Dua Lipa Ignites the Stage in Sculptural Bronze Bodysuit

Dua Lipa commands the photoshoot—or dynamic styled shoot—with two diametrically opposed, yet equally impactful, displays of high-wattage glamour and tailored minimalism for this fashion editorial.

In one commanding sequence, Dua Lipa unveils an outfit built for maximum kinetic energy. The central piece is a bronze-and-gold beaded bodysuit, a piece of apparent high fashion that catches the stage lights with blinding intensity. The entire garment is densely embellished with iridescent sequins and dimensional beading, creating a textural, sculptural effect, particularly around the neckline and shoulders where the beading appears to form organic, almost shell-like, formations.

The bodysuit’s powerful silhouette is paired with fishnet stockings—a rock-and-roll staple—and long, sheer black opera-length gloves dotted with black micro-beading, extending the texture from the body to the fingertips. The singer’s signature long, dark hair is left cascading down her back, a dramatic, liquid contrast to the metallic texture of the outfit. Her expression is focused, embodying the energy and drive of a modern pop icon during a celebrity photoshoot that doubles as a masterclass in performance wear.

The alternate look presents a softer, more ambiguous narrative. Standing against a luminous, golden backdrop, Dua Lipa embodies a sense of editorial chic that leans into deconstruction. She wears an oversized white button-down shirt featuring delicate vertical stripes and a subtle sheer organza or silk fabric. The sleeves are dramatically voluminous, pushing the boundaries of classic shirting.

This piece is styled unconventionally with dark olive-green trousers that feature an innovative, draped overlay or suspended panel. The tailoring is sharp yet relaxed, creating a silhouette that is both undone and precisely constructed—the very definition of high fashion. Her makeup remains polished and luminous across both scenes, with a subtly defined eye and neutral lip, proving that great beauty shot styling requires a clean canvas, regardless of the outfit’s extravagance.

The duality in these images—the explosive, maximalist stage look juxtaposed with the subtle, architectural studio portrait—cements Dua Lipa’s status as a muse for contemporary celebrity fashion—she masters the whisper and the scream.
