And we’re normally a fan of the British singer’s style, which is a deftly artful mix of streetwear, casual, and ultra glamorous, with a touch of kitsch that only she knows the secret of.
Regarded as a queen of fashion by many, the young singer is even considered a trendsetter when it comes to style. And that is why we’re a bit worried at the moment.
Because it is indeed Dua Lipa who seems to be at the origin of the next hot summer trend.
Photographed by passers-by, and no doubt by some paparazzi, on a beach in Miami, the singer of “Love Again” has already got a lot of people talking about this trend.
Dressed in a transparent dress, with an opening on the torso, Dua Lipa surprised us all by accessorising the ensemble with flip-flops.
But not just any flip-flops. And here you get to the drama.
You thought you had seen and experienced everything since the beginning of the pandemic, sartorially speaking anyway. But no, there is always something worse.
Those who had the immense privilege of living the ’90s to the fullest can already take their platform flip-flops out from their closets; it’s likely that the shoes will be seen on all the beaches, or even in the office, as soon as the sun comes out.
Once an ugly shoe, always an ugly shoe!
We’re almost missing stilettos! Sneakers have clearly taken over our daily lives, despite the defenders of loafers and high heels, but the return of Crocs, clogs, jelly sandals, and other wedge sneakers have left us perplexed for a long time.
During the pandemic, “ugly fashion” has become trendy but has it really gone to this extreme, making platform flip-flops the shoes of the summer?
Since Dua Lipa is one of the celebrities who is always one step ahead, we may very well be accessorising your summer dresses and skirts, or even your bootcut jeans, with platform flip-flops.
It must be said that despite its many shortcomings – most of them purely aesthetic – the wedge flip-flop can combine comfort and femininity.
It has the advantage of giving a casual touch to any outfit, while elongating the silhouette, and can be worn with everything. An advantage for long summer days – and evenings.
