People are snickering about Lily Allen’s Chanel connection. Lily has been named a muse for Karl Lagerfeld- one of the head designers for Chanel – and it has left many people puzzled. Lily often appears messy, disheveled and well, unfashionable. How did she land such a coveted spot?

Lily occasionally comes out with a great ensemble, but just as often, she has body parts showing, mismatched pieces and general yuck looking clothes. From Ruby Room:

So it is something of a surprise to find that Lily is the latest ‘muse’ for Chanel designer Karl Lagerfeld.

Miss Allen has already performed live as part of Chanel’s latest catwalk show at Paris Fashion Week and is set to become the face of their latest offering, the Coco Cocoon bag.

But Lily’s previous forays into the fashion world haven’t been greatly successful. She recently designed a range of prom dresses for High Street chain New Look, which she teamed with trainers… hardly chic we think you’ll agree.

Maybe Karl sees something in Lily we don’t see yet. Maybe it will help her clean up her act as well – what do you think? Is Lily stylish and we don’t give her enough credit?
