Lily Allen was supported at the latest perfomance of her West End play The Pillowman by ex step dad Harry Enfield.
The singer-turned-actress, 38, was spotted as she left the Duke Of York Theatre alongside the comedian on Friday.
Funny man Harry, 62, was in a relationship with Lily’s mother Alison Owen, 62, for three years in the 90s and helped raise Lily and her actor brother Alfie, 36.
Following the show Lily displayed her unique sense of style in a figure-hugging midi-dress emblazoned with a psychedelics print.
She completed the look with quirky blue wellington style boots and a neon green handbag over her shoulder.

She appeared make-up free following the perfomance with her blonde tresses styled loose.
Meanwhile Harry cut a casual figure in a white shirt which he teamed with chinos and brown suede shoes.
Sporting a pair of black rimmed spectacles he sipped on a bottle of water as he exited the theatre.
It has been reported over the years that Harry’s iconic ‘Kevin The Teenager’ character – known for his stroppy behaviour – was based on Lily and her brother Alfie.
Lily’s father is actor Keith Allen, who left the family when Lily was just four in 1989. In her 2018 memoir My Thoughts Exactly she wrote about his departure.
She penned: ‘One of my earliest memories is of when Mum and Dad split up. We were in our council flat in Bloomsbury…
‘Dad was saying: “Me and Mum are splitting up now.” ‘I was about four and I was thinking: “Does that mean we’ve got to look for a new dad?” It was very hard for Mum. She was producing her first film and my brother, Alfie, was a difficult kid.’
It was then that she met Harry, with whom she enjoyed their three year romance.

In 2010, Harry spoke about his relationship with fame and how he has advised Lily – as well as the keen interest in their relationship.
Speaking about the nature of fame, he said to The Guardian: ‘You have to do loads of interviews. It’s like what happened to Lily [Allen] when she got famous…
‘Suddenly Lily’s bloody everywhere and she’s doing every bloody interview, because you’re told to. You’re young and you do it. It’s only later you get a bit savvy.’
When asked if he told Lily to ‘keep her counsel?’, he went on: ‘Yeah. No, it’s good [that I’m asked about Lily rather than my three biological children]…
‘I don’t want my kids talked about. It’s one of the reasons I thought that if I could just make a go of being a writer, that would be good, because I don’t really want my kids growing up with me famous.’
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.
