On September 28, 2025, photographed by Madison Phipps, Dua Lipa presented a backstage look that served as a masterclass in maximalist celebrity style. This wasn’t merely a concert outfit; it was a carefully composed statement piece, demonstrating how to elevate the classic performance silhouette with archival-quality accessories.
The foundation of the ensemble is a black sequined bodysuit with a dramatic sweetheart neckline, shimmering under the bright backstage lighting. The material catches the light to create a disco-ball effect, a subtle nod to the enduring glamour of the 1970s. However, the true narrative unfolds through the accessories, which transform the simple silhouette into a high-fashion, high-wattage moment. Dua Lipa, known for championing bold statements, loaded the look with chunky, layered accessories that feel unmistakably vintage high-fashion.
A series of necklaces, heavy with pearls and gold chains, are draped over the shoulders and across the torso, effectively turning the bodysuit into a piece of couture armor. The straps themselves are constructed from thick, interlocking pearls, lending a significant weight and texture. A wide black belt cinches the waist, from which more gold chains cascade, crisscrossing the hips and thighs. This heavy, logo-emblazoned hardware elevates the ensemble from simple onstage fashion to an instant cultural reference. The whole look is grounded by fishnet tights and a pair of long, black leather gloves, which are dramatically cuffed with thick rows of oversized pearls. The combination is a perfect storm of tour style, blending the sex appeal of rock and roll with the decadent opulence of Parisian haute couture.
