Whenever Dua Lipa shares a photo of herself on Instagram, we rush to peep the outfit. What wild interpretation of clothing will she be wearing this time? A micro mini with dangerously high platforms? Something that flashes her belly-button ring or throws it back to a past decade? With a bit of creativity from her stylist, Lorenzo Posocco, and an enviable amount of confidence, Lipa can pull off just about anything.
Over time, this pop sensation has transformed into something of a fashion icon. 2023 stood out as Lipa’s crowning moment in the fashion sphere. Along with Donatella Versace, she co-designed “La Vacanza,” a Versace collection that debuted in Cannes, France. As if that wasn’t enough, she co-chaired the 2023 Met Gala. And to put a cherry on top, she debuted her acting chops in the Barbie movie — and showed off several incredible looks on the red carpet for the occasion.
Ahead, we’re rounding up Lipa’s best looks. Were some of them slightly over-the-top? Sure. But we would raid this girl’s closet in a heartbeat? Absolutely. And we can’t wait to see more.

It can be hard to keep up with ever-changing pants trends, but Lipa has given low-rise styles her stamp of approval on more than one occasion, and even let her lacy underwear stand out while wearing them.

It’s simple: It girls sport It bags. Our trend radar is buzzing, because studded bags are about to have a major moment. Recently, Lipa was spotted rocking a studded leather shoulder bag by Italian brand, GCDS.

The transparent trend isn’t going anywhere anytime soon. This look inspired us to coordinate our sheer pieces with whatever undergarments we have underneath, helping to keep things sleek, subtle, and elevated enough for whatever we have planned.

Leave it to Lipa to make the romper feel brand new again. Will she take on gauchos next? Nothing’s out of the question when it comes to her unexpected style.

Lipa was spotted in Miu Miu’s very trendy and very tiny suede micro shorts, paired with a knit tank also from the brand. On the topic of all things teeny, she accessorized with a dainty Cartier Panthère watch.

As she celebrated her 28th birthday, Lipa dazzled in a sleek Valentino dress, accentuated by layers of gold Chanel jewelry. The gown’s plunging neckline was the perfect backdrop for layers of long pendants and big earrings. To get this look, opt for a simple yet sexy dress, and remember, with accessories, more is always more.

Lipa is no stranger to style risks. The fashion darling was spotted in a full Gucci ensemble – top, bra, pants, sunglasses, and bag, all from the label’s fall 2023 collection. These specific pieces were not shown together on the runway, so Lipa’s flair for combining eclectic items gave this outfit a distinct personal touch.
Revamped Beachwear:max_bytes(150000):strip_icc():format(webp)/DuaLipa-beachwear-368898206_814187476830774_413155421145244694_n-0f906f4cd9174550a1ac281b7523ef99.jpeg)

In yet another tropical setting, Lipa created the perfect beachwear-meets-high-fashion formula. This baby blue look consists of a sheer Aya Muse dress, a crystal-encrusted Alessandra Rich bikini and metallic Versace platform sandals. What, don’t you wear Versace platforms to the pool?
Red Hot:max_bytes(150000):strip_icc():format(webp)/DuaLipa-reddress-363931629_658618269552678_1753962417805520419_n-8f8a3987536942788db889548f42efb1.jpeg)

Like any fashion girl, Dua Lipa is ahead of the game when it comes to trends. This shade of red is everywhere right now, and naturally the singer was on it over the summer.

Lipa has proven her love for body-baring styles, but she and stylist Posocco always seem to get it right. Case in point: This chainmail gown by Bottega Veneta that she styled with simple silver accessories at the L.A. premiere of Barbie.
Pink Velvet:max_bytes(150000):strip_icc():format(webp)/DuaLipa-PinkVelvetdress-358430462_1462480821180556_8434440270792277420_n-a567d1db9b9a4e878ae29160b90d4aac.jpeg)

It comes as no surprise that Dua Lipa got on board with the Barbiecore trend (she is in the movie, after all). However, her outfit showcases how to rock head-to-toe pink without looking too costumey. Incorporating edgy elements, like thigh-high boots and sleek silver accessories, can instantly elevate an ultra-girly outfit, giving it a bit of cool factor.
Snatched Corsetry:max_bytes(150000):strip_icc():format(webp)/DuaLipa-corset-354221460_282780550894522_1925408417559394946_n-4e02295667c44de3919dd714b6b7ba7b.jpeg)

Corset tops have been trending for a minute now. So, we love how Dua Lipa masterfully toys with proportions, giving her corset top a fresh look by pairing it with low rise baggy fit trousers. The combination feels unexpected and cool.
Sporty Layers:max_bytes(150000):strip_icc():format(webp)/DuaLipa-sporty-layers-340834579_549317263939404_1453208732034656140_n-1c380c2b625840ebae4bcc4753e31a9f.jpeg)

Recreating this look is surprisingly simple (minus getting ahold of the limited-edition Palace x Gucci biker jacket). All you need are gray jeans, a white tank, a flannel, statement silver earrings, and your choice of a biker jacket. Violà! The perfect casual, cool girl look.
Canadian Tuxedo:max_bytes(150000):strip_icc():format(webp)/DuaLipa-Canadiantuxedo-329861202_237041428806953_2606967041863472226_n-a94221d827e44d18ba7bd8b16ae06a29.jpeg)

Forget everything you know about denim on denim. The “Canadian Tuxedo” traditionally consists of a denim shirt or jacket paired with bottoms. However, Lipa gives us a new rendition with this denim bra and coordinating skirt combination.
Biker Boots:max_bytes(150000):strip_icc():format(webp)/DuaLipa-biker-boots-326380575_909592023372066_5981147483889555646_n-c6655b13030b497eac62fb0a55198957.jpeg)

These rugged boots are set to dominate this fall, thanks, in part, to this standout pair from Miu Miu. “Miu Miu boots dupe” may be trending all over social media, but it’s no shocker that our favorite It girl is rocking the real deal.
Borrowed from the Boys:max_bytes(150000):strip_icc():format(webp)/DuaLipa-blazer-325293602_208044711697480_8753779521640297767_n-52651ef821184aa582597f76b9928752.jpeg)

A true fashion chameleon, the singer snapped a selfie in an oversized blazer, shirt, and sleek black trousers. A departure from her typically skin-baring ensembles, she managed to add an element of her signature style with sparkly Gucci slingbacks and tinted shades.
Can’t Beat the Classics:max_bytes(150000):strip_icc():format(webp)/DuaLipa-classics-358351948_582618180611248_1231596721812593738_n-264e13953634401dac37d794bb118754.jpeg)

Stuck in a style rut? Here’s a fool-proof outfit formula to follow, courtesy of our girl: Pair a classic button-down shirt with a white tank top and jeans (or jean shorts, depending on the season). The magic lies in the accessories — the right picks can instantly elevate this simple look. Take a cue from Lipa: she paired her Lacoste shirt with statement gold jewelry, added a leather belt, sleek shades, and completed the look with a basket bag.
