Lily Allen made a glamorous impression as she left London’s Duke of York’s Theater on Monday after her performance at The Pillowman.
The singer, 38, looked elegant in a pink satin dress that was cinched at the waist.
Actress Lily’s garment featured a square neckline and short pleated sleeves that ended at her elbows.
The skirt portion of the garment ended at her knee and she wore a tan pair of heels and carried a white handbag to complete her look.
Former pop star Lily looked a lot more casual on Sunday as she stepped out in London’s Notting Hill to meet friends for coffee while wearing slippers.

She was seen in a lightweight white sweater that she paired with black jeans and her brown indoor shoes.
The Pillowman is Lily’s latest acting role after appearing as Jenny in 2:22 A Ghost Story last year.
She has taken on the role of Katurian, a writer of disturbingly violent stories imprisoned by a totalitarian state.
However, the star admits that her work schedule has disrupted her relationship with her children – who she hasn’t spoken to in weeks.
She shares a home in New York City with husband David Harbor and her daughters, Ethel, 11, and Marnie, 10, from her former marriage to builder Sam Cooper.
But her starring role in a revival of Martin McDonagh’s The Pillowman at London’s Duke Of York Theater has kept her away from loved ones throughout its sustained three-month run.
Taking to Instagram on Monday, Lily admitted that it made her battle loneliness, exacerbated by attending her kids at a summer camp in the United States.
She wrote, “Hello Monday. 1 month to go from The Pillowman. I miss my house, I miss my bubbas who are both at summer camp, I haven’t even spoken to them in 2 weeks! tired and lonely, but the Banya always manages to get my blood going and cheer me up.”

Dramatic: Lily plays Katurian in The Pillowman, a writer of disturbingly violent stories held captive by a totalitarian state
The singer recently appeared on This Morning alongside her co-star Steve Pemberton to discuss the production.
She said, “There’s a little bit of violence in it. She’s an artist and a writer and that’s something I’ve identified with. She certainly pushes boundaries. There was much for me to draw from.’
Lily, who is used to performing as a singer, shared how she likes the fixed character of the leading role in a theater production.
She said, “I really like the routine of it all. I like to be in one place. It’s nice not to get on a bus and go to the next destination.’
The role is a serious undertaking for Lily, as she does not leave the stage for the entire duration of the play.

She said, ‘There are so many lines. I started learning them in February. She reads her stories. Five or six of her stories I must know by heart.’
Steve also sang Lily’s praises, saying, “She’s absolutely smashing it.” She wears the whole piece because she never leaves the stage.”
While she enjoys her work, Lily said she doesn’t want the piece to have a long run, as her children Ethel and Marnie are going back to school in September.
The Pillowman will only run for a limited time and will end in early September.
