Having paid tribute to the theme of this year's Met Gala in her vintage Chanel ballgown, Dua Lipa has brought us yet another fashion moment, this time on the red carpet at Cannes Film Festival. The star attended the premiere of the film The King of Algiers (Omar la Fraise) by Elias Belkeddar, where the artist also chose to occasion to make it red carpet official with her new beaux, the French director Romain Gavras. (The couple had already been spotted together at the Saint Laurent show during Paris Fashion Week.) For the occasion, Lipa opted for a long, asymmetrical black dress, featuring a dramatic leg slit and cut-out details. The resulting look was effortlessly elegant.
It is no secret that Lipa has earned herself fashion icon status, and the artist regularly wears trending looks, both on the red carpet and via her wardrobe envy-inducing Instagram account, posting snaps of herself wearing looks by young designers and houses of the moment. The ultimate proof of Lipa's unbreakable ties to fashion? “La Vacanza," her hotly anticipated collection designed in collaboration with Donatella Versace, which is slated to launch on May 23 and will be presented at the label's show. A taster of this collaboration has been teased on the Italian house's social media account in the form of a short video, and our bets are on a capsule with a Y2k vibe, possibly featuring butterflies, and Versace's trademark sexy cuts. The collaboration was a natural choice for the singer, who was the face of the label's fall 2022 collection and who opened the Versace spring 2022 show. Watch this space.
