No one can pull the colour black off the way Dua Lipa does

Truth be told, black is an easy colour to pull off, so much so that it has arguably become everyone’s staple. In many different red carpet events, balls, and even concerts, fans see celebrities don black outfits from head to toe—what is there to hate about a colour that matches a variety of occasions, right?

In 2023, pop singer Dua Lipa was seen wearing all-black outfits in many of her shindigs. And while the respected editor Anna Wintour disproves this style strategy, the New Rules singer seemed to pull it off seamlessly. We list some of them in this article:

1. Goddess in Milan

Who can turn their eyes away from this ultra-sheer lace catsuit by GCDS? During Milan fashion week in February, Dua Lipa turned all heads with her sleek and straight look, which she paired with a heart-shaped red purse.

This is the antithesis of that little black dress they say every woman is supposed to have. At the Versace fashion week at the Pacific Design Center in Hollywood, Dua Lipa wore a long Versace gown which accentuated her figure. The garment has spaghetti straps meeting at the centre of her neckline, making her stand out.
