Never one to back down from bold style choices, Dua Lipa commanded attention in a racy sheer dress at the special screening of Barbie held at the Peninsula on November 28, 2023.
This marked her first public appearance since reportedly ending her eight-month romance with Romain Gavras.
Sheer Brilliance: Dua Lipa’s Bold Choice in Gucci’s Naked Dress
The 28-year-old singer frequently wears outfits that spark controversy, and her latest was no different when she stepped out on a chilly evening wearing a see-through sheer dress by Gucci.
Showing Gavras what he’s missing, Dua went braless underneath a black naked dress that flawlessly accentuated every inch of her curves.

The exquisite floor-length number was adorned with beaded fringes artfully arranged in a zigzag chevron pattern to cover her modesty.
It was fastened at the strapless neckline with the house’s gold-tone horseshoe buckle and was finished with a daring hip-high slit.
Dua layered a pair of high-waisted black briefs underneath her see-through dress for extra coverage. Given the continued popularity of naked dresses on the red carpet, it seems likely that this style will continue even during the cold winter months.

Winter Chic: Dua Lipa Pairs Sheer Dress With Stylish Knee-High Boots
Anwar Hadid’s ex-girlfriend paired her see-through naked dress with knee-high boots to keep her toes warm. This understated winter essential was cut from smooth leather and featured pointed toes, sleek center seam detail, and towering high heels.
Before making her way to the Peninsula Hotel, the singer was pictured leaving her Greenwich Hotel wearing an opulent black faux fur coat over her racy outfit.
Giving off regal vibes, the cozy, ankle-length outerwear featured oversized sleeves and a collar to ward off the winter chill. She kept the fuzzy coat open for a fashion-forward winter look.

Elegantly Accessorized: Dua Lipa Balances Sultry Dress with Minimalist Touches
Allowing her sultry outfit to speak for itself, Dua kept her accessories to a minimum. She wore her neck unadorned, skipping any diamonds in favor of a thick gold bangle on one wrist.
Dua, who tapped London-based stylist Lorenzo Posocco to curate her evening look, tied the look with a black croc clutch featuring a gold-tone front clasp.
Her cherry-red hair, which Evanie Frausto had fashioned using Bumble & Bumble products, was worn down in soft waves with a side part. Samantha Lau, meanwhile, gave Dua a radiant glow with a rust-brown lip color to finish her seductive look.

Street Style Icon: Dua Lipa Rocks a Moto Jacket in Post-Event NYC Look
A day after the Barbie event, Dua Lipa was spotted out and about in NYC sporting yet another chic look, although this time, she opted to keep her enviable figure under wraps.
The Grammy-winning musician radiated cool-girl energy as she stepped out in a shiny black moto jacket and low-rise wide-leg jeans, evoking the 1980s.
Dua wrapped herself in the loose-fitting outerwear, which featured contrasting trims, zipping it up to her neck. She paired the chic jacket with low-rise, wide-leg jeans, revealing a hint of her flat abs.
