SINCE debut single ‘Smile’ hit the airwaves in 2006 we’ve been fans of British singer, songwriter and new mum Lily Allen.
After eight years in the business it’s clear this sassy, outspoken lady is only getting better. That’s why she’s our pick for Women Crush Wednesday.
Scroll down to find out why.
She’s a down-to-earth diva

There’s a difference between actively seeking out what you want out of life and being nightmare-to-work-with diva. We love Allen because even though she regularly performs in front of thousands it hasn’t stopped her from laughing at herself and having fun.
She can get a celebrity selfie with any man in Hollywood

She’s happy (and proud!) to go makeup-free

The lesson here, for all those makeup-covered beauty queens, is that true beauty has nothing to do with mascara.

But then again … She’s got the best winged eyeliner in the biz.

Having said that, she’s not afraid to gussy up like a true stage goddess with her seriously styled winged eyeliner.
She’s a proud working mother

Proud new mum Allen has made no secret of how hard she has worked to get back to her pop career after having a family — and we love how supportive they are!

She LOVES Beyonce

We can’t think of anyone more fun to go to a Beyonce concert with. Allen rocked out with the 1D boy Liam Payne at this year’s Beyonce show.
She makes an otherwise posh event way more fun!

This year’s Met Ball Gala is the prime example of Allen’s ability to seek out fun and rock it to it’s fullest potential.
She loves trying new looks

Allen has fun with her look and clearly isn’t afraid of trying new things. From neon stripes to crazy troll-doll hair pieces, Allen will seemingly try anything once.
Nail art aficionado!
She’s nailed it … “@nailsbymh outdoes herself again!!!” Picture: Instagram

But seriously, Allen has taken to the nail art trend with gusto. Her Instagram followers will know the lengths Allen will go to better her last effort when it comes to a colourful manicure.
Lily just wants to have fun!

Who else is as seemingly relaxed, carefree and happy as Lily? From helicopter rides to the makeup chair — fun is the ultimate goal.
She’s got ‘It’ when it comes to photoshoots

All this style and pizzazz means nothing if she can’t connect with her fans via a good old fashioned glossy magazine cover. But she never fails to bring her ‘It’ factor.
