Lily Allen looks chic in a pale pink blazer minidress as she leaves the theatre after another successful performance of The Pillowman
The rain didn’t dampen Lily Allen’s spirits as she left the Duke Of York theatre in London on Wednesday night, after another performance of The Pillowman.
The singer, 38, flashed a wide smile as she was greeted by a flurry of fans who waited to get a glimpse of her as she left through the stage door.
Lily has taken on the role of Katurian, a writer of disturbingly violent stories who is imprisoned by a totalitarian state.
The Air Balloon hitmaker has been showing off her sense of style every night as she makes an outfit change and ditches her bloodied costume for a number of chic looks.
And Wednesday was no exception with Lily putting on a leggy display in a structured pale pink blazer minidress.

The singer sported a bronzed complexion and teamed the minidress with a pair of nude heels.
She managed to dodge the rain with the help of a fellow colleague who brandished a large umbrella and led her to her awaiting car, through the crowd of fans.
The Pillowman is Lily’s latest acting role after she appeared as Jenny in 2:22 A Ghost Story last year.
The songstress recently appeared on This Morning alongside her co-star Steve Pemberton to discuss the production.
She said: ‘There’s a bit of violence in it. She’s an artist and writer and that’s something I relate to. She definitely pushes boundaries. There was a lot for me to tap into.’
Lily, who is used to performing as a singer, told how she likes the settled nature of starring in a theatrical production.
She said: ‘I really like the routine of it all. I love being in one place. It’s nice not to get on a bus and move to the next destination.’
The role is a serious undertaking for Lily as she doesn’t leave the stage throughout the play’s duration.
She said: ‘There are so many lines. I started learning them in February. She reads out her stories. Five or six of her stories, I have to know off by heart.’

Steve also sang Lily’s praises, saying: ‘She’s absolutely smashing it. She carries the whole play because she never leaves the stage.’
Although she is enjoying her work, Lily said she has no desire for the play to receive an extended run as her children Ethel and Marnie are returning to school in September.
The play first premiered in 2003 and was written by Martin McDonagh who has since become known for films including The Banshees Of Inisherin and Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri.
The Pillowman will run for a limited time only, finishing in early September.
