Lily Allen has always been the queen of quirky cool, and since growing up and becoming a mother she has combined her sense of fun with more sophisticated styles. Her dedication to fashion even saw her and sister Sarah start their own vintage clothes shop, Lucy in Disguise. Now a hotshot record label boss who has discovered promising acts like Tom Odell, Lily has been spotted in a series of outfits that suggest businesswoman with a bucket load of personality. This recent red and black ensemble is one of her best, so take note and find out how to steal her look.
Lady in red
The focal point of Lily’s outfit is clearly her fabulous red coat, which she picks out with her scarlet lipstick to create a cosy but glamorous look. For a winter warmer with stand-out colour and style, check out this asymmetric coat, one of a great range of women’s jackets at Littlewoods right now. The edgy cut is bang on trend and leaves room for all your favourite jumpers, so not only will you look fantastic but you’ll never be cold again! Every woman should own a red lipstick and if you don’t have one already it’s time to invest – apply plenty of this bold shade to brighten up a winter day.
Skinny love
Stay sleek by contrasting an oversized coat with a pair of skinny jeans. A simple black pair like Lily’s is best for a smart look. This high-rise version will gently hold in your tummy and the super soft fabric will keep you ultra comfortable as well as looking fantastic. If you’re not planning to take your coat off, you can even get away with jeggings for the ultimate in stylish comfort.
Tiger feet
Lily added an edgy touch to her black and red outfit with a pair of eye-catching leopard print peep-toe heels. Copy her trendy look with some big-cat print of your own: these leopard print South wedges are pretty and playful, offering a cheeky flash of toe. If you’re concerned about slipping on icy ground, stay stable and dignified with these cute leopard print flats.
Handbags and gladrags
For a practical finish to your outfit, make sure you can take everything you might need along with you by treating yourself to one of this season’s oversized handbags. Essential for busy mums and businesswomen alike, this is a style that continues to be fashionable as well as functional. This durable leather satchel from Fossil has a stylish vintage feel and the shoulder strap makes it easy to carry when your hands are full. Load it up with your purse, phone, lipstick and diary and you’re ready to go out and stun the world, just like the fabulous Lily.
