No one is doing it like Dua Lipa—and we stress, no one. Forget It girl, the pop star is in a league of her own when it comes to living life on her own terms. World tours? Check. A tasteful book club podcast for the intellectuals? Check. A golden retriever fiancée who is head over heels? Check. Some might say it doesn’t get better than this. We’ll beg to differ, for one look at her recent social media feed might lend optics to the real dream: her impeccable summer wardrobe.
In every sense of the word, Lipa is a woman. Whilst she doubtlessly embodies this best via a soul-stirring display of high-octane outfits every time she hits the stage (all thanks to longtime stylist Lorenzo Posocco), it’s really her off-duty style that has us all gushing till the end days.
Billowing Chloé sets for sun-kissed sojourns through Italy. Rocker chic ensembles for casual stomping around festival grounds. Sheer summer sequins (Isabel Marant, no less) for days out with her loved ones. Sweet, stringy bikini sets for yachting with her girls. Alo exercise sets for when she’s sweating it out on the yoga mat. And of course, as part of Simon Porte Jacquemus’s inner circle, a skin-baring dress or two have certainly been custom-made for her, to party the night away in as she kickstarts her birthday season. The cherry on top of it all? The icon’s a Chanel girlie. So best believe her accessories come equally stacked, the Chanel 25 a constant staple in her arm candy rotation.
As we speak, she’s probably slipping into her next killer fit, ready to reign in her 30s in Ibiza, aka Dua Lipa’s favourite island to be on. You know, just a hot girl, doing her hot girl things. In the meantime, see the maddening fashion run she’s been having all summer. Ma chérie, we’ll be waiting for the next one.
