Lily Allen epitomised high-fashion glamour on Tuesday evening, making a stunning appearance at an exclusive De Beers London soirée. The event, held at the prestigious Hôtel d’Évreux, formed a glittering highlight of Paris Fashion Week, drawing a constellation of stars to the French capital.
A Dazzling Display of Style and Jewellery
The celebrated singer, now 40, showcased her svelte figure in a sophisticated black minidress. The chic ensemble featured an elegant off-the-shoulder neckline, perfectly framing her décolletage and allowing her long legs to take centre stage. However, it was her breathtaking array of diamond accessories that truly captured the spotlight.
Allen adorned herself with a magnificent collection of De Beers jewels, ensuring all eyes remained firmly upon her. Her look was elevated by a substantial sparkling ring, dramatic chandelier earrings, and a particularly striking statement necklace that cascaded elegantly down her back. Completing this striking aesthetic, she added a pair of sleek leather evening gloves, introducing an edgy contrast to the overall elegance. She swept her hair back, creating a clean canvas to showcase the dazzling jewellery to full effect.
Star-Studded Performances and Company
The West End Girl hitmaker didn't just attend; she treated the illustrious gathering to a special live performance, serenading the crowd with her distinctive vocals. Her set was followed by energetic DJ performances from Agathe Mougin and Sydney Lima, keeping the luxurious atmosphere alive.
Throughout the lavish bash, Allen appeared to be thoroughly enjoying herself. She was photographed sharing laughter and conversation with a notable group of friends, including actress Chase Infiniti and renowned models Jodie Turner-Smith and Adwoa Aboah. The group happily took turns showcasing the evening's stunning jewellery pieces, adding to the event's celebratory and fashionable mood.
Romantic Developments with Jonah Freud
While Lily arrived at the De Beers event unaccompanied, her departure told a different story. She was later seen leaving the venue alongside her new romantic interest, writer Jonah Freud. The 28-year-old was spotted following the pop star as she made a stylish exit, now wrapped in a sophisticated black leather trench coat against the Parisian night.
This public appearance adds another chapter to their budding relationship, which has been developing since last year. Jonah Freud is the son of entrepreneur Matthew Freud and his ex-wife Caroline Hutton, and the nephew of the late, celebrated artist Lucian Freud. Their romance emerges following the breakdown of Allen's marriage to actor David Harbour, a separation that profoundly influenced her recent musical work.
A Relationship Gaining Momentum
The pair have been spotted on numerous occasions, steadily confirming speculation about their connection. They recently escalated their relationship by jetting off to Rome for a romantic mini-break. Reports indicate they stayed in a suite at the luxurious Hotel Locarno, estimated to cost approximately £800 per night, and were seen enjoying a casual coffee date outside the famous Sant' Eustachio Caffè.
An eyewitness recounted the sighting, noting, "We walked past her and it was my daughter-in-law who recognised her and went, 'Oh my God, it's Lily Allen.' We did a double take, and it was definitely her, she was with Jonah Freud. They were just having a coffee and a cigarette together."
This Paris outing follows closely on the heels of their appearance at Lily's celebrity-packed Christmas party at London's Stringfellow's last month. Photographs from that evening showed the couple with their arms wrapped around each other, culminating in a kiss shared in front of other guests, images later acquired by TMZ.
The confirmation of their relationship ends weeks of mounting speculation, which began after they were pictured enjoying an intimate, cosy-looking dinner date at the Michelin-starred Dorian restaurant in Notting Hill, West London. On that occasion, they were seen chatting and laughing for over two hours before departing separately. As an old friend of the Freud family, Allen's connection to Jonah has deep roots, with the pair also photographed together at an Oasis party held at the Chiltern Firehouse back in September.
