Her white floral guipure lacy dress was embroidered with crystals and aluminum rings. Lipa's look was inspired by look 43 from the fashion house's Métiers d’art 2023/24 collection.
The ensemble consisted of a deep v-neck that pointed to a black bow and a white resin embellishment that rested right above her belly button, which was exposed by a small cut-out.The silver and white lacy gown also exposed the Grammy winner's skin from head to toe.

Dua Lipa at London Argylle premiere in January 2024“The record as a whole is more mature,” she said of Radical Optimism, which comes out May 3, in her Time100 interview. “I'm definitely not the same person I was when I wrote my first album. I've evolved and learned so much… taking it as it comes, not seeing anything as bad or something as a setback. That involves a lot of growing and understanding myself, knowing my worth, whether it be in business, love, or friendship.”
