Lily Allen dons a slinky gown for New Year’s Eve celebrations before changing into pyjamas and snapping celebratory selfies in bed

Her 2025 saw the remarkable success of her heartbreak album West End Girl.

Lily Allen had a lot to celebrate as she rang in 2026 on Wednesday night. She started the evening wearing a stylish dress and ended it relaxing in bed.

The 40-year-old actress shared a video on Instagram of herself walking through an event in a pink and orange dress with an open back.

She finished her night by sharing a photo of her outfit, including her Christian Louboutin shoes, Fendi Baguette bag, and a ‘Happy New Year’ headband.

After finishing her evening routine, Lily took some selfies from bed, wearing black pajamas and a fun hairband.

Lily looked stunning in the dress, which flattered her figure as she enjoyed a night out at the restaurant before going home.

Lily’s celebrations follow a recent luxurious vacation where she was seen enjoying herself on a Jet Car—rented for £300 per hour—while exploring the Cayman Islands on Tuesday.

The singer took a luxurious vacation with her two children, along with influencer Dylan Mulvaney and actor Joe Locke from the show Heartstopper.

Lily and two friends had a sunny day filled with watersports in the Western Caribbean.

Pictures posted on Instagram revealed the singer enjoying herself with actor Joe, age 22, and TikTok personality Dylan, 29.

As someone who follows lifestyle trends, it’s always interesting to see how people navigate personal challenges. I recently learned about Lily, who’s been openly working on a spending addiction in therapy, and it struck me how she approached her recent holiday. Despite choosing to skip the luxury of an airport lounge, she clearly didn’t hold back on enjoying the trip itself – a really relatable mix of self-awareness and self-indulgence, if you ask me!

On Sunday, while heading to her vacation spot, Lily chose to sit in the main terminal area rather than a private lounge at the airport.

I love seeing celebrities keep it real! Recently, a wonderful actress shared a totally natural, makeup-free selfie while waiting at the airport with her two daughters, Ethel, 14, and Marnie, 12. It’s so refreshing to see them embracing authenticity, especially while traveling. It reminded me that beautiful moments are often the simplest ones, shared with the people we love.

Lily struck a pose, wearing glasses and a burgundy baseball cap. Her daughter, watching with her chin resting on her hand, seemed a little embarrassed.

Lily recently shared she’s in therapy to address compulsive shopping after using it to celebrate a recent achievement, and has decided against using a private lounge as a result.

Since her new album came out, the celebrity has been spending lavishly, reportedly believing she had immense wealth. However, she is now seeking help for a spending problem.

Lily shared details about her recent expensive purchases—like a £120,000 Porsche and a £16,500 Hermes bag—during a Christmas special of her ‘Miss Me?’ podcast, which she co-hosts with her best friend, Miquita Oliver.

She laughed, showing off a large diamond and emerald ring. ‘I treated myself,’ she explained, ‘and it wasn’t a small gift!’

It’s important to celebrate and enjoy special occasions. I feel incredibly successful – like a billionaire, in fact! I’ve been celebrating by buying myself some nice things, including handbags, jewelry, and a new car.

The singer revealed she’s been undergoing EMDR therapy for the last four months to address issues with her spending.

The British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy explains that EMDR therapy can help people heal from difficult past experiences and improve their mental health.

I’ve been learning about this amazing therapy that really seems to help people work through trauma. It combines talking about what happened with specific eye movements – basically, gently moving your eyes from side to side. It’s designed to unlock those really tough memories that feel frozen and are causing ongoing problems with feelings, beliefs, and even physical sensations. It’s like it helps your brain reprocess everything so you can finally start to heal.

Lily described the process as ‘life-changing,’ explaining that it typically begins by choosing a difficult memory or experience to work through. You then visualize that experience, paying attention to the feelings and sensations that arise in your body and mind, which can help reduce the intensity of the pain.

Okay, so I’ve been really trying to understand this, and it’s like, if someone’s caught in a bad cycle – like, constantly shopping or, even worse, struggling with something really serious – the trick isn’t just stopping it, you know? It’s about actively focusing on the good feeling they get from it, and then, this is the crucial part, realizing that feeling doesn’t define who they are. It’s like separating the action from their value as a person. It’s so clever, honestly, and I think it could really help someone break free!

She explained that she justifies her purchases, like a handbag, by telling herself it helps her become a better person. While she doesn’t understand why it works, she feels it genuinely does.

It’s been really hard watching Lily this past year. After her split from David Harbour at the end of 2024, which honestly felt so devastating, she’s understandably been going through a lot. As a fan, you just want to see her happy, and it’s been tough to see her navigate this.

Her new album, West End Girl, came out in October and has been getting fantastic reviews. It tells the story of her healing process after her divorce.

After weeks of rumors about a romance with writer Jonah Freud, 28, she was seen kissing him at a Christmas party in London last week.

I couldn’t believe my eyes! I spotted Lily getting really close to Matthew Freud’s son, Freud, at Stringfellows. They seemed to be having a great time, and then, wow, they actually kissed! It was definitely a surprising moment to witness.
