Dua Lipa’s Purple Minidress Will Totally Transport You Back to the Best of the ’80s
Dua Lipa’s Future Nostalgia Tour is truly the gift that keeps on giving. Sure, Dua Lipa’s street style never misses, her bikinis are always a 10/10, and her red carpet style is to die for (remember the Versace bondage dress?), but it’s Dua’s onstage wardrobe where her sartorial sensibilities really shine. The singer headlined a show at Primavera Sound, Barcelona’s top music festival, and you know she picked out a cute ’fit to serve “Levitating” realness to the massive crowd.
Her space-cowboy outfits, hot-pink catsuits, and neon lace boots are all proof that Dua has come a long way from her days of go-girl-give-us-nothing dancing. The performance look she wore in Barcelona transported us right back to the ’80s thanks to its bright-violet goodness. Dua wore a bedazzled deep-purple corset with a draped overlay of studded chiffon that served as both a miniskirt and a cover-up to transform the bodysuit into a dress. Her matching choker was made of the same purple chiffon. While you might be thinking that chokers and bright colors are only early-2000s styles, a lot of your favorite Y2K styles are actually based on ’80s fashion because trends cycle back around every 15 to 20 years—hence why your mom keeps commenting how the neon lighting in Euphoria reminds her of the good old days.
Captioned, “!PRIMAVERASOUND! 09.06.2022, Barcelona,” Dua’s photo proves that she continues to love a monochrome moment. Her color of choice this time around (a bright eggplant-violet purple) completely reminds us of zany, electric ’80s fashion. The singer wore pastel lavender eyeshadow and extreme winged liner that’ll pop onstage (even from the nosebleed section), finishing off her look with eye gems, fishnet stockings, purple ankle boots, and geometric earrings.
Dua’s stylist Lorenzo Posocco posted a video of her rocking out onstage with a group of backup dancers to “Love Again” from Future Nostalgia. The coordination! The outfits! The red lights! A whole production, if we do say so ourselves. Lavender has truly been all the rage for 2022, but Dua has us thinking that she might be onto something with the deep purple. But then again, we’d wear anything she wears—her closet is just that good.
