Lily Allen Hits the Pub ... In a Wedding Dress

Lily Allen must have heard that spring is all about the LWD (little white dress), because upon arrival to the Groucho Club in London, she donned a long white frock. Only problem, she looked more like she was headed to a wedding reception -- her own!

The singer wore a full-on bridal gown to an afterparty and even brought along a cropped black blazer (groom's tuxedo jacket?) to complete the look.

Is she trying to follow in Britney's fashion footsteps? Lest we remind you of the time Spears wore her wedding dress for a car shopping trip. Lily's already done the pink hair. Is a shaved head and umbrella beating next? We sure hope not!

We're not going to lie -- this beats the "Death to Bambi" dress she wore last summer. But, we just can't give her bridal style a pass; not for an evening at the pub. Can you?

Check out some celebs with a real reason to go bridal below!

It's not a wedding dress, it is the dress she wore earlier that night for a taping of the Graham Norton Show.

Even if it is a wedding gown (actually, it looks like a really nice evening gown), I think it looks far better on her than a lot of the fashions I see stars wearing these days. Always seemed a waste to me to spend $$$$ on a dress to where once in your life anyway!
