It isn't just the scorching sunshine that has sent our temperatures soaring; we also have to blame British pop star Dua Lipa, who has successfully schooled us on heatwave fashion.
Stepping out in New York City, the Kosovo-born artist, 30, showed off her summer sartorial prowess in a killer black halterneck dress, adorned with white polka dots.

Not only did the newlywed - who tied the knot with her British actor boyfriend Callum Turner last month - have a black Birkin on her wrist, but she added a Big Apple je ne sais quoi in the form of a navy blue New Era New York Yankees cap.
The accessory spree was complete with a chunky gold chain necklace, the perfect piece to accentuate the dress's plunging neckline and, most importantly, to match the Training Season singer's gold Bulgari watch.

City girl glamour
Dua has been working hard in the studio in back-to-back recording sessions at Electric Lady Studios, but that hasn't stopped the starlet from upping her glamour game.

Dua's exquisite newlywed style
Since the singer has said "I do" - and enjoyed what appeared to be the Italian honeymoon of dreams with her Hollywood heartthrob husband - Dua's newlywed sartorial portfolio has been nothing short of spellbinding.
Keeping the bridal white theme, the Levitating hitmaker attended the 2026 FIFA World Cup Final in the backless top of dreams.

Her rumoured James Bond beau complemented her look perfectly, keeping his outfit in line with all things monochrome, sporting a black T-shirt with slouchy denim jeans and a pair of black sunglasses.
