At O2 Academy Brixton in London, Dua Lipa performed in a crystal-covered Palm Angels tracksuit with a lace-up crop top, and the athletic styling still feels current years later.
Big stage energy. Dua Lipa closed the European leg of her self-titled tour at the O2 Academy Brixton in London on November 6, 2017 wearing a crystal-covered Palm Angels tracksuit that pushed straight into early athleisure-glam territory.
The black zip jacket and matching track pants catch light from every angle with dense crystal detailing spread across the fabric, while the white side stripes keep the shape rooted in sportswear. Underneath, the lace-up black crop top cuts through all that shine with a sharper, more aggressive line across the chest. Smart contrast.
And honestly, this mix of tracksuit styling with performance glamour hit at exactly the right time. Back in 2017, everyone was still figuring out how far sportswear could move into pop-stage dressing without losing energy. Dua Lipa leaned fully into it here.
The black sneakers were the right call too. Anything heavier or more theatrical would’ve broken the pace of the outfit immediately. You can tell this look was built for movement first, then stage impact second.
The Brixton performance itself marked a homecoming show for the London-born singer, and tracks like New Rules and Hotter Than Hell already demanded something with more attitude than standard tour styling.
A crystal-covered tracksuit like this fits neatly into the evolution of concert style that later exploded across arena pop tours.
Would you keep the full crystal tracksuit, or strip the jacket away and leave the crop top as the focus?
The side stripes are still the detail keeping the whole look from tipping too far into costume.
The strongest thing about Dua Lipa performing at Brixton is how naturally the sportswear shape holds up under stage lighting.
