Hello and welcome to yet another Dua Lipa fashion tribute story. This time, following on from her last two NSFW looks – aka, her exposed thong and micro bra trends – is yet another that is, well, not very safe for work. Nevertheless, it is ∼pure∼ fire. Cue all the flame emojis.
The singer seems to be on an Instagram roll as of late and that is because this is the fourth post of hers to land on our feeds within the last two days alone. Though, I'm not complaining for it is one that allows us to prolong our summer, living vicariously through her holiday pics... GAH. But FOMO aside, her style credentials are even more impressive.
In the full body, laying down, model-esque pics (yes, that is plural because there are four snaps for us to devour) that currently sits on 1.1 million likes, Dua is wearing an asymmetrical cut-out dress that is made from both mesh and opaque black fabrics. The top half of the outfit is completely see-through, bar two triangular patches over the chest and follows all the way up onto the neck. But enough of my explanation (I too can agree that I do not do the look justice), just have a peek for yourselves below:
It's a major underboob moment, right?!
To complement the 'fit, Dua has opted for a juuuust below-the-knee black boot and accessorised with two different types of earrings. On her left side, she wears a small silver hoop and on the right, we see an oval-shaped drop earring. Keeping with the asymmetry I see, hey Dua.
In terms of beauty, the star has kept her look very simple. She's gone for a glowy skin and nude lip makeup combo as well as a soft flat wave in the hair. I mean, the dress does do all the talking, after all.
Everyone's clicking on...
If you need me, I'll be stalking Dua's IG to see what she does next. Cya!
