Dua Lipa Went Punk Rock For Her Own Met Gala After-Party
A masterclass in maximalist layering done right.
Dua Lipa’s 2023 Met Gala after-party look is a masterclass in maximalist layering done right.
The “Sweetest Pie” singer showed up to her own bash, hosted at Virgo, in an ultra-cool Chanel look that consisted of athleisure and a whole lot of jewelry.
Lipa layered strings of big vintage pearl and chain Chanel necklaces—some with the French fashion house’s name and logo on them—over a sporty black co-ord from Chanel’s spring/summer 2022 collection made up of a bra top and semi-sheer, textured biker shorts. Underneath the shorts, she wore black sheer tights with Chanel’s “CC” logo paired with black pumps with pearls on the heels.

But it didn’t end there. Lipa added more bold accessories to the look, including black leather fingerless gloves encrusted with white faux pearls, matching leather cuffs, big silver earrings, black sunglasses embellished with tiny crystals, and a pearl-and-chain layered Chanel belt with charms spelling the house’s name—a piece which perfectly matched her necklaces.
Lipa's luxe '90s-inspired party look was her third of the night. The pop star shut down the Met Gala red carpet in a black-and-white Chanel tweed ballgown—the same design Claudia Schiffer wore at the brand’s autumn/winter couture show in 1992.
After making her way up the steps of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, she changed into another vintage Chanel look: a sheer black lace dress from the house's spring/summer 1995 collection which was originally worn by Stephanie Seymour on the runway and in a campaign.
