There are fashion moments, and then there are fashion movements. Dua Lipa, a master of the latter, has consistently used her style to signal a new chapter. For the August 2025 “Icons Issue” of Harper’s BAZAAR, photographed by Anthony Seklaoui, she unveils a vision of modern opulence that is both raw and breathtakingly refined.
Dua Lipa presents as a rebellious siren
In one striking image, Dua presents as a rebellious siren. She wears a delicate, sheer lace bodysuit and a black bandeau, a study in the balance of hard and soft. But the look’s undeniable swagger comes from the accessories: a thick, furry boa, bold rings, and glittering heels with a spiked ankle strap. It’s a powerful combination of textures—the gossamer of the lace, the plush of the fur—that creates a captivating tension. She is posing with a confident defiance that perfectly matches the daring nature of the look.
In another shot, she embodies a different kind of luxury, one rooted in art and grandeur. She pairs a simple, bustier-style top with a sweeping black satin skirt featuring a high slit and exquisite embroidered details of birds in flight. The look feels like a lost artifact from a high-society art collection, a piece that is both elegant and deeply, creatively ambitious. This editorial is a testament to the power of a cohesive creative vision and a high point in recent celebrity fashion.
