lily Allen Street Wear Lily’s day-to-day look is a mix of pop culture, punk and rock influences. Keeping things comfortable, she is more likely to be spotted in dresses or skirts than anything else. During the day she goes for more outlandish patterns and dressed down fabrics like printed jersey. A huge fan of sneakers, she is more often than not spotted in the sneaker of the moment (everything from Air Force Ones to Limited Edition Adidas and Puma designs). For those of us who like the sneaker idea but in a more streamlined shape, don’t be afraid to substitute these out for the sleeker styles of Converse or fashion sneakers.
Dress: Mink Pink Yoked Dress $99.95 from Wild Pair (3) Headband: Thick Ribbon Headband $8.00 from SUPRÉ (1) Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star Seasonal Nautical Blue $90.00 from Converse Stockists (2)
Lily Allen Dressed Up But Down The signature Lily Allen style comes to the fore red carpet at events. While others in front of the camera don high glamour gowns matched with Louboutins and super exclusive handbags – Lily’s style is all about a glammed up version of her day wear. Her shorter dresses are replaced with longer gowns, often in bold colours and featuring prom like or vintage touches. Sometimes she swaps the sneakers for vintage boots or little flats.
Dress: Laura Swing Dress $135.00 from Rita Sue (3) Belt: Round Buckle Weave Belt $30.00 from SUPRÉ (1) Shoes: Mi Piaci Esmeralda $300.00 from Mi Piaci (2)
Lily Allen Red Carpet The fashion set have had a lot to say about Lily’s red carpet attire and it’s not all overly positive. While we might not all condone ball dresses with sneakers – to say that this is the only style that Lily has is a little short sighted! Lily can roll with fashion in designer footwear and beautiful dresses just like the rest of them. To get her style, mix elements of her individual look (vintage inspiration, bright colours and fun prints) with stylish evening wear to get a quirky yet polished look.
Dress: Emerge Satin Wrap Trim Dress $59.95 from Ezibuy (1) Handbag: Equip Tweed Clutch $55.00 from Strand Bags (2) Shoes: Mi Piaci Sabra $180.00 from Mi Piaci (3)
Lily Allen Hair and Beauty When it comes to hair and beauty, Lily does not take herself too seriously. She is often spotted with crazy makeup colours and messed up hair with little ribbon ties or girly clips. Mix and match is the call of the day and a sense of youthful fun means her makeup and hair looks are easy to achieve even for the novice. Lily loves a dramatic eye – use smokey kohl eyeliner to define the eye without looking too heavy. A traditional smokey eye done in brighter tones (blues, peaches and pinks) gives a new twist to an old classic.
