Dua Lipa’s Best Fashion Moments: From Y2K To Haute Couture

Views: 5

Dua Lipa will be blessing us with her bubblegum pop presence next year, arriving on Australian shores with her Radical Optimism tour. The major event has prompted us to take a look back at Dua Lipa’s fashion history. The pop princess has one of the most versatile wardrobes in Hollywood, ranging from Y2K glam, 90s archival pieces, and full regency couture (girl loves a cinched waist). Dua Lipa has also been dubbed the “vacanza queen” thanks to seemingly constantly being on vacation. While she’s taken issue with the implication she vacations too hard, we’ll never fault her: she’s bequeathed us with endless summer style inspiration.

So, ahead of her visit to Australian shores this year, we’re looking at Dua Lipa’s best fashion moments.

Jacquemus

In head-to-toe Jacquemus, Dua Lipa made a stronge case for matching your accessories to your hair colour mixing burgundy with acquamarine.

Gucci

We love a leather jacket as a dress and here, the popstar paired the rock’n’roll look with brogues and a Gucci horse-Bait bag (we’re tickled that she matched her nail polish to the bag’s lining).

In custom Chanel

Have we ever seen Chanel look sexier? Dua Lipa brought her signature Y2K princess flare in this belly-button baring custom Chanel number and we loved to see it.

Gucci

Nothing if not a fan of snatched waist sillhouette and a bustier top Dua Lipa delivered on all fronts in this shimmering plum Gucci number.

Warner Music Brit Awards After Party

Dua Lipa is a huge fan of the pantless trend, shown to great effect here. We feel there’s nothing like a motorcycle jacket to add toughness (and coverage) to a barely there bustier dress. Noted for next time.

Out And About in London

Ferragamo and Prada

A more subdued take on pantlessness, Dua Lipa paired a bottle green zip-up SS24 trench with a mock turtleneck and a pair of barely-there body-con microshorts (and of course, knee high boots) while promoting her new Radical Optimism album. We’re radically optimistic about ever getting our hands on her carry all Prada leather tote.

We’re not always fans of cut outs, we loved seeing them here as Dua Lipa chanelled Joan of Arc-in-chainmail vibes at the Grammys.

Chanel with Tiffany & Co Diamonds

While she’s usually rocking skin-baring Y2K, our girl also is a fan of regency-core, seen to great effect as she paid homage to Karl Lagerfeld in this archival 1992 bouclé gown.

Jacquemus

Dua Lipa isn’t afraid of bending (and breaking) the rulebook and this image of the star wearing white Jacquemus to the designers wedding went viral in 2022. She’s a pioneer of naked dressing and we feel this look was worth bending the rules for.

Our pop princess dressed like an actual princess her 2021 Demenour music video. Presumably the costume designers of Bridgerton took note.

Blumarine

Dua Lipa’s peak Y2K-era had to be 2021 and this butterfly heavy confection from Blumarine feels straight out of the Paris Hilton playbook.

On Vacation

Blumarine

Is it too early to feel nostalgia for the 2021 wave of… Y2K nostalgia There was no such thing as too much Blumarine or too much pastel pink for Dua Lipa in 2021, but we can’t take our eyes of her faded blue croc-effect jeans. A true moment in time.
