Dua Lipa's Messy Waves Made Her Look Like an Indie Sleaze Mermaid

Fit for her movie star era.

If you're a fan of Dua Lipa, you know that her always changes with her eras. When we first met her, she had her classic dark brown almost black, hair—the look you saw in "New Rules." Her next era saw her experiment with blonde, with half-and-half styling and streaks of bleached strands, like in "Don't Start Now." Now, her hair is a perfect pop star red to mark her latest era and upcoming album. However, since this era also comes with her first major movie appearance, she is dressing it up a bit—like any good multihyphenate would do.

On January 24, Dua Lipa was in London to attend the world premiere of her new spy-thriller, Argylle. Of course, as one of the stars of the film, she had to show up dressed chic and mysterious, like any international crime fighter would, which she did, down to her indie sleaze wavy hair.

Though the entire look was top-tier, we couldn't stop staring at her hair. The perfect, wavy, messy-chic look, all of Lipa's cherry cola hair was parted down the middle, reaching her chest. With waves on the tighter side, nearly every inch of her strands were styled in a sort of brushed-out crimped style that added to the edge. To give even more indie sleaze energy, Lipa left some strands as stylish flyaways, a tad more frizzed than her waves. This helped give the look its volume and solidified the edgy chic vibes.

As we watched the waves bounce across the red carpet through the lenses of cameras, it was hard not to also notice the entire look that matched her hair.

Nearly the same color as her hair, her custom Gucci by Sabato De Sarno dress was a shimmering deep red hue. The strapless gown continued all the way to the floor, slightly trailing behind her. Across the whole dress, there were layers of burgundy sequins reflecting the light in various different sizes. Some sparkles, like by her waist, were bigger. Others, like the ones on her chest, were smaller. Across the hemline, there was a lining of black velvet, helping tie in her tattoos and makeup.

Framed by her wavy dark red hair was a glowing, hydrating base for her classic, sleazy makeup to shine. Her eyes were the focal point of the makeup; her water lines were coated with black liner, getting heavier around the corners. She had a sharp, small wing peeking out from the long, fluttery lashes. Of course, adding some sequin-esque silver glitter to her lids and lower lash line. Sculpted brows, matte mauve lips, and a touch of blush finished the look.
