Dua Lipa Brings Elegance to Harper’s Bazaar

In an exclusive feature for Harper’s BAZAAR, the global pop star Dua Lipa brings her style to the forefront, showing the world her unique fashion choices, as she opens up about her relationship and the beauty of falling in love—remarking, “I love love. It is a beautiful thing”. In the midst of all these, she is preparing to embark on the U.S. leg of a world tour in support of her latest album “Radical Optimism.” Dua reflects on her journey, her never ending evolving style. She continues to be an inspiration to her audiences.

With its tradition of honoring women who express both creative vision and singular style, Harper’s BAZAAR finds a natural match in Dua Lipa.

Shot against the romantic backdrop of Paris, with the Eiffel Tower casting its presence over the scene, Lipa is dressed in an oversized, dramatic black jacket by Phoebe Philo, the sleeves are long and exaggerated. She accessorizes with chunky statement bracelets on both arms.

The styling of the shoot was perfect but one look that stood out is the pastel lace bodysuit layered with a black bralette, both from Valentino. Lace represents delicacy and femininity, here it becomes a canvas for boldness especially as it’s been paired with leather’s edge. It’s an outfit that tells a story: a woman who owns her softness but refuses to be defined by it. With all the different styling, each of them not only mirrors the woman in the picture but also the theme she speaks about in the interview—intention, growth, and creativity.

Hair and makeup also contributed to shaping the narrative of this shoot. Soft waves cascade across her shoulders, hinting at an old-Hollywood romance, while her makeup is subtle: defined brows, matte skin and glossy lips that allow the outfits be the centerpiece. Rather than overpowering her natural features, the glam enhances them. All accessories are kept minimal, which was a deliberate choice again not to take the focus away from the outfit.

Beyond their visual beauty, the looks Dua wears signal the trends she’s helping to shape in today’s fashion world. The mix of sheer detailing and styling of lace in two different outfits symbolizes romantic tailoring, where femininity isn’t only about softness but about confidence in each look. In this recent time where vintage-inspired looks merge with modern minimalism, Lipa’s Harper’s BAZAAR feature is unique because it captures the essence of what women are looking for in their personal style, the ability to be both delicate and commanding, at the same time.

Even her words in the interview tie neatly back to the fashion story she’s telling. Reflecting on her music and personal growth, Dua admits that “everything she writes comes true,” in the same way, her styling choices in the Bazaar shoot feel intentional—they’re not just clothes but statements. When she speaks about love, there’s a thread of vulnerability, but the fashion reinforces that vulnerability can exist alongside strength. A sheer bodysuit or flowing gown can signify transparency, honesty, and control.

This Harper’s BAZAAR feature matters because it presents Dua not just as a pop star experimenting with style, but as an influential force redefining what fashion stands for. Her outfits inspire but still feel accessible. They show that today’s elegance is about embracing contrasts—mixing delicate and edgy, or personal and powerful, to create something truly modern.

Final Thoughts
Dua Lipa’s presence in Harper’s Bazaar reflects a woman in command of her image, her narrative, and her artistry. Just as her music defines a generation’s soundtrack, her fashion choices are shaping how that generation chooses to express itself.
