How Do We Say This Delicately????
Filed under: Anglophilia > Lily Allen > Fashion Smashion
Lily Allen has just been named the new face of Agent Provocateur.
No joke.
Sell out. Sell out. Sell out. Sell out!
You know, we were all cool when she decided to come out with her own (unique) fashion line in the U.K., but this is a bit much.
Wasn't it just a few months ago that Lily was crying on her blog about being a fat pig? Didn't she say she was happy with herself how she was????
And now that she's lost a little bit of weight she's going to star in a lingerie campaign??? What kind of message is she sending to young girls???
The British singer shot the upcoming spring/summer 2008 Agent Provocateur campaign in London this past weekend.
According to the Mirror, Agent Provocateur owners Serena Rees and Joe Corre were after a younger, fresher image. "They feel her natural, voluptuous curves will appeal to a lot of women," commented an insider. "She is in amazing shape - down from a size 14 to a size 8 - and the pictures of her are sensational."
Lily's dropped almost HALF her weight????
Doesn't look like that to us!

You don't know how dress sizes work, huh.
going from a size 14 to a size 8 does not mean she dropped almost half her weight. she probably went from around 160 to around 130 depending on her height.
Really?? Who cares about this person. Stop posting crap on her and Kylie Monogue because no one gives a shit about them.

Uh… That fat pigs need to lose weight?
Well she is better than Maggie Gylanhaal. But I just don't see Lily as sexy enough for AP.
don't bull perez this is an old picture and dropping 3 dress sizes is not losing half your body weight.
GET A RECENT PICTURE.
Dropping 3 sizes does NOT mean that she lost half her weight. It just means she dropped about 20 lbs, maybe a bit more.
But she still has that BUTTER FACE!
She's making PHOTOSHOP some big bucks! HAHA!
EWE! GROSS!
A size 14 to a size 8 would not be half her weight. It would be more like 25-30lbs. I think it's an interesting choice. I wanna see the pictures!
Didn't this fat-ass just slam Victoria Beckham for the same thing? Hippocritical and ugly too!
Going from a size 14 to a size 8 does not mean you've lost half your weight. A few pounds will drop you a full dress size. Duh!
HOW?
…Dropping half your sizes doesn't mean you dropped half your weight.
Why do they lie? I hate when they do that.
i
She didn't drop half her weight, going from a size 14 to 8 would be dropping about 30 pounds, probably less since she's short. Each size drop is about 10 pounds, and the sizes are even numbered so the ones in between don't count as a size.
That is NOT how it works. Lily could have lost only 20 pounds and gone down that much in size. Each size in only one-half an inch different. So, you can see that with 20-30 pounds she could have done that. However, Size 8 is small. I know, I know….Hollywood thinks that anyone overa 4 is fat…whatever, unless you are like a 16 you are not fat. It is simply how the camera perceives you.
You should follow her example!
You know, Perez, it really bothers me that YOU are the one being the sell out. You used to sing Lily's praises and you even were chummy with her, PRIOR to befriending Amy Winehouse. What does that say about you?
How quickly they turn. I'm glad I'm not your "friend"…I'd always be watching my back.
soo what, let the girl make money. What is wrong with that?
Perez… going from a size 14 to a size 8 doesn't equate to losing half of your weight. If the UK sizes are anything like US sizes, that's about 40 pounds on her frame.
She lost the weight with hypnosis! Hypnosis rules for lifestyle changes that stick.
Dress size does not correspond to gross body weight. I think there is 10 - 12 lbs per size and the sizes skip odd numbers, 8, 10, 12, 14 , 16. So going from a 14 to an 8 means she lost 30 - 40 lbs, imho.
No way is she a size 8, dream on Lily.
Hey… Dropping from a 14 to an 8 isnt like dropping half her weight… It's more like going from a Large to a Medium, or around 6 inches overall. Girl sizes are just weird.
But i'd be happy to see her in a lingerie campaign. I'm a size 8 and i'm sick of seeing only size 0 girls in them. Makes you feel like you're not really able to wear lingerie, because its not made for you. Well, something like that.
Going from 14 to 8 isn't half her weight. o.o
Perez… going from a size 14 to a size 8 does not equate losing half of your weight. If UK sizes are anything like US sizes, that's about 40lbs for her frame. If dress sizes worked like what you're saying… a size 0 would be non-existant. Think about it.
