Nieves González's Portrait of Lily Allen Comes to London's West End

The National Portrait Gallery officially unveiled Nieves González's portrait of Lily Allen. This oil painting, titled West End Girl, will now be on public display at the museum for a year.

The work is the cover art for Allen's album of the same title. It features the British singer in a Miu Miu puffer jacket and Valentino boots. The Spanish painter, who is best known for her contemporary take on paintings of the Spanish baroque, told Vanity Fair: "For Lily, the jacket was perfect, both armor and comfort, protection and vulnerability, a garment that exists outside of traditional glamour."
