Lily Allen wows in eye catching white feather dress as she joins Alicia Vikander and Cate Blanchett at The Serpentine Gallery Summer Party

Daily Mail​4 days ago

Lily Allen made sure all eyes were on her as she posed up a storm at The Serpentine Gallery Summer Party in London on Tuesday evening.
The Smile hitmaker, 40, opted for a strapless black dress which was adorned with dramatic white feathers and white polka dots.
Accessorising with diamond dangly earrings, the singer showcased the results of her recent boob job which she underwent earlier this year following her split from husband David Harbour.
Lily was joined by actress Alicia Vikander who looked stunning in a cream dress adorned with a blue beaded floral pattern.
Meanwhile Cate Blanchett opted for a very quirky corset style top made out of sea shells.
The actress, 56, was covered in an array of shells as she paired the top with a frayed faded knee length skirt and nude heels.
Kelly Osbourne continued to show her recent weight loss in a simple strapless black dress which trailed along the ground.
Elsewhere Georgia May Jagger put on a very leggy display in a black mini dress as she posed with fashion designer David Koma.
The model, 33, left little to the imagination in the high-legged skirt while the top part of the dress featured a mesh panel and rose detailing.
Actress Rebel Wilson was also in attendance alongside her wife Ramona Agruma.
The Australian star, 45, opted for a white dress adorned with a gold leaf pattern, while her wife wore a blue velvet suit.
Jourdan Dunn looked sensational in a gold halter neck metallic dress with black strappy heels.
Joanne Froggatt wowed in a white satin slip dress which featured a high leg slit. She completed the look with see-through heels.
It comes after Lily was seen enjoying an apparent first date with J ames Norton as they put on a cosy display while watching Charli XCX on stage at Lido Festival in London earlier this month.
The singer, 40, and actor, 39, couldn't wipe the smiles off their faces as they stood together in the crowd and sipped non-alcoholic beers at the sell out show in Hackney's Victoria Park, after reportedly first meeting on celebrity dating app Raya.
A source told The Sun: 'Lily and James appeared to be on a date. They were together for the day and were chatting and laughing together as they watched Charli XCX. Lily was leaning into him at one point'.
'She and James seemed really relaxed together and she was really making him giggle. They were drinking non-alcoholic beer and queued at the bar like all the other punters. People were doing double-takes when they saw them together'.
Before adding: 'Because they're both on Raya it seems like they might have matched with each other'.
MailOnline have contacted Lily and James' reps for comment.
Lily ended her marriage to Stranger Things star husband David Harbour, 50, in December 2024 after four years of marriage, following her discovery he had a secret profile on Raya.
Harris Reed wore an all white suit (L) while Adot Gak (R) opted for a white strapless gown with jewelled embellishments
Mayor of London Sadiq Khan and Saadiya Khan also appeared in great spirits as they attended
Beth Ditto wore a white wool dress, black tights and silver heels
Meanwhile James is said to have split from model girlfriend Charlotte Rose Smith, 26, last month before being spotted back on the star-studded dating site.
Raya is so exclusive that it accepts only around eight per cent of applicants, but it has more than 10,000 members, with 100,000 on the waiting list.
James' Raya profile is said to feature photos of the Happy Valley star with a shaved head – a dramatic new look he's adopted for his upcoming role in Sunny Dancer, currently being filmed in Scotland with co-star Bella Ramsey.
The hunk, who is a strong contender to be the next James Bond, started dating Charlotte late last year and was pictured out with her on several occasions.
At the time, an insider told The Sun: 'They have been enjoying dates and seem very happy together.
'It has been a year since his relationship with [ex Imogen Potts] ended and he appears to get on so well with Charlotte. They make a lovely couple.'

Glastonbury shut stage down ahead of rappers' performance as they struggle with overcrowding again

GLASTONBURY Festival is dealing with a new overcrowding issue after declaring fans to AVOID one of the major stages. As Neil Young took to the main Pyramid stage as the headliner of the evening, pop fans have ditched the rocker in favour of other acts. Charli XCX i s set to perform on the Other Stage at 10.30pm, while American rapper Doechii will appear on the third biggest stage, Woodsies, at 10.45pm. 5 5 5 However, nearly an hour before the set was due to start, the crowd at Woodsies had got so big that they were forced to close access. The team simply posted a message on X (formerly Twitter), declaring: "No access to Woodsies. Please head to another area of the site - thank you." Doechii – who has topped the charts this year with her songs Denial Is A River and Anxiety – is still set to perform as planned. This is the second time Woodsies has been forced to shut down for crowd control – with Lorde's early Friday morning surprise set also causing chaos. The New Zealand singer appeared on stage to celebrate the release of her new album, Virgin, in a last minute appearance. So the news came as a massive annoyance to ticketholders, who have criticised the team for poor organisation. They've been particularly critical of putting big names like Charli XCX and Doechii against each other on the line-up, and on smaller stages that don't have the capacity needed for the crowd. "Terrible programming throughout, you need a massive re think for your next festival," wrote one. "doechii and charli clashing at glasto is EVIL WORK!!" said another. Glastonbury chaos as bosses are forced to SHUT part of festival as Lorde performs surprise set "Glastonbury really looked at all the vibrant amazing young artists around and said "nah, lets pump the big slots full of elderly white men". I'm not being funny but I'm struggling to stay awake for Doechii watching Neil Young..." noted a third. And a fourth said: "It's full to capacity? Nobody's at the Pyramid Stage for Neil Young. Everyone is either at Woodsies or the Other Stage for Charli XCX "Glastonbury has shit the bed a bit here. Field packed for Charli XCX. Woodsies closed an hour ahead of time for Scissor Sisters. Doechii still to come. Pyramid very sparse for Neil Young. Meanwhile PULP do an hour in the afternoon and fill the space" 5 5

As the BBC airs punk band's shocking chants, STEVE POLLARD asks: Has baiting Jews become the new national pastime?

