Only Dua Lipa could make a bathroom look so gorgeous while flaunting her own designer collaboration. Recently, the singer took to Instagram to show off a polka dot string bikini adorned with butterflies from her and Donatella Versace’s La Vacanza collection. “My summer outfit until further notice 🦋🦋” Dua wrote. “The cutest @versace polka dots bikini from my #VersaceLaVacanza collection with @donatella_versace.”
Donatella, for her part, commented on the singer’s post, sharing, “An absolute BEAUTY!! This summer is ALL about La Vacanza @dualipa 🦋☀️✨”
Both Dua and Donatella first unveiled their collection last month. At the time, the Barbie star shared footage of the runway show on May 24, writing, “Feeling overwhelmed with happiness and still taking in last night! Creating this collection with my dear dear friend @donatella_versace has been the most incredible insightful and inspiring process that I feel so lucky I got to experience. I want to thank the whole @versace team for holding my hand through this!! Thank you @kjeldgaard1 @patmcgrathreal @guidopalau @piergiorgio @pat_boguslawski @dannylharle @holmesproduction and all the incredible models that gave us a show to remember!!! I feel like the luckiest girl in the world 🦋🦋🦋🦋” Over 1.4 million people liked the Instagram post.
Dua’s collection with the designer has garnered tons of celebrity admiration in addition to public fandom. Bridgerton actor Simone Ashley gave the celeb a shout-out when speaking with Elle at the Veuve Clicquot polo classic in New York City about who her fashion inspirations are.
“I love Dua Lipa’s collaboration with Donatella [Versace],” Simone said. “It was really inspiring.”
But because she’s so iconic, Dua obvi has tons more projects this summer. The singer will be playing multiple mermaids in the Barbie film out next month. She also recorded the lead single for the soundtrack that she released in late May, “Dance the Night Away.”
When the song dropped, she shared a teaser of the music video, writing, “I wrote this song with my friends @iammarkronson @wyattish @carolineailin and we hope you LOVE IT! Barbie out in cinema’s July 21st!!!! 💕🪩”
