Date night season may have firmly arrived, but whether you’re dressing up for dinner with that special someone, or simply out for a good time with pals to celebrate the end of dry January, what better way to do after-dark chic than in some killer boots? While you’re at it, make them extreme thigh-highs. Dua Lipa has clearly got the right idea.

Ahead of her appearance on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert in New York City, the 26-year-old singer posed backstage n a black halter-neck Blumarine ruffle dress with a striking floral detail, and a pair of pointed patent thigh-high boots that gave the look the dramatic boost it deserved.

This styling trick—courtesy of her close collaborator Lorenzo Posocco—is one the pop superstar has previously employed. Remember the time she rocked the extra tall satin waders by Vetements x Manolo Blahnik at her Paris concert in 2018? Or the classic pair of Rick Owens goth-Tron boots from its spring 2021 collection? Dare to wear a distinctive pair of thigh-highs like Dua and heads will turn.
