Lily Allen couldn't have us more dazzled by her fabulous array of costumes and looks while she's across the Atlantic on tour with her latest album, West End Girl.

While over in the US, Lily has been visited by a slew of A-listers, the latest being Hollywood actress and self-confessed long-term friend, Gwyneth Paltrow, who was pictured popping backstage to see the singer in her dressing room.

The Madeline singer, 40, looked spectacular in a photo of the interaction, which appeared on the Marty Supreme star's Instagram Stories alongside the caption, "Best night, absolutely incredible show. Have known Lily since she was a little girl."

Lily was dressed in a gorgeous lace slip in a champagne hue of nude. The glamorous piece featured lace panels and a structured corset-style top. Meanwhile, Gwyneth channelled 'low-key' chic in an oversized black blazer, accessorising her look with a pair of silver hoops.

The moment may come as a surprise to some fans who didn't know the pair were close friends. 

Back in 2018, Lily previously shared how she and Gwyneth crossed paths during her alcohol addiction. 

Detailing the encounter in her memoir My Thoughts Exactly, she said: "I was very, very drunk and I head-butted something behind Orlando Bloom and knocked myself out.

Lily went on to give more context, telling E!: "Then Chris Martin, who is a friend of mine, and Gwyneth, who is a close friend of my mom, drove me home. He [Chris] left a Post-it note on my fridge just saying, 'Give me a call tomorrow.' I did."

"We went for lunch and he said, 'I don't think you're in a great place right now, Lily, are you? Here's the number of someone that can help.' They [Chris and Gwyneth] are great people."

Lily's sartorial streak

While we have been gushing over the singer's onstage looks, one rare moment of R & R saw Lily show off her impeccably toned physique in a killer swimwear look.

Basking in the sunshine, the pop princess was a spring vision, rocking a vibrant yellow swimsuit with a matching bucket hat. Showing off her fabulously toned legs, while sitting back, relaxing and reading Lena Dunham's book, Famesick.

"Where am I?" Lily wrote in the caption, completing her sun-ready look with immaculately manicured toenails in a vibrant shade of red.
