All eyes were on Lily Allen when she
walked the red carpet at the NME awards 2014 on Wednesday. The singer
was awarded with a gong for Best Solo Artist at the prestigious event,
beating Kanye West and David Bowie. The star headed to London's 02 Brixton Academy and wore an eccentric sixties-style shift dress and threw a bright furry jacket over her shoulder.
She was in high spirits as she arrived at the event, where Arctic Monkeys, Damon Albarn, Paul McCartney and Blondie also attended.

NME awards at London's Brixton academy on Wednesday night wearing a
colourful ensemble
Lily, who is enjoying her time back in the limelight showed off her slim figure in her mini dress which was made up of orange, black and white panels.
She gave herself some extra inches by throwing on an iridescent white pair of sky-high stilettos which complemented her tanned legs and she carried a pricey black Louis Vuitton bag.
But perhaps the most striking item of all was the green and blue furry jacket that she threw over one shoulder like some type of stole.

Strutting her stuff: The singer looked happy and confident as she posed for pictures
Lily always pays close to attention to
detail and was sporting a green, yellow and red manicure. She wore her
black and blue hair up in an Audrey-Hepburn style 'do. The
singer took to her Twitter page earlier in the day to hit back at those
who had been criticising her over her mothering skills, after her busy
few weeks in the spotlight. She wrote: 'good morning, i'm getting alot of nasty messages in my feed about my children. Thank you for your concern, but i assure you they are fine.'
No doubt she was happy to put the incident behind her and enjoy her night.
