From creating catchy hits to being the face of YSL Beauty’s latest fragrance, Dua Lipa has been taking the world by storm. Not only has she stolen our hearts with her chart-topping songs, but she’s also caught the attention of fashionistas.
Dua Lipa has been seen at Cannes Film Festival in fiery red couture Valentino and at the 2019 Grammys wearing a sweeping silver Versace gown. Her looks off the red carpet are equally as elegant but just a little more laid back. In her daily wear, she’s known for pairing bralettes and wide-leg pants together, and of course, her outfits are always carefully accessorized with chic pieces of jewelry and statement bags. Throw a pair of heeled boots on, and you’ve got a classic Dua Lipa look.
On her 24th birthday on August 22, we break down how she achieves looks that are effortless yet put together all the time. Take a look below at our latest celebrity wardrobe essentials installment to see how you can recreate her cozy aesthetic. While you’re here, check out our interview with the British singer.
