Dua Lipa Brings Cannes Glamour to London

Say it ain't so! The 79th annual Cannes Film Festival might be wrapping up, but leave it to Dua Lipa to keep the high-fashion vibes alive. The "Houdini" singer was recently spotted in London, showing that her style game is as strong as ever.

While in France, Dua wowed fans with a series of killer outfits, including a stunning "grape" and "tomato" ensemble from Ferragamo, a chic Jean Paul Gaultier dress, and a golden Roberto Cavalli bikini. But as the festival ends, Lipa is proving that her fashion parade is far from over.

A Butterfly Moment at Selfridges

On Thursday, all eyes were on Dua at a Selfridges pop-up, celebrating the launch of her skincare line with Augustinus Bader. The fashionista made a splash in a butterfly-printed lace qipao dress from Kim Shui's Spring/Summer 2020 collection. This vibrant piece featured a Mandarin collar and a daring chest cutout, showcasing blue and green butterfly motifs.

"I love how fashion can be a form of self-expression," Lipa has been quoted as saying in the past, and she certainly expressed herself with this ensemble.

Accessories that Roar

Dua's outfit was more than just a dress – it was a statement. She paired her butterfly-themed look with a white leopard-print bag, complete with feathers from Jacquemus's Fall/Winter 2026 "Le Palmier" collection. Her choice of footwear was equally daring, sporting olive-green buckle boots in croc-skin leather, a vintage find from Dior's Fall 2000 line.

Rounding off her look was a touch of sparkle with Bulgari jewelry, including Serpenti drop earrings and rose-gold bracelets and rings. With butterflies, jungle cats, and reptile motifs, Dua's outfit paid homage to the animal kingdom in style.
