Lily Allen brought her A-game to Halloween this year.
The singer dressed as Madeline, the main character from the children’s book series. The look is also a nod to the media storm around the song “Madeline” on her latest album, West End Girl, in which the narrator confronts a woman named “Madeline” who slept with her husband.
Allen, 40, shared a video of her costume on TikTok on Nov. 1, vogueing to the song ‘Magnet’ by Cardi B.
@lilyallen Who IS Madeline though, actually? #westendgirl #halloween
Allen walked toward the camera wearing the character’s signature A-line blue coat, red bow and black Mary Janes with white ankle-high socks. She completed the look with an orange wig and a straw hat.
Allen wore the costume to Vas J Morgan and Michael Braun’s Halloween party at Chateau Marmont in Los Angeles on Oct. 31. Other stars there included Paris Hilton, Orlando Bloom, Kaia Gerber and Tiffany Haddish.
On her new track “Madeline,” Allen delivers a confrontational story about trust breaking down in a relationship.
In the song, she reaches out to “Madeline” – the woman she believes crossed a line in her open-marriage arrangement. She asks pointed questions like, “Is it just sex or is there emotion?”
Allen separated from her husband of five years, actor David Harbour, 50, in February. She’s said that her latest album “could be considered autofiction” – a genre that combines autobiography and fiction – in an interview with Perfect Magazine.
“There are things that are on the record that I experienced within my marriage, but that’s not to say that it’s all gospel. It is inspired by what went on in the relationship.”
She told British Vogue.
The album’s title track, “West End Girl,” features a man doubting Allen’s talent when she’s offered a role in a play.
In “Pussy Palace,” the narrator discovers that her partner had been using their second apartment for sexual encounters. She also questions if this person is a “sex addict.”
On “Dallas Major,” Allen sings about feeling like she was in an open marriage that wasn’t her choice.
Allen and Harbour were first linked in 2019 and married in Las Vegas in September 2020.
PEOPLE reached out to representatives for Allen and Harbour for comment on Sunday, Nov. 2, but didn’t receive an immediate response.
