Dua Lipa is one of our favourite celebrities to watch on red carpet. From risk-taking designs to couture ensembles, her latest Italian outing may just be her most decadent look to date. Gracing our Instagram feeds once again last night, the Brit shared a collection of photos from a recent Bulgari event.

A breakdown of the look

On March 23rd, the singer attended a coveted Bulgari event in Bollate, Italy, honouring her role as Global Brand Ambassador, and in true Dua fashion, her outfit was a moment.

She sported a black velvet Balmain gown, which her stylist, Lorenzo Posocco, paired with Bulgari jewels and a sleek black heel. The deep V-neck showcased her statement satin purple bra underneath, welcoming a pop of colour to the all-black ensemble.

The inspiration for the outfit comes from a look in Pierre Balmain’s debut couture collection, and was completed with structured shoulder pads, sheer tights and a thigh-high slit.
