Lily Allen and James Norton put on a cosy display as they were on an apparent first date watching Charli XCX on stage at Lido Festival in London on Saturday.
The singer, 40, and actor, 39, couldn’t wipe the smiles off their faces as they stood together in the crowd and sipped non-alcoholic beers at the sell out show in Hackney’s Victoria Park, after reportedly first meeting on celebrity dating app Raya.
Lily looked effortlessly stylish in a skimpy black mini skirt and cropped semi-sheer lace top that teased a glimpse of her dark bra beneath.
She completed the edgy look with knee-high boots and leather jacket while toting her essentials in a Chanel handbag, with onlookers claiming she kept James in fits of giggles.
The Happy Valley actor cut a more casual figure for the outing in a baggy shirt and trousers which he teamed with a pink baseball cap.

A source told The Sun: ‘Lily and James appeared to be on a date. They were together for the day and were chatting and laughing together as they watched Charli XCX. Lily was leaning into him at one point’.
‘She and James seemed really relaxed together and she was really making him giggle. They were drinking non-alcoholic beer and queued at the bar like all the other punters. People were doing double-takes when they saw them together’.
Before adding: ‘Because they’re both on Raya it seems like they might have matched with each other’.
MailOnline have contacted Lily and James’ reps for comment.
Lily ended her marriage to Stranger Things star husband David Harbour, 50, in December 2024 after four years of marriage, following her discovery he had a secret profile on Raya.
Meanwhile James is said to have split from model girlfriend Charlotte Rose Smith, 26, last month before being spotted back on the star-studded dating site.
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.
James’ Raya profile is said to feature photos of the Happy Valley star with a shaved head – a dramatic new look he’s adopted for his upcoming role in Sunny Dancer, currently being filmed in Scotland with co-star Bella Ramsey.

Their outing comes after both were said to have returned to online dating following their respective relationship breakdowns

Meanwhile James is said to have split from model girlfriend Charlotte Rose Smith (pictured) last month and was also spotted back on the exclusive dating site.
The hunk, who is a strong contender to be the next James Bond, started dating Charlotte late last year and was pictured out with her on several occasions.
At the time, an insider told The Sun: ‘They have been enjoying dates and seem very happy together.
‘It has been a year since his relationship with [ex Imogen Potts] ended and he appears to get on so well with Charlotte. They make a lovely couple.’
Not long before Lily split from husband David, she turned amateur sleuth after speculating that David had ‘cheated’ on the same dating app where they met.
She was left in ‘agony’ when she allegedly discovered the actor had a secret profile, 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.
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.

James previously dated actress Imogen Poots, they in 2017 while working on BBC’s War and Peace. They became engaged in 2022 but parted ways in 2023 (pictured 2022)
‘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.
