Lily Allen to change name to Cooper?

Lily Allen plans to change her surname to Cooper after her wedding.

The 25-year-old singer who is set to marry building firm boss Sam Cooperon June 11 in Gloucestershire will become professionally known by her new moniker, with the Smile star telling record company chiefs it will be her new recording name.

“Lily has already told her management and record label bosses that from now on, she’ll be recording under her married name, Lily Cooper,” a source said.

“She is actually a very traditional person in many respects and she just can’t wait to be a good wife and a great mum.”

The Not Fair hitmaker has been preparing for her wedding by having two bespoke gowns by Chanel designer Karl Lagerfeld costing $70,000 in total because she can’t decide on a classic or a more modern design.

“Lily has been planning her dream dress for months and couldn’t decide between a classic, full-length ivory and lace gown or a shorter, more modern dress,” said the source.

“In the end, Karl suggested she get one of each and decide on the morning which she’ll wear down the aisle. At the moment it looks as though she will plump for the more classic, vintage gown with a small train for the ceremony, and then change straight after the service into a shorter, tighter number.

“The latter will be more in keeping for the evening party and will allow her to dance more freely.”
