Her 2025 saw the remarkable success of her heartbreak album West End Girl.
So Lily Allen had plenty to celebrate as she welcomed 2026 on Wednesday evening, as she started her evening in a slinky dress before heading to bed.
Taking to Instagram, the stunner, 40, shared a video showing her strutting through a venue in a backless pink and orange dress.
She then documented the end of her evening, with an image of her Christian Louboutin mules, Fendi Baguette and her Happy New Year headband.
Having concluded her evening, Lily then snapped selfies from her bed while sporting a pair of black pyjamas and the novelty hairband.

She looked sensational in her bold ensemble
Lily looked jaw-dropping in the dress, which made the most of her figure as she enjoyed her evening in the restaurant before heading home.
Her festivities come after Lily looked carefree as she cruised around the Cayman Islands in a £300-an-hour Jet Car during her lavish holiday on Tuesday.
The singer jetted off on a luxury trip away with her two children and friends, influencer Dylan Mulvaney and Heartstopper star Joe Locke.
Lily spent the day soaking up the sun while enjoying watersports around Western Caribbean with her two pals.
Snaps shared on Instagram showed the hitmaker having the time of her life with actor Joe, 22, and transgender TikTok star Dylan, 29.
Lily, who recently revealed she has been having therapy for a spending addiction, spared no expense on her holiday despite swerving a fancy airport lounge.
As she travelled to her holiday destination on Sunday, Lily decided to sit with the public instead of a private airport lounge.
She took to Instagram to share a bare-faced selfie as she sat with her daughters Ethel, 14, and Marnie, 12, at the departure gate.

However as Lily posed in her glasses and burgundy baseball cap, her daughter looked slightly embarrassed as she watched while resting her chin on her hand.
Lily’s decision to not check into a private lounge comes after she revealed she is undergoing therapy for ‘shopping like an insane person’ to celebrate her latest success.
The star has splashed the cash ‘convinced she is a billionaire’ since the release of her latest album, but is now receiving treatment for her spending addiction.
Returning to her Miss Me? podcast for a Christmas special with co-host and best friend Miquita Oliver, Lily revealed all the lavish items she has purchased – including a £120,000 Porsche and a £16,500 Hermes bag.
‘I’m just playing with my huge diamond and emerald ring, I bought myself a little present but it’s not that little,’ she said.
‘You’ve got to treat yourself and mark the moment. I’m convinced I’m a billionaire. Handbags have been bought, jewels and a car has been bought.’
The singer told how she has been in eye movement desensitisation and reprocessing (EMDR) therapy for the past four months due to her spending habits.

According to the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, EMDR helps people to recover from past experiences that are affecting their mental health and wellbeing.
Using side to side eye movements combined with talk therapy, it is designed to help process negative images, emotions, beliefs and body sensations associated with traumatic memories that appear stuck and can contribute to a range of issues.
Describing it as ‘life changing’, Lily said: ‘You usually start by deciding an area, like a traumatic experience you want to focus on, and visualise the experience and identify the feelings that are coming up in your body and mind, and the pain levels go down.
‘If you’re trying to stop a negative behaviour like spending or drug taking, you do the opposite and think of the good feeling and try and dissociate that feeling from your self-worth.’

She added: ‘In my case a handbag, you separate it by saying this handbag is making me a better person. It is really interesting… I’m not clear on the science but it is working for me.’
Lily has had a tough year since her ‘devastating’ split from Stranger Things actor husband David Harbour, 50, at the end of 2024.
Her latest album West End Girl, which was released in October to rave reviews, details her recovery from her marriage break-up.
And after weeks of speculation that she is in a relationship with writer Jonah Freud, 28, the pair were spotted kissing at a Christmas party in London last week.
Lily was seen cosying up to Freud, son of entrepreneur Matthew Freud and ex-wife Caroline Hutton, at Stringfellows nightclub, before they shared a kiss.
