We were radically optimistic that Dua Lipa would show up on those Met steps dressed to impress — and she did not disappoint.
The “Houdini” hitmaker, 28, looked truly magical for the “Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion” theme as she arrived at the 2024 Met Gala, walking the red carpet in a stunning creation from Marc Jacobs.
The skin-baring gown included lots of black lace and a cream-colored corset, which Lipa — who donned dark crimson hair — showed off with a plethora of poses as she made her way into the star-studded dinner party.
Some fans speculated that she’d make her red carpet debut with boyfriend Callum Turner at fashion’s biggest night.
However, the pop star — who just released her new album, “Radical Optimism,” on Friday — walked the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s famous steps with designer Jacobs, 61, and internet personality Char Defrancesco.
Lipa has definitely been on a roll when it comes to her red carpet fashion.
Earlier in the year, she showed up at the 2024 Golden Globes in a spectacular Schiaparelli mermaid gown adorned with gilded bones; while dreamy, it was difficult to sit in during the ceremony, as Lipa later revealed.
The “Argylle” actress served as a Met Gala co-chair in 2023, paying tribute to Karl Largerfeld in a regal white ballgown he had designed for Chanel’s fall/winter 1992 collection. Never one to pᴀss up a major jewelry moment, she accessorized with a Tiffany & Co. necklace suspended with a dazzling diamond of more than 200 carats.
And in 2019, the songstress embraced the ball’s “Camp: Notes on Fashion” theme in a psychedelic, multicolored Atelier Versace gown and over-the-top bouffant.
Perhaps she picked the Barbie-worthy look to hint at her involvement in Greta Gerwig’s blockbuster Mattel movie; in addition to contributing to the soundtrack (with her hit “Dance the Night”), Lipa also made her acting debut as Mermaid Barbie in the 2023 film.
