usually sees her slip into lots of leather and fishnet tights. But last night, the singer dressed up her usual concert style (including the production of her pop hits) during a meaningful performance at The Royal Albert Hall in her hometown of London.
Flanked by a full choir and orchestra, Lipa took the stage in a red corset gown. Reminiscent of Old Hollywood style, the strapless number featured a sweetheart neckline and structured boning, as well as a small leg slit. For added glamour, the singer paired her look with burgundy opera gloves and a matching transparent scarf, which was dramatically wrapped around her neck and over her shoulders.
Lipa’s ensemble took inspiration from those of years past, explaining the retro feel of its design. Her stylist Jahleel Weaver worked with Jean Paul Gaultier to recreate a dress from the spring 2001 couture collection in a custom all-red palette. The only thing missing from her scarlet look were her now-signature burgundy locks, which Lipa traded out for a darker ‘do. “back to my roots,” she captioned one of her many photo dumps from the occasion.
Dua later changed into a custom black Chanel gown that rivaled the intricacy of her first look. Straps embellished with black-and-white beads draped off her shoulders and decorated the bottom of the garment’s ab-baring bodice, while a black rosette accented its halter-neck.
Below, layers of tulle created a large princess skirt, and she accessorized with a small Chanel chain belt with dangling gold charms. transparent black gloves, as well as sparkling statement earrings, helped bring more drama to her look. The “One Kiss” singer then added a black feathered scarf to her outfit once on stage, where she was later joined by Elton John for a performance of their duet, “Cold Heart.”
In a post shared to Instagram, Lipa described the elegant concert as something she’s “been dreaming of putting together for so many years.” Accordingly, she celebrated after with multiple friends, as well as her boyfriend . For her night out, she traded in her lineup of sophisticated gowns for a black sequined dress much more fit for partying. Fringed details and a back cutout had the popstar embracing her usual, edgy style as she danced the night away.
