For lovers of glitz and glamour, it's been a long wait to get to party season, but finally, it’s within reach. Perhaps the only time of the year when you can go all out with sparkles and shimmer, the festive season brings immense joy to the fashion-obsessed, including Dua Lipa.
The It-Brit singer, songwriter and overall muse knows a thing or two about after-dark dressing. When she’s not performing to hundreds of thousands on stage, she can usually be found out and about in London or New York on lavish dates with her fiancé, Callum Turner. More often than not, her pop-star wardrobe doesn't differ too much from her off-duty wardrobe, and her most recent Instagram post proved just that.

Dua’s particular dress, hailing from the FW24 collection, features hundreds of large gold and silver paillettes, fixed together with dainty chains to create a composition that mimics high-fashion armour. Because of how the dress is constructed, it gives off an almost sheer vibe. Dua added a matching black bra and underwear set underneath to perfect the ‘underwear as outerwear’ aesthetic.

All in all, Dua’s recent look is the blueprint for party season dressing, so if you’re on the fence on whether or not your look might be a little too much, check yourself at the door…
