Dua Lipa—a frequent sheer-dress and exposed-thong enthusiast—dialed her look way back for a night out in London over the weekend.
On July 21, the 27-year-old pop star was photographed outside the Chiltern Firehouse hotel-restaurant wearing a white button-up, jeans, and a classic black shoulder bag. Even her makeup was minimalistic, with just a touch of mascara and a subtle pink lip! Despite the toned-down nature of the look—at least compared with Lipa’s history of lingerie-forward dressing—the Barbie star could never be boring.
Lipa managed to elevate the look to Pinterest-worthy heights with the right accessories, including a diamond pinkie ring, oversized silver earrings, and Maison Margiela’s divisive split-toe Tabi flats, which you may recognize as a slightly altered version of the pair Zendaya recently showed off on her Instagram Stories. Unlike Zendaya’s white summer shoes, Lipa rocked a strappy black pair that blurs the lines between a classic ballet slipper and a Mary Jane.
Dua Lipa knows all about controversial summer shoes. On July 17 the singer did some serious shopping at Bottega Veneta wearing a leather-on-leather look that is making me sweat just thinking about it. Aside from her black button-down and distressed denim miniskirt, she traipsed around town in an oversized moto jacket with a calf-length quilted leather boot.
Obviously, London is not experiencing the same heat wave that’s currently passing through Los Angeles, so I’ll just have to wait until fall before I can (attempt to) copy these looks. Looking forward to it.
Only Zendaya Could Make Me Want These Controversial $690 Flats
Thankfully, they’re out of my price range.
