If anyone actually had a good time last year, it was Dua Lipa. She released her second album back in January 2020, staged a whole-ass concert and streamed it live from London in lieu of a traditional tour and has been serving one killer look after another for every interview and appearance over the last 12 months. Her 2021 GRAMMYs look was an absolute slay too, obviously. Talk about starting off 2021 on a high note!
OK, we’re a couple months in, but still. She’s been killing it lately. A few of Lipa’s recent outfits that stood out during the doom-scrolling that has consumed my life these days include (but are not limited to): The white tweed Chanel look she wore for her NPR Tiny Desk Concert, literally anything she wore in her vacay picks on Insta and of course, the risqué look work for her Rolling Stone cover shoot, where she was photographed wearing colorful pastel fishnets—and literally nothing else.
How is it possible that the “We’re Good” singer—who is set to perform at tonight’s ceremony, BTW (!)—always blows me away every single time a photo of her pops up on my screen? Someone give her stylist their own award, please! Tonight is no exception, and she showed up to the GRAMMYs in a glittering crystal gown by Versace with a butterfly motif, massive leg slit and cutouts at the hips.

“It’s got a butterfly one it. There was a lot of symbolism this year for me for butterflies,” Lipa told Giuliana Rancic on the carpet. To many, butterflies symbolize rebirth and new life, so do with that what you will! Lipa is also nothing without a good glam, and her sparkly purple eyeshadow perfectly complimented the glitzy hues of her gown. She wore her brows thick and her dark hair long, straight and shiny. Dua absolutely knows a thing or two about bringing the glamor back to awards season, even if this year’s festivities are mostly virtual.

It blows my mind to consider fact that last year’s GRAMMYs show A) happened IRL and B) occurred less than six weeks before the official start of lockdown. In 2020, Lipa wore a silk white slip gown for the occasion and the ensemble did not disappoint. Not only did she single-handedly start the two-toned hair trend that night, but she also made a strong case for both minimal dressing and wearing ‘90s-inspired slip dresses outside of the bedroom. Yes, the frock was simple, but it also solidified her as a certified Fashion Girl. It even inspired me to cut my hair into a blunt bob. No shame.
That said, I love her early aughts-inspired look tonight just as much. Dua Lipa is celebrating six nominations at the 2021 GRAMMYs, including Album of the Year for Future Nostalgia and the prestigious Record of the Year award for “Don’t Start Now.” She’s up against the likes of Taylor Swift for the former and freakin’ Beyoncé for the latter, but I’m keeping my fingers crossed.
Dua, if you’re seeing this, do you want to be fashion friends?