I like her new refined look. I used to think she may be a lesbian, but not anymore.
Whats the big deal? She is modeling for a high end lingerie co. I would love to do that.
You know Perez, some people don't wanna stay fat. Stop hating and join a gym.
Black is slimming? Look at those tree trunks!
Lily is finally at a place where she wants to enjoy her fame and beauty, size 14 or 8. Stop hating on her for accepting a business proposition. How is it 'selling out' when the whole point of all the hard work was to become rich and famous exactly? Perez, I love your site but your now constant mean-spirited hipocrisy towards starts whose ass you used to kiss is childish as hell.
look, i'm a british girl and her at a uk size 14 is actually the average for women in this country! Fair enough she's chosen to lose some weight but i do think shes sending out very mixed messages!!
one minute shes saying how glad she is not to be as thin as kate moss and the like and the next shes losing all this weight and saying how much happier she is!
make up your mid luv!
I think its great. There's nothing wrong with feeling sexy in your own skin. She was unhappy being heavier… she's dropped some and feels good. Don't rain on her parade, P!
I used to like Lilly thought she was fresh, new and orginal with and nice sound but then she has to shout off that big mouth of hers and slag off evrybody…. oh what is Victoria Beckham famous for.. ummm being in the biggest girlband in history.. something maybe she aspires to which is why she is always slagging her off!! shut ure gob lily!!!! this girl is a bigger ellout as any of the other celebs!!
OK Perez…leave Lilly alone!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It's about fucking time that a lady with a few curves will be in magazines. Maybe now young people who see the ads won't see an anorexic bag of bones trying to look sexy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and no…i don't have a weight issue…I HAVE A HUUUUUUUUGE ISSUE WITH ANOREXIC LOOKING MODELS BEING HELD UP AS THE STANDRD FOR ALL GIRLS TO ASSPIRE TO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
LOL that's sizes not stones, Perez!
Perez, you are a petty, jealous cunt.
lily allen does not exist in the future.
Look, for all you ppl out there who don't know, a uk size 14 is apparantly the average for women here!
I just think lily is a very confused young woman! One minute shes mouthing off about how women are too obsessed with being thin, the next shes losing weight and saying how much happier she is!!? make up your mind luv!
speaking of fat………….
yeah poor sell-out (?) lily will join the likes of kate moss & dita to be a model
for the coolest most uncomprimising lingerie lines in the world. a line that
worships vargas girls……
do you even know wtF your talking about…? its kinda like when you said "did janice d.
even know versace??"…yes fatty……she was in one of his first international campaigns back in the eighties shot by richard avedon. one of many.
yo time is gonna end soon …. look @ rona barrett.
There is no way she is a size 8 UK… 10 at the lowest, and that's a nice healthy size (perfect 10)
Since when is a size 8 voluptuous? Sure, a size 8 is hot (I'm a size
but how warped is it that nowadays a size 8 is called voluptuous. That moniker used to be save for size 12 & above.
Never heard of her.
Meh. I'm disappointed in Lily, too.
They'll just airbrush a bit more than usual.
she is such a hypocrite. before she lost weight all she did was rag on other girls who were careful about their weight, she laughed about fashion and said it was stupid and that women were dumb for buying into it. I don't like her anymore.
Perez,
Really? Those that live in glass houses ….. Dude, you're the biggest sell out around! If VH1 or MTV come a calling here comes Perez with his tongue handing out. Sad…. very sad Perez.
I'm surprised nobody has mentioned this, but a UK 14 is a US 10, and a UK 8 is a US 4. That's probably about 20 pounds as people have mentioned, and that is an old ass picture that has nothing to do with how she looks now. I love how quickly Perez turns on people. Class.
Ohhh stop being such a hater…you know if you went from being morbidly obese to being a normal weight you'd be the first one in a 2xist ad begging us to look at you. The girl got healthy andp should be praised
She still is a fugly pig. She is not a great person to advertise Agent Provocateur. Most people hate her.
when the fuck was lily allen a size 14? honestly. and you people need to realize that lilly allen was someone who once said selling yourself through magazines and stuff was stupid and she will never be one of those people. if you havent noticed her changing her views than maybe you should look more into it before you start beefin to perez.
Re: Chase –
You mean: here comes Perez with his tongue straight up their ass.
Perez, you too have sold out. From not buying into hollywood fame and celebrity, down to TV, red carpet, and club appearances.
