With just three weeks to go before her big day, Lily Allen, like any bride, will be hoping that she has found the perfect dress to walk down the aisle

But the only frocks that the singer was concerned about last night were those from her new collection.

Fresh from her hen do with her nearest and dearest this weekend, it was back to work for the 26-year-old last night.

Lily was at the Harvey Nichols department store in Knightsbridge to launch the ready-to-wear collection from her boutique Lucy In Disguise.

Joined by her half-sister and business partner Sarah Owen, Lily posed for the cameras as she launched the summer range which goes on sale in the store from next month.

The girls launched the vintage fashion business last September and have a store in Covent Garden.

Promoting her wares by wearing one of the boutiques dresses, Lily sparkled in her green floor-length frock and silver sequinned bolero jacket.

Her sister, 31, who shares a mother with Lily, film producer Alison Owen, 49, was bang-on-trend in a strapless purple jumpsuit with a diamante bust.

They were joined by Lily's close friend, actress Jaime Winston, 26, who looked delighted to be part of the girls' big night.

She looked very pretty in a sparkly aqua green dress and black jacket, which she teamed with black lace-up shoe boots.

Jaime was also part of Lily's pre-wedding celebrations on Saturday night when she and a group of the singer's closest friends including Miquita Oliver spent a civilised evening at the Savoy Grill on The Strand.

Lily and her fiancé Sam Cooper, 32,  will marry on June 11 at St James the Great Church in Cranham, Gloucestershire.
