She frequently complains about the portrayal of women in the media.

But Lily Allen took a double-standard and ran with it on Saturday when she performed at London club G-A-Y where she was joined by half-naked male - and female - backing talent.

The 28 year-old singer took to the stage in a variety of outfits, which will no doubt surprise fans of her outspoken opinions.

The daughter of actor Keith Allen launched her new album at the long-running nightspot with a special preview set, which saw her change outfits for each song.

Initially she took to the floor in a flattering blue dress, which looked both stylish but demure. But it soon became a less sophisticated affair.

She then removed the skirt, leaving just a leotard-effect body which she wore with killer heels and a fur-effect coat. Meanwhile, she was surrounded by scantily-clad female dancers, who performed seductively for their crowd.

Generating cheers from the crowd, it was clearly the tongue-in-cheek fun she intended.

But, despite having written songs which judge men's genitals and their sexual ability, Lily - rather ironically - still champions less sexualised, more respectful, behaviour in pop.

So her finale costume change will perhaps raise eyebrows most.

For her encore, she poked fun at Beyonce's Grammy Awards appearance, having a bucket of water thrown over her before performing a cover of Destiny Child's I'm a survivor.

Joined by a male performer in his underwear, she writhed around the stage trying to be satirical.

At the close of the track she removed her wig and accepted a warm round of applause from party-goers.

Given that she has new music to promote, the attention-grabbing behaviour is unsurprising from Allen. She recently took a swipe at some of the world's biggest music icons in her video for new single, Sheezus.

Not holding back as she worked her magic in front of the camera, the 28-year-old singer playfully referenced the likes of Rihanna, Lady Gaga, Beyonce and Lorde in the upcoming track.

Vowing to get her 'crown' back, the It's Not Fair hitmaker hinted that changes in the industry may have taken place during her two-year musical hiatus when she welcomed daughters Ethel, two, and Marnie, 15 months, into the world.

Cavorting around in a street-inspired hoodie and neon chains as bright lights flashed around her, Lily sings: 'RiRi isn't scared of Katy Perry's roaring, Queen Bey's gone back to the drawing. Lorde smells blood, yeah, she's about to slay you... kid ain't one to f**k with when she's only on her debut.

'We're all watching Gaha lol haha... dying for the art, so really she's a martyr.'

The star has already admitted she is waiting for an angry phone call from rapper Kanye West after naming her track Sheezus in homage to his most-recent album, Yeezus.

Speaking on NovaFM's Fitzy & Wippa in Australia, she said: 'I'm terrified... I thought he'd think it was a diss, but it's totally not a diss, I love Kanye I think he's brilliant.

'He speaks his mind, whether what he's saying is ridiculous or not, he honestly does believe it and I think there's a lot to be said for that.

'In this day and age people are so bland and beige and "Uhuh, yeah, I love everyone and everything and I like, totally don't have a problem with everything", but he does have a problem!'.
