LILY Allen has used Halloween as another opportunity to slam her ex-husband, David Harbour, by dressing up as his alleged mistress.
The Smile singer has been in the headlines this week after her comeback album, West End Girl, chronicled the downfall of their marriage, including accusations of his cheating.
Lily partied up at a storm at the infamous Chateau Marmont hotel in Los Angeles on Friday, where she dressed up as the beloved children’s book character, Madeline.
Many would recognise the eponymous character from the series by Ludwig Bemelmans, including the iconic yellow hat and blue dress complete with a white Peter Pan collar and red ribbon.
The singer replicated the look complete with an orange bob-cut wig, calf-length white socks, black Mary Jane shoes and a coveted, red Birkin handbag.
Her outfit was a likely nod to the lyric on her new album that refers to David’s alleged mistress, where she asks “and who’s Madeline?”
The lyric is from the song aptly named, Madeline, which Lily released as the album’s first single earlier on Friday.
While Lily has accused the Stranger Things actor of infidelity with someone called Madeline – she has stressed the record is a combination of fact and fiction.
The song has created a huge buzz ever since, with one interviewer just bluntly asking Lily, “Who the f**k is Madeline?”.
It has been put in the same lane as Dolly Parton classic Jolene, which sees the country star plead with an attractive woman not to steal her man, and Beyoncé’s Sorry, in which she takes aim at ‘Becky with the good hair‘ after husband Jay-Z admitted to being unfaithful.
Meanwhile, the the real life “Madeline” has spoken out, with New Orleans based costume designer Natalie Tippett, 34, claiming to have been involved in the fling.
Stranger Things star David and Natalie reportedly began an affair while working on 2021 film We Have A Ghost, and he later allegedly flew Natalie to his home in Atlanta, Georgia.
He had married Lily the previous year in a Las Vegas ceremony.
Speaking from her home in New Orleans’ historic Treme district, Natalie told Daily Mail she was the woman behind “Madeline”.
When approached by Daily Mail, Natalie said: “Of course I’ve heard the song.
“But I have a family and things to protect.
“I have a two-and-a-half-year-old daughter, and I understand this is going on.
“It’s a little bit scary for me.”
The affair reportedly came to light when Lily found an incriminating text on David’s phone.
The discovery inspired several tracks on her new album, which details betrayal and heartbreak.
Natalie declined to discuss the lyrics further, saying: “Yeah… I just don’t feel comfortable talking about it at the moment.”
The Sun contacted Lily and David’s reps for comment at the time.