You have made a living from talking about celebrities and by showing your nasty attitude time and again over people you claimed to like. Except for Paris Hilton. That worked the other way around. You hated her first, then wouldn't even mention her going to jail. You didn't even voice an opinion. Why?
Because again, you sold out. You started to make friends in hollywood high places and have done the same thing you accuse other celebrities of doing. You too just want to be famous and wealthy.
Seems it takes one to know one.
She might have got a bit thinner, but she's still ugly as fuck.
Perez, you would sell out in a minute just like that if anyone was stupid enough to want your fat ass in their commercials. You are a total hypocrite.
BTW, I was at the "Best In Drag Show" in Los Angeles when you were introduced and loudly booed by the entire audience. Hilarious, you asshole.
from the pic above, it doesn't look like she's lost any weight - in fact, it looks like she's picked up a few extra lbs.
I thought that was RUMER WILLIS
She's a trip, a total hypocrite. She has criticized Posh and others for self-promotion and fame whoring, and she's the biggest self-promoter and fame whore of all. Unbelievably full of shit, attention-seeking hag.
It's not like she was a proud fat chic…she was ashamed of her body and now she's not and wants to show it off!! Good for her!! It's all gravy (literally) for Beth Ditto to walk around like she's proud of her body. What about her heart? What about her overall health. I bet she'll be real proud of her body when she's lying on a table having open heart surgery at 40 years old.
Coming from a size 8 girl, I can safely say going from a size 14 to a size 8 may not be a massive weight loss but it is a huge change from her old size, and from the pictures I've seen recently, she's lost the extra pounds.
i think she's beautiful.
OH IN THE NAME OF THE UNHOLY FUCK SOMEBODY PLS KILL ME ALREADY. IM CONVINCED THIS WOMAN HAS THE DOWNS SYNDROME JUST LOOK AT HER. HER CAREER CRASHED A LOOOONG-ASS TIME AGO WHEN SHE STARTED DOING THOSE CHILDISH SONGS WHICH SOUNDED FUCKIN GAY. IM DROPPING SOME MAD WISDOM ON YOUR ASSHOLES HERE BUT YOU IGNORE IT
Are you blind ??? She looks bigger than EVER here
:O nooooooooo she cnt be the face of AP!! thats sooo wrong, god i don't like her!! luv u tho perez! mwah xXx
WHO FUCKING CARES?!?! SHE LOOKS GRREAT!
It looks like all her weight just moved into her legs. It is easy to guess her age, just cut off one of her legs and count the rings.
perez your just jealous because you're a fat ass. you are sending a good message? everytime i see you, i put my food down because i do NOT want to end up looking like a fat nasty slob such as yourself. have you seen yourself on TV? just ride the wave buddy because it will soon come to an end.
I think she looks cute. So sue me.
uhmmm,excuse me?u gotta be fucking kidding me,she looks like she should model a peanut britle or whatever u spell it..she's ugly! this just proves,no matter how ugly and ordinary u look,if you're a celebrity,u can model anything,even u look like shit..lily allen is a fucking scumbag,what a cunt!
why does she get press?
she lost weight?!
where? off her little toe?
regardless of weight loss, it still hasn't altered the mess of her face.
the only thing worse than her rancid face is that the fact that she is a contradictory whore.
I bet she will be DARLING…
no way is she a size 8, im half her size and a size 8 sometimes even 10. who is she trying to kid, have you seen the size of her legs haha
shut the fuck up perez! lose some of your weight you fucking fatass!
Re: hanna –
you are a moron.
Re: lies –
It was taken 10 days ago at the BFI London Film Festival, that recent enough for you?
photoshopped mayyyyyyte stop making crap up!!!!!!!!!!!
FYI going from a size 14 to an 8 DOESN"T mean you drop half of your body weight you dip shit
I'll be waiting for the photo shoot to be released!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
She's not lost half her weight, she's dropped from a US 10 to a 4! She looked amazing in pictures in last Sunday's YOU magazine, a bit airbrushed, but she'll be fab for Agent Provocateur.
Um so if a guy dropped from a 38 to a 32 he lost almost half his weight?
Come on, you must have more of a grip than that, P.
