Britain’s foul-mouthed-sweetheart Lily Allen, famous for her cute and catchy music, vulgar mouth and crazy antics, was recently crowned as GQ’s Woman of the Year.
This title is somewhat ironic; at last year’s GQ awards (which Lily Allen cohosted), Allen infamously got into a verbal catfight with Sir Elton John.
Gracing the cover of GQ’s October issue, Lily Allen appears in a seven-page editorial spread where the normally adorable pop songstress appears dark and brooding in baring bathing suits and minimal makeup.
