Dua Lipa Turns Kylie Jenner’s Jacquemus Mini Into a Gala-Worthy Gown

Our favorite fashion girls largely have very distinct personal styles. It’s what sets the wardrobes of Hailey Bieber and Kendall Jenner apart from the likes of Emma Stone and Cate Blanchett, and truly, these subtle differences is what makes their fashion choices interesting to follow in the first place. In spite of their personal leanings, sometimes stars will co-sign, say, a trend or a certain color all at once. Last night, leading fashion girl Dua Lipa showed off a backless LBD that just so happened to be a riff on the exact silhouette Kylie Jenner sported a few weeks ago.

Dua pulled out the piece, a custom number from Jacqueumus’ spring 2024 collection, to appear on the Jimmy Kimmel Live! show. The pared-back color way of the dress really allowed the various design details to shine—like a sizable cut-out at the back and a center slit which showed off the pop sensation’s matching sling back shoes.

While Dua and Kylie are more aligned on the fashion girl spectrum than most, their respective Jacquemus looks had some key differences. For starters, the floor-sweeping length of Dua’s dress provided a more formal feel than the ultra-mini cut of Kylie’s piece.

Both dresses did have one main factor in common, though—a sculptural, almost ’80s-style bodice complete with padded shoulders and the tiniest cut-out detail. Kylie paired her dress (which she wore for Jacquemus’ spring runway show) with matching heels and a pillbox bag while Dua styled her look with statement silver and gold jewels.

 

Dua and Kylie’s choice to bring out varying degrees of the same Jacquemus dress only solidifies the differences in their respective styles currently. While Kylie seemed to be on an all-black streak late last year, she’s now leaning into louder silhouettes, and especially this particular shade of cherry red. Dua, on the other hand, has been all about muted and earth tones of late—like her chainmail Courrèges look at the Grammys and this Jacquemus LBD.

The Internet’s favorite up-and-coming model, Alex Consani, once told Interview she had no interest in an acting career. Unless Hunter Schafer needed a stand-in. “Maybe I could be a Hunter Schafer look-alike dupe or something,” she told the mag. “When they run out of budget, I’m here.” Last night, however, the duo met up at the opening of H&M’s new SoHo store and proved that, despite what some people may think, they are not the same person.

Consani was spotted interviewing Schafer at the event—contents of said interview have yet to surface online, but Consani was heard saying “Thank you, boo” amid her usual string of quips as she shared a laugh with the Hunger Games actress. Both Consani and Schafer were in extremely different, yet very bright, looks that did help differentiate which one of them spends her off days terrorizing people on the subway.

Schafer cut a chic figure in a statement bodycon dress, complete with ruched detailing, that she paired with suede baby blue heels and a slicked-back hairstyle. Consani opted for an ab-baring yellow skirt set, gold jewelry, and a glitzy shoulder bag. The duo teamed up for the first time at a Mugler event a little less than a year ago—there they looked even more like twins, in dramatic eyeliner and black bodysuits.