The Glastonbury music festival bills itself as a celebration of all that is good in the world, with great artists communing with a crowd of 200,000 self-styled progressives, for whom the festival is a chance to wallow in their own goodness and smug sense of superiority. But nothing better illustrates the darkness that has entered the soul of today's progressives than the crowd's response yesterday to punk duo Bob Vylan, whose screams of 'Free, free Palestine ' and 'Death, death to the IDF' were chanted back with such fervour that the scene was like a 2025 version of Hitler's Nuremberg Rallies. The chant was 'Death, death to the IDF', but what they meant – because the IDF is the army of the world's only Jewish state – was 'Death, death to the Jews'. Imagine being a Jew at Glastonbury, knowing that you are hated by almost everyone around you. In Sasha Baron Cohen's satirical film, Borat, the character describes a game, 'Hunt the Jew'. Everyone laughed at that when the film came out in 2006. But yesterday's Glastonbury chanting showed that its satire is all too pointed. Imagine, I ask you, being a Jew in Britain. In the 20 months since 1,200 Jews were massacred by Hamas in Israel, the UK has seen a leap in anti-Semitic incidents. Between January and June last year there was a 41 per cent increase in assaults on Jews. But that is almost the least of it. The biggest impact in Britain of the October 7 attack has been the unleashing of this torrent of Jew-hate – the likes of which we saw yesterday. Every other week there are hate marches in London and elsewhere with chants to ' globalise the intifada' – to kill Jews, in other words. There is open support for Hamas and Hezbollah, not least by Kneecap, another band performing at Glastonbury. There is pure hatred and poison. But for Jews in Britain, the real point about all this is the double standard. Can you imagine if someone had stood on that stage and screamed 'Death to Muslims'? There would certainly – and quite rightly – have been anger from the crowd. But when it is Jews who are the target, they cheer. And where are the police? Whatever your views of Lucy Connolly's imprisonment after her Southport riot tweets, the double standard is shocking. The lead singer of Bob Vylan incited a mob. Will he be arrested, charged and prosecuted? There is, I suggest, not the slightest chance if the past 20 months of open anti-Semitism is anything to go by. For those who make a regular pilgrimage to Glastonbury, it is more than just a music festival – is a carnival of light and peace. Not for Jews. Palestinian flags fly everywhere. Leaders of Palestine Action – shortly and rightly to be proscribed as a terrorist organisation – are given a platform to spread their bile. The now infamous Kneecap rapper J J O Dochartaigh wore a 'We are all Palestine Action' T-shirt on stage and led a Free Palestine chant. Glastonbury, in reality, reflects the state of modern progressivism – a poisonous cocktail of anti-Israeli prejudice, support for Islamist terror and a moral calculus so warped that Nazi-style chanting is seen as upstanding and worthy.

Kneecap rapper tells Glastonbury he's a 'free man' after terror charge court appearance

Kneecap rapper Liam Og O hAnnaidh told Glastonbury he is a "free man" as the Irish rap band played to a huge crowd. O hAnnaidh, also known as Liam O'Hanna - or by his stage name Mo Chara - was charged with a terror offence in May and appeared at Westminster Magistrates' Court earlier this month. The 27-year-old is accused of displaying a flag in support of the proscribed group Hezbollah at a gig in London last November, after video footage circulated online. He was released on unconditional bail ahead of a second court appearance in August. Before their performance at Glastonbury there had been calls from some politicians for them to be cut from the line-up. But they were greeted by cheers of support, and dozens of Palestinian flags waving in the audience, as well as Irish flags and a few "Free Mo Chara" T-shirts. On stage, they said it was the biggest crowd they had ever played to. Kneecap played the West Holts stage, which has a capacity of about 30,000, and the area was closed by security about 45 minutes before their set. They started with a montage of news readers covering O hAnnaidh's charge. "Has anybody been watching the news?" bandmate Naoise O Caireallain joked. They also thanked Glastonbury organisers Michael Eavis and daughter Emily for not bowing to pressure to remove them from the bill. In reference to his bandmate's upcoming court date, O Caireallain, who performs under the name Moglai Bap, said they would "start a riot outside the courts", before clarifying: "No riots, just love and support, and support for Palestine." Earlier on Saturday, the BBC confirmed they would not be live-streaming the set but said the performance could be made available on-demand later. Before their set, rap-punk duo Bob Vylan also caused controversy, leading the crowd in chants of: "Free, free Palestine" and: "Death, death to the IDF (Israel Defence Forces)." Police said afterwards that they were assessing footage of both performances to decide whether any offences may have been committed. Culture Secretary Lisa Nandy has spoken to the BBC Director General about Bob Vylan's performance, a government spokesperson said. Kneecap were removed from other festivals earlier this year, and before Glastonbury there were calls from some for them to be taken off the bill - including from Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer. The rappers have had the support of dozens of musicians including Massive Attack, Pulp, Primal Scream and Paul Weller, who signed an open letter in May saying there had been a "concerted attempt to censor and ultimately de-platform" the group. Kneecap released their first single in 2017 and built a loyal fanbase in the following years. They rose to wider prominence in 2024 following the release of their debut album and eponymous film - a fictionalised retelling of how the band came together and their fight to save the Irish language.
