Lily Allen beams as she leaves theatre in Chanel star-print top alongside her husband David Harbour and children after performing in The Pillowman
Lily Allen beamed as she left the theatre on Monday night following a performance in The Pillowman.
The singer-turned-actress, 38, wore a Chanel star-print camisole and trousers as she left the Duke Of York theatre in London, while carrying a Hermes Birkin bag.
She was joined by her husband, Stranger Things actor David Harbour and her children Ethel, 11, and Marnie, 10, from her marriage to ex-husband Sam Cooper.
Lily was more than happy to sign autographs and take pictures with the fans after her family headed home.
After receiving critical acclaim for her West End debut in 2:22 A Ghost Story, Lily has proved she is keen to stick around in the world of theatre as she takes on a role in the first major rival of Martin McDonagh's Olivier award-winning play.

In a role that sees Lily cover the side of her face in blood, The Pillowman will run for a limited time only, finishing in early September.
The website states: 'In a totalitarian state a Writer is questioned by the authorities about a spate of murders that bear similarities to her short stories. Is this life imitating art or something more sinister?
'This black comedy widely regarded as one of the greatest plays of the past 25 years, examines the role of the artist in society and asks what price do we pay for freedom of expression.'
Lily is the first woman to take on the leading role of Katurian in the revival of the 2003 play, which follows the fiction writer as she is imprisoned by a totalitarian state.
Starring opposite Steve Pemberton, who plays Tupolski and Matthew Tennyson, who stars as Michael, Lily plays the role that had been previously played by David Tennant twenty years ago.
Speaking about the decision to cast a woman in the role, Lily told The Telegraph: 'I think it will add an extra layer of horror, because we're not used to seeing women being beaten up.
'It will be shocking, in that sense. I also feel that men don't necessarily get the same c**p for their artistic output that women do.'
The Pillowman follows Katurian as she is brutally questioned by authorities after a spate of murders bear similarities to her short stories.