Get your facts straight, P, and don't let your cynicism overwhelm your reason. The insider commented that Lily has gone from a size 14 to a size 8 - NOT that she's dropped half her weight. There's a difference, which you would know if you yourself ever looked into weight loss. She could easily be doing strength training to tone her body and replace fat stores with muscle. If this is the case, then she would NOT be dropping half her weight because as we all know, muscle weighs more than fat. She would simply be less bulky and easily able to fit into a size 8. Don't let your jealousy cloud your rationality, P…
she is so cute, but she is not thin, no where near it. She has to be at least a size 10 in this photo alone. But, lets not hate- she's nicer to look at than crypt keeper winehouse,
…most heavy people who say that they're happy being heavy are either a). telling the truth or b). lying to themselves to cover up their inability to be thinner. The way to tell who is who is by the reaction to the lifestyle changes of any in their tribe. Outsized anger and outrage = B and indifference = A. Examples include Rosie O's reaction to Star Jones' surgery and now Perez's to Lilly…..such B's
No. What this means is that a healthy girl who isn't a complete twig can be f-ing sexy.
hey check out this crazy chick Chantele Dibrava on my-space. her song about lindsay lohan is crazy, ha ha ha ha ha
Who CARES!!!!
I dont like fat overweight girls..With hugs hip..No way…
- Everyone should be built like Giselle, or Keira!!
- Thin is in, and curve's only if you dont look like a fat whale.
Women should weigh between 100-125 pounds.. That is the perfect weight range..Fat girls get on it, and slim down.
BWAHAHAHAHA…SHE IS SO HUNG UP ON HER BODY,AND MAYBE SHE SHOULD BE,….SHES LOOKS LIKE SHIT…SHE IS STILL A FUCKIN HEFFER….SO IS THIS WHAT HEFFERS DO TO TRY AND PROVE THEY ARENT A HEFFER? POSE ALMOST NUDE? UHH. NO. DON'T THINK SO.
SO I WONDER HOW MUCH SHE PAID TO BE IN THAT AD
AND I WONDER HOW MUCH COKE SHE'LL HAVE TO SNORT IN TIME NOT TO LOOK LIKE THE FAT PILE OF SHIT THAT SHE IS…? AND HER FACE IS JUST…UGH. CAN'T DO MUCH ABOUT THAT… WOOF WOOF WOOF! OH WELL DIDN'T THEY HAVE THAT OTHER DOGFACE DO AN AD FOR THEM? I GUESS LILY WILL FIT RIGHT IN THEN.
Fat bottomed girls make the rockin' world go round!!
Lily should just focus on her music. Seems like Lilly has slowly been eroded into conforming with the celebrity norm. I don't blame her but I think that it is a shame. It must be difficult when you say something that is logical and reasonable and the press only ever report it as slagging off people. If I were Lilly I think it would make me doubt myself. I don't think the modern media is a very woman friendly place.
Its sad because there is NO WAY Agent Provocateur is going to use any pictures of her that aren't seriously and majorly airbrushed to make her look skinnier, bustier and generally much more attractive and model-like in their lingerie. She's just doesn't have a model body, flat chested, thick legs, whether 8 or 14 doesn't really matter. So the message she's sending to young girls and for that matter women everywhere is look how hot I look,airburushed.
So she's promoting a body type she doesn't even have in real non-airbrushed life. So she's definitely selling out. She's always been a bit of a publicity whore though.
look in the mirror
Um, She don't look fat to me.
I think she looks kinda cute and I love that dress!
Don't hate Perez. Lily is gorgeous and she still eats her dinner. You should be happy that a regular sized girl is going to be the face of AP, unless you want to see Kate Moss' boney ass.
Agent Provocateur makes the sexiest lingerie around but I always thought some of their models a little skeletal. Even a size 8 like Lily Allen is a good thing. They should have size 14s- they make stuff to fit us. Hire me! I buy their stuff like crack!
you idiot, a size is approximately 8 pounds, so 3 sizes is 24 pounds, not a half a person.
GOOD POINT, PEREZ!!! I'm so tired of these curvaceous celebrities acting proud of their curves and then turning around and losing weight. It's SO hypocritical and sends a terrible message to girls and women. I respect celebrities who embrace their curves and represent a more healthy, realistic body type.
you idiot, a size is approximately 8 pounds, so 3 sizes is 24 pounds, not a half a person.
you idiot, a size is approximately 8 pounds, so 3 sizes is 24 pounds, not a half a person.
DUHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Going from a size 14 to an 8 does NOT mean you have dropped half your weight. What planet are you from Perez??? OMG I can't believe you think that!! ROFLMBO!!!!!
