Lily Looking Lovely

Lily Allen has some fun, funky music…but she is generally a pretty big trainwreck. Call me crazy, but I am slightly apprehensive of a girl who consistently looks like she’s drained all the cider from the nearest pub, has a cigarette in hand in probably every picture ever taken, and sports makeup that she doesn’t ever wash off, but instead just adds a new layer every morning.

Perhaps because of this generally consistent “style” of hers, I did not even realize that Lily Allen is that sensationally beautiful Brit in the new Chanel ads! I mean seriously – girlfriend looks absolutely stunning. She’s clean! She’s perky! She’s wearing chic ensembles!  Lily has made it known the past few years that she’s a die-hard Chanel fan, always carrying the quilted bags that somewhat clash with her otherwise British punk vibe, and frequenting the house’s runway shows. If I had to guess I’d say it is her mere dedication to the brand that landed her the coveted “face of Chanel” gig – because her personal aesthetic and lifestyle are so anti-Coco.

Doesn’t she look like a modern Audrey Hepburn? Maybe she’ll fall in the love with the pearls, LBDs and ruffles and spend more time cleaning up her look…Chanel can change a girl!
