Dua Lipa is on fire, and in the best way possible. Not only is she one of the world's most popular pop stars — Miss Dula Peep has been promoting her hit album Future Nostalgia for almost two years now! — but she is also quickly becoming a fashion icon of her own. And rightfully so.
During Milan Fashion Week in September, she both opened and closed the Versace fashion show, making her global runway debut. It wasn't a surprise for fans who have been watching her relationship and love for the brand develop for years. But, before Versace, before fashion week, before runways and even red carpets, Dua was just like up: A fun-loving kid rocking some classic Gen Z trends, like knitted sweaters and oversized hoodies and pants. If you're looking to go down memory lane, here's a comprehensive list documenting Dua's style moments over the years, from Miss Peep to Global Queen.

Another day, another Dua photo dump we are grateful for. This time around, the singer shared some slides featuring behind-the-scenes glimpses from her U.K. tour, including a snapshot of her casual ‘fit featuring an exposed G-string. Of course, she rounded off the look with a cozy sweater, low-rise baggy jeans, a daddy camp, a clutch from Glenn Martens’s Diesel, and a Rimowa phone case.

What do you wear when the weather is getting warmer but it's still chilly out? A lace-up top and aviator jacket, of course. While in Seattle, Dua stepped out wearing this great fully lace-up top from Jean Paul Gaultier (yup, the same top Rihanna wore to show off her baby bump) that perfectly showed her belly ring. She kept warm with an equally statement-making jacket from British skateboard brand PALACE and, of course, added her own flair with an array of accessories including acrylic rings, giant "pilot" sunglasses from Tom Ford, and starfish-shaped gold earrings.

During an appearance at The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, Dua Lipa recreated her “Don't Start Now” viral dance wearing the biggest fur boots. “I don't know if I can do it on these boots, but you know what? Snow, boots, rain, wind, shine, whatever,” the star says before blessing us with the dance once again. Dua rounded off her look with a two-piece set from Area's Collection 02, featuring a heart-shaped top and a mini skirt.

Earlier that same day, Dua was spotted wearing a full-denim look from Glenn Martens’s Diesel Fall 2022 Ready-to-Wear collection.

Dua is no stranger to a monochrome moment but she always finds ways to incorporate elements that will give her ‘fits a different flair. While in NYC, she wore a lime green dress from Y/Project paired with rainbow-detailed dad sneakers from Balenciaga, Bottega sunglasses, a JW Anderson bag, and a Y2K-esque cap from Marc Jacobs’s Heaven line.

Just a few days after stunning in a neon green catsuit by Balenciaga, Dua Lipa did it again. The star took to the stage in another breathtaking bodysuit, this time by Mugler. According to Casey Cadwallader, the brand's creative director, the couture piece, custom-made for Dua in Paris, featured no less than 120,000 crystals. Iconic behavior.

Another day, another killer look from Ms. Lipa. This time, as noted by Vogue, the star took to Instagram to tease her tour donning an impressive flower crop top designed by Nikita Chekrygin from Russia-based label Ch4rm. According to the fashion bible, the top features individual petals that were made separately and then sewn together with transparent layers to create a 3D effect. (If you scroll through Dua's post, you can see more angles.)

If you haven't yet gotten the memo: Moon Boots are trending and, of course, Dua was bound to have the hottest boots of the moment. The singer snapped a few pictures to her Instagram while preparing for her Future Nostalgia Tour wearing the $140 Red Icon Moon Boots, white jeans, and the Yeezy X GAP puffer jacket. (Spoiler alert: these are not her only pair of Moon Boots!)

There's no better way to ring in the New Year than with sparkles, especially since it's one of 2022's biggest fashion trends. So, it only makes sense that Dua wore a shimmery eyeshadow and a dazzling skirt to match. As if that wasn't bright enough, the star also wore a glittering dress with an open back and cut outs.
November 2021
Dua made an appearance overseas in London to attend the taping of An Audience with Adele, a one-night performance by the iconic singer, which is slated to broadcast on November 21. While there, she sported a head-to-toe Blumarine look from the brand's SS22 collection, which featured a baby-pink two-piece ensemble with butterfly fixtures and bold cutouts. According to Dua's IG, the fit was styled by Lorenzo Posocco, with makeup by Lisa Eldridge and hair courtesy of Luke Hersheson.
October 2021
Why pick a ‘70s aesthetic when you can just combine them all? For the Versace x Frieze event in London, Dua decided to do just that, wearing this disco-punk ensemble by, of course, Versace. Styled by Lorenzo Posocco, the star's mini skirt and crop top featured disco shimmer galore and were rounded off with golden safety pins. To seal the deal, Dua also rocked neon yellow safety pin earrings, a matching purse adorned with the brand's iconic Medusa head, and satin green stilettos.

To round of the look, and even though the pictures were taken well into the night, the star posed with black shades and a lip-shaped ring with the Union Jack.

Alongside boyfriend Anwar Hadid, Dua's interestingly strapped brown trench is a moment. But the real star of the outfit is, however, the green plaid skirt from Attico she's wearing beneath. (That said, the pair's dog, Dexter, still steals the show.)

Cut-outs are in, at least according to Dula Peep. There's a lot going on here, from the skin visibility to the black and white pattern of the dress from German brand Ottolinger. Dua pulls it off by keeping the rest of the ensemble simple, opting for sneakers and sleek hair.

Stepping out in Manhattan, Dua is rocking some Gen-Z realness with this look, even if her age disqualifies her from officially being a part of the younger crowd. Her cropped top and matching flowy skirt are side characters to her Daschund purse. Not that's a fashion gal.

If there's one thing Dua Lipa can nail time and time again is giving her fans the performance they deserve. At the 2021 iHeartRadio Music Festival in Las Vegas, the "Future Nostalgia" singer slipped into a bedazzled purple leotard with sheer black tights.
