Nostalgia lovers may be familiar with the rise and fall of the going-out top of the early aughts, in which It Girls of the era partied in loose and bejeweled halter tops. Now, Dua Lipa is putting forth her own innovative take on the seemingly extinct wardrobe staple.
Yesterday, the "Don't Start Now" singer posted a photo dump on Instagram in which she showed off her latest street style look.
Lipa wore a red-orange stringy diamond halter top covered in frilly ruffles. She paired the statement piece with croc-embossed straight-leg trousers in black and, for an additional pop of color, sparkling orange pumps. She finished the look off with a golden fur shoulder bag from Off-White, black sunglasses, drop earrings, and a stack of pearl bracelets.
"BARRAGÁN HEAVEN," Lipa captioned the post, referring to Mexican architect and engineer Luis Barragán. The Grammy winner had posed in front of the colorful walls from his house and studio in Mexico City, where she was visiting.
This isn't the first time that Lipa has worn a Y2K-inspired halter silhouette.
Earlier this month, the singer shared photos of herself in a halter minidress featuring a plunging neckline and wrap detailing at the waist, with an asymmetrical skirt that included a hip-high slit. Then, she had accessorized the look with the covetable Dior saddle bag, diamond hoop earrings, and layers of long pendant necklaces.
In a 2018 interview with Refinery29, Lipa opened up about experimental personal style.
"I’ve never really wanted to put myself in a box and say, This is my style and these are my style staples. I love to experiment and play around," she said. "It’s kind of like music: The sound doesn’t just include the face of the artist. And the artist should wear the clothes, not the other way around. Fashion can’t be forced."
As an associate editor at HarpersBAZAAR.com, Chelsey keeps a finger on the pulse on all things celeb news. She also writes on social movements, connecting with activists leading the fight on workers' rights, climate justice, and more. Offline, she’s probably spending too much time on TikTok, rewatching Emma (the 2020 version, of course), or buying yet another corset.
