It’s fair to say that Dua Lipa’s lockdown has been busier than most. Between the release of her sophomore album Future Nostalgia in March, her upcoming remix album featuring the likes of Madonna and Gwen Stefani, and—if rumors are to be believed—a secret project with Miley Cyrus, you’d think Lipa would barely have time to put together her usual run of fashion-forward looks. Yet from Paco Rabanne crop tops to crochet care bear bikinis, Lipa has been using this summer’s heatwave as an opportunity to take her playful sense of style to the next level.
For her latest showstopping fit, Lipa took to Instagram sporting a custom Chanel two-piece, riffing on the contrast trims of the French house’s classic tweed jackets. Here, the look from the brand’s pre-fall 2020 collection was reinterpreted for balmy summer days in a thin fabric with matching hotpants, lending it a fresh, ’60s-inspired twist. (For those wondering, her co-star for the pic was Dexter, the rescue puppy she recently adopted with her boyfriend, Anwar Hadid.) By finishing off the look with a high ponytail and a simple chain necklace to match, Lipa’s mod-inspired take on a high fashion classic hit all the right notes for perfect poolside summer style.
