She wanted to cause a stir by unveiling her newly-slim figure at the UNICEF Halloween ball in London on Thursday night.

And Lily Allen certainly managed to do just that as she attended the bash entirely covered in green paint.

Lily opted for an other-worldly style ensemble as she sported a green sequinned halterneck minidress with green leopard-print tights and a green Chanel bag as she attended the event at One Mayfair.

Topping off her look, Lily added a bobble headband and sequinned make-up around her eyes.

Lily, 28, was at the event to perform alongside Robbie Williams, who took to the stage to entertain guests at the star-studded bash.

Lily appears alongside Robbie on track Dream A Little Dream from his upcoming new album Swings Both Ways.

And as she delighted the crowd with her vocal talents, Lily also showed off her slimline shape, after apparently having lost a significant amount of weight in recent months.

The singer is planning to make her comeback with her upcoming song Hard Out Here, for which she has reportedly recruited a group of bikini-clad girls for the video.

However, it is understood the video will be tongue-in-cheek and make references to Miley's Twerking in We Can't Stop, Robin Thicke's Blurred Lines clip - which featured topless models - and Rihanna's numerous sexy videos.

Going green: Lily even matched her designer Chanel handbag to her ensemble

Posing up: Lily posted a shot of herself in full costume on her Twitter page

A source told The Sun: 'Lily hired six bikini-clad female dancers to twerk while pouring champagne over their bodies. It's a jab at music videos made by pop stars like Rihanna and Miley Cyrus.

'Lily stays covered up while the under-dressed girls dance around her. It's a video that will get a lot of people talking and announce in a big way that Lily's back.'

A lot has changed for the 28-year-old star since she released her last album, 'It's Not Me, It's You' in 2009, with her marrying Sam Cooper and becoming a mother to daughters Ethel, 23 months and Marnie, nine months, but she insists her new album isn't a "mum" record.

She said: 'It's not an earnest "I'm a mum" kind of record. It's empowering. There's some feminist vibes going on. It's the same old me with a bit of swearing going on.'

She's supporting a charity who hope to end world hunger, but Rita Ora looked like she'd had more than enough to drink thanks to her choice of lip colour in the IF campaign shots.

The RIP singer's full pout was stained with a purplish berry colour, not dissimilar to the tint of a fine red wine.

Wearing a T-shirt and wristband with the campaign's name, Enough Food For Everyone, Rita joined a number of celebrities in raising awareness of IF and their fight to help those starving in the poorest countries.

A number of famous faces attended the charity's launch night at Somerset House on Wednesday night.

TV stars Keeley Hawes and Downton Abbey's Laura Carmichael arrived and eagerly signed their names on an inflatable canvas in support.

Keeping it casual both actresses wore jeans and black boots: Keeley of the American heeled variety, whilst Laura's lace-ups had a more military look.

Acting legend Bill Nighy showed his solidarity, wearing one of the IF wristbands and a solemn face that showed he was serious about the action the charity was taken to combat the underlying causes of hunger.

The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel actor wanted to make noise about the tax avoidance, land grabs and lack of transparency over investments in poor countries.

He too signed his name to the inflatable canvas, bold and bright in red pen, and also lent his voice to the occasion by guest speaking.

Harry Potter star Bonnie Wright showed off her brunette hairdo at the event, although her auburn eyebrows gave away her red-headed roots.

The young actress was another guest speaker who said: 'We are avid social network goers with the power to utilise the internet. Looking at we and we together can change something.'

She stood out in a bold blue winter coat, worn over black trousers, with a black scarf and a yellow IF badge pinned to her left breast pocket.

Presenter Lauren Laverne also added some electricity to her winter attire, in a vibrant blue fifties-style long coat, with a leopard print scarf to match the colour.

Wearing black leather gloves and trousers, it seemed like she and Bonnie had the same style ideas when getting ready prior to the launch party.

Fay Ripley looked snug in a fur-lined cape that belted at the waist, but must have been chilly below as she was wearing a skirt underneath without any tights.

Tamsin Greig added some psychedelic charm to her black winter coat and jeans, with a printed scarf and striped boots.

Midnight attire: Stacey Dooley arrived in an all black outfit with a full moon pendant

Whilst Stacey Dooley kept it simple in black with a single full moon pendant that stood out from the dark canvas.

The celebrities all joined over 100 of the UK’s leading development and faith organisations for the anti-hunger campaign who hope to compel world leaders to act.

The message was lit up by a 3D projection onto Somerset House as the guest speakers to the platform and inspired their audience into action.

The campaign hope their efforts will effect the decision making at this year's G8 summit in Northern Ireland this June, following the example of the Make Poverty History 2005 campaign.
