Lily Allen, 40, drew attention Tuesday at the Tribeca Chanel Women's Filmmaker Program luncheon in New York City, appearing in a blue denim corset and black satin wide-leg trousers.
The singer paired the structured corset with black pointed stiletto heels and carried a small Chanel handbag. She completed the look with gold-tinted sunglasses and wore her dark hair in a tousled updo while posing for photographers outside the Italian restaurant Locanda Verde, where the private event was held.
Allen appeared in good spirits at the luncheon. The mini Chanel bag she carried has been reported to retail between £4,800 and £5,500. Organizers billed the gathering as part of the Tribeca Chanel Women's Filmmaker Program, a year-round initiative that supports filmmakers.
The outing comes as Allen prepares to leave the Brooklyn townhouse she moved into in 2020. She and actor David Harbour, 50, moved into the art deco property shortly after their Las Vegas wedding; the home was featured in Architectural Digest. Allen confirmed her split from Harbour in January, and publications reported late last year that the couple had separated. Reports also have said Allen publicly alleged earlier this year that Harbour had maintained a dating profile on the celebrity app Raya; those accounts described Allen’s discovery of what she said was a secret profile.
Allen has said she bought an “ex-council flat” in London and has focused on decorating the property, which she plans to share with her two daughters. Speaking on her Miss Me? podcast in March, she said the flat is in the area where she grew up and described the purchase as giving herself a "get out clause" while acknowledging potential judgment from others. "I have wanted to live in this building since I was a baby, it’s been a dream of mine forever, and finally a flat became available in here and I was in a position to buy it and I did," she said on the show.
Earlier this year, Allen discussed feelings of loneliness in New York after the separation. In May she told listeners she had been "feeling incredibly low" and earlier described feeling "extremely heavy" and that she "doesn't have that much to do here" in the city.
Allen first rose to prominence in the mid-2000s with hits such as "Smile" and has since balanced a recording career with public commentary, podcasting and family life. The Chanel luncheon in Tribeca marked another public appearance as she prepares to relocate and continue work on personal and creative projects.
