If Dua Lipa isn’t onstage in a glittering Mugler corset and stompy Gucci boots, she’s sunning herself in an itsy bitsy bikini in Sicily, enjoying Ibiza in a birthday Jacquemus dress, or swathed in Chanel for date night in Paris. Now on the South American leg of her Radical Optimism tour, she’s embracing the bold Brazilian style.
The British pop star was photographed heading out to dinner with friends at a famous steakhouse in Rio de Janiero, Braseiro de Gávea. Dressed in a carnival-ready color palette, Lipa wore a lilac Fanci Club bustier corset with lacy red undercladding, paired with indigo blue straight leg jeans from Calvin Klein, lilac Jimmy Choo Jenna MM mules, and a leopard print Maison Margiela Loved to Death tote bag. She also added a stack of gold necklaces: a Martha Calvo chain that features religious iconography, and another mushroom pendant necklace from the same Miami jewelry brand.
A look turned for some very good steak and local beer with pals, it was a signature Dua Lipa fit; the singer loves a cinched and sculpted moment (usually via Courreges or Gaultier) and a statement accessory. Lipa also sported her chunky Tiffany Co. engagement ring from fiancé Callum Turner. (Who is currently shooting his movie One Night Only in New York with Monica Barbaro.)
Lipa has been making the most of her time in South American so far; she was spotted at São Paulo Circoloco festival with friends, raving to Tiesto, in a Brazil flag-esque yellow, blue, and green adidas track jacket. On another evening out in the city dancing with local Passistas, she wore a sheer leopard print slip dress and red Le Silla Belen stilettos.
With a sold-out show happening this weekend in Rio and more dates across Peru and Mexico, expect to see both stage-ready and South American summer fits. As Dua Lipa so likes to do, dressing, eating, and partying like the locals.
