Dua Lipa Made A Subtle Style Statement On Her Birthday Trip
She kept things simple for her 31st.
While the majority of us feel summer slowing down and weekend trips coming to a close, Dua Lipa’s holiday season is only just getting started. To celebrate her 31st birthday on August 22, the superstar took a scenic trip to an unexpected destination: Ghent in upstate New York.
Alongside her husband, Callum Turner, Lipa took in the grassy, nature-filled sights in an outfit packed with minimalist wardrobe staples. The star of the ensemble was undoubtedly her red long-sleeve sweater, which she innovatively looped around her neck like a scarf. She layered it over a plain white V-neck tank top from Flore Flore — an Amsterdam-based brand inspired by the fashion of Copenhagen and New York — and a black double-belted kilt-style midi skirt by Vivienne Westwood. The full look was rounded out by her trusty maroon Chanel East-West shopping bag. The “Training Season” singer has been spotted wearing the croc-embossed tote on several occasions over the last few months, with this latest outing solidifying the silhouette as her official go-to accessory.
She shared multiple snaps of her look to Instagram, which she completed with knee-high leather boots and blacked-out oval sunglasses, writing in her caption, “Birthday weekend...thank you for all the love and wishes!!! Ready for my next lap around the sun...it just keeps getting better.”
The color palette of her look is also a recurring theme for the newlywed. On a recent jaunt in Europe, Lipa centered her outfit around a similarly burgundy-and-white top (of course paired with her beloved bag). On a separate summer night leaving Electric Lady Studios in downtown New York City, Lipa paired her classic blue denim jeans with a white T-shirt, white button-up, and black boots with a fiery red Polo Ralph Lauren jacket and a matching bandana. And to further prove this is her current favorite color pairing, the artist has also been seen carrying a massively oversized red, white, and blue-striped Chanel beach bag — using it first as a carry-on at JFK International Airport and then as an everyday satchel on a Bachelorette trip to Italy.
During her New York getaway, she and Turner visited Art Omi, an art center featuring rotating installations of work by contemporary artists and architects. The couple particularly enjoyed “TunnelTeller,” an immersive outdoor concrete sculpture by Berlin-based artist Alicja Kwade. Between slides of her style details, Lipa included flicks of the two in and around the futuristic exhibit, plus some snippets of the many celebratory desserts they shared over the weekend. After Lipa’s picturesque retreat, it seems upstate New York has earned its place as an it girl-approved vacation hotspot.
