Shamed Lily Allen emerges from hiding dressed head to toe in black... and a pair of kinky heels
Last updated at 02:07am on 09.09.08
A sombre Lily Allen stepped out in London wearing an all-black outfit with a ridiculously high-heeled pair of boots.
The 23-year-old – who is known for her unconventional footwear - hasn’t been seen in public since her shocking outburst at Elton John at the GQ awards last week.
The star sparked fears after the event when she launched a worrying tirade of self-loathing on her personal Facebook page, describing her emotional state as 'dying inside'.

She also wrote that she felt ‘like killing' herself, although this statement was later removed, and made it clear that she would be out of action for a few days.
'To all the photographers waiting outside my house. I won't be leaving for a while, all my friends have gone to Bestival and I've got enough food and fags to last me till wednesday, so you might as well f*** off and find somebody else to make miserable,' she wrote.
The singer, 23, hit the headlines because of her tipsy behaviour and constant sipping of champagne while hosting the Awards ceremony.
When Allen told the audience at London's Royal Opera House "now we reach a very special point in the evening," Sir Elton John replied: "What, you are going to have another drink?"
Lily responded: 'F*** off Elton, I'm 40 years younger than, I have my whole life ahead of me.'

The 61-year-old veteran retorted: 'I could still snort you under the table' before she told him: 'F*** off. I don't know what you are talking about.'
However Lily played down on the spat, writing on a separate MySpace post: 'Elton and I exchanged jokes and there were no hard feelings at all, in fact neither of us gave it a second thought.'

She added: 'I'm not defending my drunkeness because I don't need to. I'm 23. It was an awards ceremony I drank the free champagne. How awful of me.'
'I've been made to feel like a bad friend and an embarrassment to my fans and the people who support me,' she added.

"Shamed Lily Allen"
Really, shamed how exactly? Her music is dross, her tv show is dross, she can't act, I fail to see how any of those constitute anything other than nepotism rather than shame, she's simply using the contacts she was born with.
