38-year-old Smile singer, Lily Allen, has claimed that Halo hitmaker, Beyoncé, 42, is “getting some help” in the beauty department to make her look youthful.

During a discussion on her Miss Me podcast with co-host Miquita Oliver the radio DJ gushed over Beyoncé’s age-defying looks.

“She does look great, she makes me quite excited about [my] 40s,” Miquita said, to which Allen chimed in, “Yeah but, she’s getting some help.”

Miquita then emphatically added that Beyoncé has not had any work done if that’s what Allen was implying. 

Allen then responded by clarifying that, “I didn’t say that [but] she’s got a great team of stylists, great hair people, she works out, [she’s] got access to the best personal trainers in the world … she’s Beyoncé.”

Allen also added that the 32-time Grammy winner, who just dropped her Cowboy Carter country album a week ago was making “calculated” promotional decisions.

She opined that it is quite an interesting thing to do when someone is trying to tackle a new genre and just chooses the biggest song in that genre to cover, referencing her cover of Dolly Parton’s Jolene.

She went on to say that she believes it’s been quite calculated, especially when Beyonce’s husband, Jay-Z ranted about the fact that his wife has never won Album of the Year.

Allen is reportedly no stranger to speaking her mind. A month ago, she candidly admitted that having two children “ruined” her chances of becoming a major pop star. 

“I mean, I love them, and they complete me, but in terms of, like, you know, pop stardom, totally ruined it,” she clarified.

The London-born singer shares daughters Ethel, 12, and Marnie, 11, with her ex-husband, Sam Cooper, whom she wed in 2011.

After splitting in 2018, she married Stranger Things actor, David Harbour.
