Dua Lipa channels retro glamor in a red corset dress


Dua Lipa channels retro glamor in a red corset dress

Dua Lipa's concert style She is usually seen slipping into lots of leather and fishnet tights. But last night the singer changed up her usual concert style (including producing her pop hits) at a momentous performance at the Royal Albert Hall in her hometown of London.

Flanked by a full choir and orchestra, Lipa took the stage in a red corset dress. Reminiscent of Old Hollywood style (and perhaps Jessica Rabbit), the strapless number features a sweetheart neckline and structured boning, as well as a thigh-high leg slit. For added glamour, the singer paired her look with burgundy opera gloves and a matching sheer scarf that wrapped dramatically around her neck and over her shoulders.

Lipa's ensemble took inspiration from those of years past, explaining the retro feel of his design. Her stylist Jahleel Weaver worked with Jean Paul Gaultier to recreate a dress from the Spring 2001 Couture collection in a custom all-red color palette. The only thing missing from her scarlet look was her now-signature burgundy locks, which Lipa traded in for a darker color. “Back to my roots,” she captioned one of her many photo dumps from the occasion.

Later, Dua changed into a custom black Chanel dress that rivaled the complexity of her first look. Black and white beaded straps hung from her shoulders and adorned the bottom of the garment's crop top, while a black rosette accented the halterneck.

Below, layers of tulle formed a full princess skirt, which she accessorized with a small Chanel chain belt with dangling gold charms. Sheer black gloves as well as sparkling statement earrings helped add more drama to her look. The “One Kiss” singer then accessorized her outfit with a black feather scarf as she took to the stage, where she was later joined by Elton John for a performance of their duet “Cold Heart.”

In a post shared on Instagram, Lipa described the elegant concert as something she “has dreamed of putting on for so many years.” Accordingly, she then celebrated with several friends and her boyfriend Callum Turner. For her night out, she swapped her choice of elegant dresses for a black sequined dress that was much more suitable for partying. Fringe details and a cut-out back ensured the pop star embraced her usual edgy style as she danced the night away.
