Dua Lipa is single-handedly reviving Y2K fashion. Here are 23 of her most creative looks (so far…)
Dua Lipa is a living embodiment of the celebrity multi-hyphenate: she's at the top of her game musically (winning her fifth Brit Award earlier this year), is making her acting debut in spy thriller Argylle, and is even launching her own lifestyle platform, Service95.
She's also pretty much responsible for the Y2K fashion revival that seems to be taking the world (and our Insta feeds) by storm. Whether she's gracing the red carpet with a momentous, high-voltage gown, or updating her social media with endless carousels of achingly cool designer pieces, Dua's style is always evolving. And yes, we love to see it.
Lorenzo Posocco, Dua's long-term stylist and collaborator, told Paper, why he enjoys working with celebrities, saying, "I love fashion editorials but they don't generally have the same reach and impact of music and celebrities," adding that “I grew up bingeing on MTV, music videos constantly playing on the telly. I understand first hand the impact they can have on anyone, no matter what country, demographic, background.”
We can all agree that Dua Lipa's fashion sense has made quite the impact. That's why GLAMOUR has created a selection of Dua and Lorenzo's most innovative looks (so far), from her playful street style (think butterfly motifs and green cow prints) to her high-fashion debut on the Versace runway.
Here are 23 of Dua Lipa's most iconic looks:
Forget everything you know about winter fashion. This season we're not wrapping up warm; we're donning a pair of Hello Kitty snow boots and a bikini à la Dua.

Dua Lipa / InstagramWe all love an impromptu photo shoot in the street, right? Well, we'd love it even more if we could wear this mesh Jean Paul Gaultier look from their SS97 collection.
Dua Lipa / InstagramRemember in The Lizzie McGuire Movie when Lizzie and Isabella come together to sing ‘This is What Dreams Are Made Of’? Well – if you ask us – this look references Lizzie's glittering purple trouser suit and Isabella's emerald blazer and skirt set (if you know, you know). We're sure that's precisely what Dua thought when she wore this look, direct from Versace's SS22 collection.
Dua Lipa / InstagramThis David Koma dress from their Resort 2022 Collection is so on-brand, you'd be forgiven for thinking it was custom-made for Dua. Mesh panels? Check. Glittery nipple pasties? Check? Throw in some Balenciaga sunnies and you have a certified Dua Lipa look.

Dua Lipa / InstagramIf you told us this time last year that we'd all be lusting after green cow print, we probably wouldn't have believed you. However, if you'd said Dua Lipa would be wearing it…well, that's a different story. We're obsessed with this look, which Lorenzo Posocco revealed was a piece by Mowalola.
