Famed for her unique style, Dua Lipa engages the creative flair of Lorenzo Posocco for her array of performance outfits, street style, and red carpet aesthetic. Posocco’s influence was unmistakable in Lipa’s appearance in Pop Smoke’s video “Demeanor”, which showcased an intricate 18th-century-inspired couture outfit. Yet, the piece that stole the show and caught everyone’s attention was a stunning gold corset.
The magnificent corset, adorned with bows along the bustier and metallic threads on the sleeves, traces back to the Jean Paul Gaultier archives. This iconic piece debuted on the 1998 spring/summer runway at Paris Haute Couture Fashion Week. Remarkably, the corset seamlessly meshed with Lipa’s grand ballroom skirt, while its gilded details mirrored her dazzling VRAM jewels. Behind the scenes, both Lipa and Posocco reveled in this nostalgic fashion statement, a renaissance that unfolded 23 years later.
For a glimpse into the rich lineage of this Jean Paul Gaultier piece, take a look at its original showcase on the runway. And then, revel in the spectacle of Dua Lipa resurrecting it with her riveting dance steps in “Demeanor”.
