Dua Lipa commanded attention in a skintight black leather gown ahead of her opening act at the Brit Awards 2024, where she was named winner of the Best Pop Act category.
The 28-year-old singer is an absolute red-carpet winner in my book; her sleek, edgy style, often paired with a sophisticated, playful flair, always fascinates me.

A Testament to Style: The Versace Leather Gown
Her appearance at this year’s Brit Awards was no different as she showed up in a sleek black leather Versace dress that accentuated every inch of her curves.
Dua Lipa’s red Valentino BAFTA gown, in my opinion, is the best outfit she’s worn so far this awards season, but I don’t mind if she continues to wear more form-fitting dresses since I find the cut attractive on her toned frame.
The Argylle star flaunted her hourglass figure in the custom Versace black leather gown with a plunging double v-neck, which I think added to the sultry allure of the form-fitting outfit. The exquisite gown had thick straps that held the garment in place and was wrapped snugly around the waist before fanning out into a softly pleated mermaid skirt with a short train.
She completed the look with a timeless pair of black pointed-toe heels that were hardly seen beneath her dress.
I love how her skintight gown accentuated her tall physique, but I can’t help but imagine how difficult it must have been for her to walk, let alone sit.

Accessorizing the Look: Tiffany & Co. Jewelry
Lorenzo Posocco complemented the powerful vibe of the ensemble with an assortment of Tiffany & Co. sterling silver jewelry.
He secured the $3,675 Tiffany Forge Large Link Necklace around Lipa’s neck and adorned her wrist with the $4,000 Elsa Peretti Small Bone Cuff in Sterling Silver with Black Jade.
The Link Rings in Blackened Sterling Silver and High-Polished Sterling Silver, $675 each, completed her opulent appearance.
Lipa’s strong and fierce personality went well with the tough-chic edge that the silver jewelry added to her already intimidating appearance.

Makeup and Hair: A Bold Statement
Lisa Eldridge gave Lipa plenty of mascara and eyeliner for a Cleopatra-inspired glam look. She also applied a dab of nude lipstick and a flush to her cheeks.
I love how the dominatrix aura of Dua Lipa’s attire was perfectly complemented by her Cherry Coke-colored hair, fashioned by Peter Lux and dyed by Matt Rez.

Dua Lipa Electrifies the Brit Awards Crowd with Levitating Performance of Training Season
After strutting her stuff on the red carpet, Dua Lipa hurriedly changed into another black leather ensemble for her opening act. She electrified the crowd with her performance of her new single, Training Season, the second single off her upcoming third album, which is expected to be released in late 2024.
I am always in awe of Dua Lipa’s performances. They are exceptional, and she has this infectious energy and stage presence that always captivates audiences.

Wearing black leather hot pants with lace-up sides, a black bra, and a daring open leather jacket, the Barbie actress hit the stage with her band and backup dancers and delivered an impeccably choreographed performance.
Dancers were floating around The O2 Arena, and at one point, two of them carried Lipa off the ground and into the air.
I applaud her for pulling off all that while wearing black leather knee-high boots with lace-up shafts and high-block heels.
“I love to add a little bit of danger to my performances,” Lipa told the press of her risky performance. “It’s all just about having fun and creating a spectacle, and I mean, what better place to do that than at home in London, at the Brits?”

Dua Lipa Collects Best Pop Act Trophy in Leather Corset and Pants
After her riveting performance, Dua Lipa returned to the stage to collect her Best Pop Act trophy, beating out Calvin Harris, Charli XCX, Olivia Dean, and Raye.
She looked incredible as she slipped her toned figure into another black leather ensemble, this time by Chrome Hearts, consisting of a strapless leather corset top and belted black leather pants.

I like how she stayed true to her concept for the evening without making it dull. She enhanced her edgy vibe by accessorizing with multiple silver jewelry from Tiffany & Co.
She layered the $3,675 Large Link Necklace and the $3,150 Tiffany HardWear Graduated Link Necklace around her neck and decorated her hands with the $1,800 Elsa Peretti Split Cuff and the same Tiffany Forge Link rings.
Dua pulled her burgundy tresses into a side-parted bun, revealing her Tiffany & Co. Forge Single-Link Earrings, while a pair of rectangular sunglasses completed her look.

“Amazing, thank you so much!” she began her speech. “I guess more reasons than one, my fans are the reason why I’m standing here today. So I wanna say a massive thank you to each and every single one of you who voted for me. This means so much, I’m so, so happy to be here. You guys give me this radical sense of confidence that I can do anything and that I can try and I can experiment. You guys are there for me, and you guys have supported me. And all the love and the support and the optimism is what inspires me, so thank you so much.”
She went on to thank her dad, Dukagjin Lipa, who also serves as her manager. “But beyond that, it takes a village. So I wanna thank my dadager. I love you. I’m so grateful we get to do this together,” she said while pointing at her father.
She concluded her speech by thanking her team, including her dancers, band, and everyone at Warner Records, because “they’ve looked after me since the beginning.”
