How to ace the Dua Lipa aesthetic for her concert in November
We took inspiration straight from her wardrobe and recreated outfits that we know will make you levitate.
Among the world’s most pressing questions, at the moment, is what do you wear to a concert? We don’t want to make this sound like a first-world problem, but for fashion-forward concert-goers, we understand. Thanks to the massive fan bases—we're talking Beyoncé, Harry Styles, and of course, Taylor Swift—dressing up for concerts has officially become a thing. These artists have managed to create a safe space for fans to express their wildest fashion choices without the fear of seeming out of place. This could be an 11-year-old eagerly rocking glitter on her face or a 32-year-old corporate employee, who is usually dressed in black and white, experimenting with neon colours and sexy silhouettes.
Speaking of concerts, India has seen a massive boost in the live entertainment industry of late. Artists like Coldplay, Ed Sheeran, Diljit Dosanjh, Green Day, Niall Horan, 50 Cent, Alan Walker, and DJ Marshmello have all been flying in to perform here. And who's next in line—Dua Lipa. Now we’re not here to rehash existing information about her upcoming concert, but we are going to address the question of the hour—what can you wear to Dua Lipa’s concert in India? Well, this could be your chance to experiment and show off your boldest fashion choices.
Let’s take it from the top
The outfits that people choose to wear to an artist's concert are heavily influenced by the artists themselves. Lipa’s personal style is bold, experimental, and clean, something you will notice if you scroll through her Instagram page. Or if you’ve seen clips of her concerts, her red-carpet looks, and her public appearances. One thing's for sure—there is no trend she is afraid to explore. The artist really has done it all—from her iconic Schiaparelli gown at the Golden Globes to her stunning MET Gala look in 2019. And who can forget her classic streetwear style—leather jackets, baggy pants, and crop tops? She has gone from blonde to red to jet-black hair. On stage, she sports plenty of bodysuits, with fishnet stockings and boots, while her off-stage look includes stripes and sneakers. Her style is as versatile as it gets, so it's only fair that you embrace one of her many aesthetics, picking the one that resembles your personal style the most.
Sexy bodysuits and corsets
Dua Lipa's love for bodysuits and corsets is no secret, and her styling in her music video 'Illusion' is proof. In the video, Lipa flaunts a sleek black bodysuit with matching tights. And if you want to recreate this look for her concert, all you need is a sexy bodysuit, a pair of boots, and a cute mini-skirt to make it functional and chic. This cut-out bodysuit by Courrèges channels Dua’s style perfectly, especially with this burgundy skirt from Bottega Veneta. And, of course, you can't forget the boots—we found these ones by Saint Laurent that won’t disappoint. If you feel like experimenting, throw on a leather jacket with some chunky golden danglers and a statement ring and you will have an absolutely striking fit!

If Lipa had only five minutes to get ready, we know she’d pick a leather jacket, thrown over an easy white tee and a pair of jeans. And we just know she’d finish it off with a pair of Sambas.
