30 Of Dua Lipa’s Best Looks, In Honor Of Her 30th Birthday

Baby’s first Met, and the first of many Versace collaborations with then-creative director Donatella Versace. The theme was “Camp: Notes On Fashion,” and if your wig isn’t wearing jewelry, are you even doing camp?

Oh, this old thing? Dua’s Valentino Haute Couture dress turned heads (and probably left a trail of fluorescent-orange feathers in her wake).

Another Valentino Haute Couture moment, worn mid-pandemic to bring a bit of sparkle with her soon-to-be chart-dominating hit, “Levitating.”

A little cold never hurt anybody, and Dua seems impervious to the conditions in her Richard Quinn x Moncler puffed and padded look.

Make that three Grammys to put on her London fireplace. She wore an Atelier Versace butterfly dress to scoop up Best Pop Vocal Album for Future Nostalgia.

This custom Versace look showed off her unbelievable abs, and made new fans out of many straight men around the world.

Once you get the Elton John stamp of approval as a young pop star, it’s only up from there. Dua wore Balenciaga Couture to join Elton on the keys during his Oscars viewing party.

Who better to call on for an outfit at the Brits than Vivienne Westwood? This pays homage to English powerhouses of the past while firmly establishing her as a force of her own — both in music (she picked up two awards that night) and in fashion.

A deep cut that we felt necessary to include, thanks to its ultrarare status. This Prada Spring 2010 dress has been worn in skirt version by Kylie Jenner and hunted down by secondhand dealers since it walked the runway some 16 years ago.

It’s Fendi. Wait, it’s Versace. No, it’s both. The Italian runway collab of everyone’s wet dreams had Dua as a front-row guest, and she was easily best-dressed in this slinky Fendi-monogram-meets-Versace-chainmail dress.

A full Diesel look on a random weekday in New York, matching denim bag and all. It’s not easy to be this cool, but it’s worth it.

Versace + Dua + the Grammys = unparalleled serves. This 1992 archival pull, originally worn by Christy Turilington, found a new home on Dua’s bottle-blonde moment.

The Mugler bodysuit seen around the globe. This is in its most simple version (black) but she also wore custom red and gold versions on her 71-stop world tour.

Everyone was up in arms about her wearing white to a wedding, but when the dress code is white and the designer of your dress is one of the grooms, who are you to say no?

I vividly remember Dua posting from the dentist’s chair in this Luar and Balenciaga look, and only she (and Rihanna) would serve so hard in the name of dental hygiene.

She’s not just a glamour queen, she can serve executive realness when necessary. This suit from The Attico was as relaxed as we’ll see her at an event.

Oh, you know, just something simple to sit front row next to Carine Roitfeld at her friend Guiliano Calzo’s runway show.

The Met-Gala evolution is real. Just four years after her first time on the infamous staircase, she came back — as a co-chair, no less — and in a recreation of a 1995 Chanel couture look originally worn by Claudia Schiffer. And that Tiffany & Co. diamond? Casually over 100 carats.

A rare hair switch-up and one of the few custom Celine looks she’s ever worn. It’s South-of-France bombshell, only for Cannes.

Perfect tan, fresh blowout, a dash of makeup, and a custom mesh Bottega Veneta sparkly dress. She’s Dua Barbie, of course.

Dua received her first-ever Golden Globe nomination for her Barbie soundtrack song, “Dance The Night,” and wore this skeletal Schiaparelli gown (and sickening Tiffany & Co. teardrop necklace) to enter Hollywood’s big leagues.

To promote her new era, Dua went fiery red, and this fish-scale Courrèges number played so well with not only her dye job, but the fishies on her necklace.

How do you close out your headlining show at Glastonbury, one you directly manifested for years? In a custom studded and crystallized Loewe bodysuit, natch.

As if her year of Radical Optimism wasn’t busy enough, Dua took to London’s most historic stage for an intimate concert of reimagined hits, backed by the Heritage Orchestra. This Jean Paul Gaultier look is vampy and takes up just the right amount of space.

Dua’s second look of the night was from Chanel, and was so intricately crafted and singular, the brand displayed it museum-style at their New York boutique.

When you share the stage with Cher, you better come correct. This custom Chrome Hearts leather dress gave Heart of Stone in the best way possible.

Dua counts Spanish auteur Pedro Almodóvar as a friend (casual), and she presented him with an award wearing a door-knocker necklace and delightfully sexy Schiaparelli dress.

Most pop artists see the countries they tour in through the windows of a tour bus or private plane, but Dua is never one to sit out a chance for some culture. She popped into the Museo del Prado in Dilara Findikoglu.

Dua had not one, but two sold-out nights at the most infamous stage in the United Kingdom, and paid homage to Union Jack with a custom Balenciaga look lined with the national flag.

Ibiza Dua is her optimal form: vacationing, tan, with a Parliament Light and spicy margarita never out of reach. This custom GCDS dress was one of many worn for her early 30th celebrations, and quickly earned a spot on this list thanks to its flattering cutouts and encapsulation of Dua’s style.
