Dua Lipa Dazzles in a Sheer Silver Dress to Welcome 2026
Dua Lipa welcomed 2026 in her most stunning looks.
The 30-year-old star flaunted a series of fashionable outfits as she celebrated the new year on Instagram on Thursday, January 1.
Lipa turned heads in a striking ensemble adorned with a flame motif across her bodice, featuring a daring neckline and leather patchwork. She paired this bold look with silver cross earrings and a detailed manicure with vibrant polka dots. Her makeup was kept minimal, highlighting her natural beauty with just a hint of mascara and lip liner. Holding a cocktail, Lipa playfully posed for the camera.
Her sister, Rina Lipa, also exuded style during the celebrations. Wearing a semi-sheer silver dress that captured attention, the sequin-adorned outfit featured halter straps, a scoop neckline, and a body-hugging silhouette.
At 24, Rina accessorized with diamond drop earrings and delicate silver rings. She sported soft glam makeup with golden-brown eyeshadow, rosy cheeks, and shiny pink lips. Her brunette locks were styled with a middle part and soft, voluminous curls.
“This feels like a Facebook post,” Dua captioned a series of photos. “☆HAPPY NEW YEAR 2026☆ Sending you all love, joy, and blessings for the year ahead☆ Thank you for making my last year so memorable☆ I’m excited to make this one even better☆!!!!!” Fans flooded the comments with well-wishes.
“Happy new year my queen ❤️,” one wrote. Another added, “Love the diva look,” while a third chimed in, “Happy New Year Beautiful 😍🥰😍🥰.”
Dua has previously donned see-through dresses. At the Barbie premiere in July 2023, she wowed in a silver number by Bottega Veneta, which left little to the imagination. The chainmail design featured thick straps and a plunging square neckline, complemented by a flowing, floor-length skirt.
Underneath, Dua styled a chrome thong that matched her pointed heels, adding extra glimmer to her ensemble with a diamond necklace, silver rings, and coordinating earrings.
Dua previously shared insights into her stylistic choices for her performances during a chat with Vogue in September 2025. “There was an instant trust,” Lipa recalled of her decade-long partnership with stylist Lorenzo Posocco.
For her captivating look on her Radical Optimism tour, Dua aimed to blend “high fashion” with stage wear.
She opened with a gold bodysuit by John Paul Gautier, later changing into a sheer Gucci catsuit, complemented by matching boots.
“The outfit reflects the vibrant visuals of that part of the set, which starts with bright lights, transitioning to black and white burlesque themes,” she explained. “As we switch to ‘Levitating,’ it delves into a cosmic vibe, where the outfit almost blends with the background.”
