Lily Allen debuted a stunning new hairstyle on social media on Wednesday. The singer, 40, who confirmed her split from husband David Harbour, 50, at the end of last year, took to her Instagram to show off her glamorous new look. She visited New York's celebrity hair salon Suite Caroline to change up her look as she ditched her trademark signature red locks. Instead, she rocked a short, voluminous raven black blowout with a full fringe as she opted for a 'goth' change to her look. She captioned the stunning snaps: 'Goth girl summer.' From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the Daily Mail's new showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. For the salon visit, the Smile hitmaker cut a stylish figure in a trendy black leather Miu Miu jacket, which retails for £5,500. Her new look comes after she revealed that she has been 'feeling incredibly low' and lonely in her New York City home after her split from David. She explained that she has been feeling 'extremely heavy' as she 'doesn't have that much to do here' in the city. Lily moved to Brooklyn in 2020 to be closer to David, enrolling her daughters - Ethel Mary Cooper, 13, and Marnie Rose, 11 - in local schools. Telling how she will be taking a break from social media, The Fear hitmaker said there is 'nothing filling the gaps' as she is no longer doom scrolling. Speaking to Miquita Oliver on their BBC 's Miss Me? Podcast, Lily said: 'I'm nearly two weeks into complete social media ban. 'I interestingly enough the beginning of last week I was feeling incredibly low, like lower than I've felt in months. It was extremely heavy. 'And then I realised maybe this is because I'm not filling the gaps with doom scrolling, and I've suddenly got this time for like reflection, you know what I mean. She continued: 'I don't have that much to do here in New York during the day, and so I guess I would find myself sitting on Instagram and scrolling or being narcissistic and posting or reading my responses and getting that dopamine fix. 'And I haven't had it for nearly two weeks, and I think it made me initially really sad. 'I think I was having withdrawal symptoms. It was horrible. I mean, I really did feel like I was withdrawing from drugs or something. It was crazy. 'But it took me a minute to think, "Oh yeah, it was probably that"'. Lily split from Stranger Things actor David late last year after four years of marriage at the end of last year. The couple tied the knot in Vegas in 2020, before moving from London to the United States. However, last December, friends confirmed they had split after living 'separate lives' for months. Lily previously said of their split: 'I am not over it. I am sort of running away. Maybe I will have a nervous breakdown.' The former couple originally met on the celebrity dating app Raya in 2019. Previously speaking on The Jonathan Ross Show, Lily shared that she was only 'swiping for a bit of fun' when she came across David dressed as a 'sexy policeman'. 'I didn't know who he was. I thought he was just like a sexy policeman from a reality TV show because he was wearing a policeman's uniform. It was a still from Stranger Things. I'd never seen Stranger Things,' she said. 'I don't even know what I was looking for. It was just something to do on holiday, swiping, it's a bit of fun. 'When I met him, I didn't think it was going to go anywhere. He was here filming Black Widow. He was only going to be here for a couple of months. And then it did [go somewhere].' Not long before their split, Lily turned amateur sleuth after speculating that David had 'cheated' on the same dating app. She was left in 'agony' when she allegedly discovered the actor had a secret profile on the celebrity dating app Raya, The Mail on Sunday revealed. The pop star joined the app herself, pretending to be 'looking for women' – and allegedly found that David had already set up a dating profile. He was reportedly listed on the app as being active for at least a month. It comes after Lily was left in 'agony' earlier this year when she allegedly discovered the actor had a secret profile on the celebrity dating app Raya, The Mail on Sunday revealed Raya is so exclusive that it accepts only around eight per cent of applicants, but it has more than 10,000 members, with 100,000 on the waiting list. Once users find a new partner, they usually disable their profiles. A source said: 'Lily was looking for women that were on Raya and cross-referencing them with women David follows on Instagram to try to figure out who he was seeing. She was doing her Wagatha thing. 'Lily only rejoined Raya to try to figure out whether he was seeing someone. 'Lily has never even looked at anyone since she met David. She is devastated. He broke up with Lily a month ago. 'He was meant to be on holiday with her in Kenya over Christmas.' David's alleged dating profile, exclusively revealed by the Mail on Sunday, read: 'Visiting New York from Atlanta' and 'closet nerd that plays tough guys on your TV'. It also described him as living in Atlanta, Georgia, 800 miles from the family home in Brooklyn, New York, where the couple moved in 2020, with Lily enrolling her children in local schools. He bought a house in Atlanta last year to be closer to the Stranger Things set as the show was filming its fifth and final series. Lily's circle of London friends said she had suspected for some time that her husband was interested in other women. By the time the couple broke up, she had become convinced that he had a secret girlfriend.

Lily Allen reveals ‘extremely heavy few weeks' after social media ban
The LDN singer's ex-relationship has put a huge strain on her mental health (Picture: Getty Images) Lily Allen is feeling the weight of a tough year – and she's not keeping it to herself. The British singer has revealed she's been 'incredibly low' in recent months, following the breakdown of her marriage to actor David Harbour. On her podcast Miss Me?, which she co-hosts with friend Miquita Oliver, Allen opened up about the emotional toll her separation has taken. She described a sense of spiralling, paired with intense panic attacks that left her feeling out of control. The 00's icon also revealed she was often bored whilst living in New York and has now stopped using social media to improve her mental health. She admitted she has gone cold turkey on her use of social media in order to get her mental health back on track, 'I'm nearly two weeks into a complete social media ban.' She's still recovering from the breakdown of her marriage to David Harbour (Picture: James Shaw/REX/Shutterstock) The Smile hitmaker has been very open about her mental health on her podcast (Picture: BBC Sounds) The singer went on to say, 'I don't have that much to do here in New York during the day and so I guess I would find myself sitting on Instagram and scrolling or being narcissistic and posting or reading my responses and getting that dopamine fix.' Allen compared her ban of social media to withdrawing from drugs: 'I think I was having withdrawal symptoms. It was horrible, I mean, I really did feel like I was withdrawing from drugs or something, it was crazy.' In a raw moment of honesty, Allen admitted she needed professional help to improve her worsening mental health. The 40-year-old subsequently checked herself into a trauma treatment centre near her US home. This wasn't about rehab, she clarified – it was purely to address her mental health. The facility, which offers intensive therapy and costs around £8,000 a week, became her temporary home while she worked through her feelings post-breakup. Allen recently found out her now estranged husband, Harbour, was on the celebrity dating app Raya. This news triggered a spiral of poor mental health for the pop icon. She didn't hold back as she described the sting of discovering that detail. Allen took a break from the podcast late last year (Picture: lilyallen/Instagram) The former couple ironically met on the dating app Raya back in 2018. Speaking on the Jonathan Ross Show, Lily was just swiping for fun when she came across her ex-lover David, ''I didn't know who he was. I thought he was just like a sexy policeman from a reality TV show because he was wearing a policeman's uniform. It was a still from Stranger Things. I'd never seen Stranger Things,' Turning 40 was another major milestone, one she approached with both celebration and reflection. She shared snippets of her birthday online, surrounded by friends and family who she said 'really showed up' for her. Now back in London and living with her two daughters, Allen says she's working on building a calmer, more grounded life. Got a story?
