Dua Lipa’s Most Controversial Fashion Moments
Dua Lipa is certainly not one to shy away from jaw-dropping style. While she rarely steps out in a look that isn’t totally head-turning, some have been more controversial than others, to be sure. Just Tuesday night, she rang in part one of her 23rd birthday celebrations in a metallic bodysuit with a leather bra on top — no pants, no problem! Prior to that, she’s tested everything from waist-high boots to waist-high slits, bras as tops and tights as pants alike. In celebration of the singer’s fashion-filled birthday celebrations, we’re taking a look back at her most talked-about looks to date.

Dua Lipa's matching bra top and mini skirt — paired with fishnet tights and crisp white sneakers — is the summer-to-fall uniform you'll see everywhere this month. Just throw a leather jacket on top for added warmth.

Most recently, Dua rang in her birthday in a metallic pink bodysuit. Choosing to forgo pants, she did top the look with lingerie-as-outerwear with a leather bra top layered over her one-piece.

Dua was seen in New York wearing a look that would have been head-turning in any setting: a rainbow printed Versace catsuit. The chatter strengthened, though, as it was also the exact look Gigi Hadid had previously worn to the 2018 CFDA Fashion Awards in June.

Dua shared images of an evening in Paris wearing what looked to be the exact iconic sheer dress that started it all: Cher’s feather-clad Bob Mackie gown. It is still unclear whether Dua’s was a reproduction or a loaner of the actual dress itself.

Dua chose a dress that, from one side, seemed quite ladylike and traditional. But, from the other side, revealed one of the most head-turning waist-high slits we’ve ever seen.

Wearing her uniform au-moment, Dua was seen with boyfriend Isaac Carew in London wearing a denim jacket and leather pants with no shirt at all. Instead, her turquoise underwire bra peeked out from underneath her totally open top.

Performing on The Graham Norton Show, the singer chose a bright red Versace look that, from afar, might have seemed to be tailored suiting but, at closer glance, was seen to be a blazer and tights that— while opaque — covered both feet like traditional stockings, as opposed to actual ankle-crop pants.

During a concert in Dublin, Ireland, Dua chose a purple La Perla bra and track pants to hit the stage wearing. It has quickly become the look she’s most well-known for styling: an actual underwire bra as a top (as opposed to a more covered bralette style) and some version of sporty bottoms.
Bra, La Perla.

While we’re all well familiar with the lampshade trend or over-the-knee boots in general, styled a multitude of ways, Dua took it one step further by wearing a pair of Barbie-pink Vetements x Manolo Blahnik boots that quite literally reached her waist, folding at the top to accommodate her mini dress turned tunic top.
