Dua Lipa Goes Glam in a Black Bustier Gown at the 2024 Golden Globes

Dua Lipa is on presenter duty tonight at the Golden Globes in addition to being a nominee for Best Original Song, Motion Picture. She shares the nod with Caroline Ailin, Mark Ronson, and Andrew Wyatt for their Barbie song “Dance the Night.” Lipa leaned into the spirit of the award season and its glamour, wearing in black Schiaparelli bustier gown with gold. She had her hair styled down in soft waves. She accessorized with Tiffany & Co. jewelry and Jimmy Choo shoes.

Lipa spoke to IndieWire last month about working on the disco track for the film. She had been approached via Instagram DM to work on the project and create another song in that music style. “In my mind, even though I was on the Future Nostalgia tour sonically, I’d already started departing from that idea,” she shared. “So when I got asked to do this song, I was like, ‘All right, one more hurrah. Let’s get back into disco mode for a second.’ And it felt really good.”

With “Dance the Night,” Lipa said of writing the track, the question was “‘how do I do this massive moment justice with the whole cast, and create something that tells Barbie’s story?’ Because essentially, in that [scene], it’s Barbie’s best day ever. How do we create a song that tells that story, that shows that sign of resilience? Where when Barbie says, ‘Have you guys ever thought about dying?,’ and all the other Barbies look to stereotypical Barbie for some kind of reassurance of, ‘What do you mean? What are you talking about?’ She saves face in a way of like, ‘Oh no, I’m just dying to dance.’ It’s the way that she shows strength even when she’s feeling otherwise. That was the whole premise of ‘Dance the Night’ as a song, of how to paint that picture of that emotion.”
