Appearing continuously with products from Versace’s wardrobe throughout the last year, Dua Lipa enrolled in one of the campaigns of this cult fashion house is predictable. And as expected, as a Versace muse, the award-winning pop star has become the face of Versace’s AW21 line.
Dua Lipa and Versace timeline
Dua Lipa’s journey from being the brand’s fan to becoming its face was years in the making.
Into looks that reflect her status as a risk-taking pop ingenue. Granted, the brand is popular enough that many celebrities have worn those exact concepts over the years, but Lipa’s versions are tailored to her personality.
Lipa’s vibe is all about fun, whether she’s arriving at the 2019 Met Gala in miles of jewel-toned satin and a towering bedazzled bouffant or performing at March’s Grammy Awards ceremony in Swarovski crystal-covered baby-pink gown that peeled back to reveal hot pants and a crop top.
Away from the red carpet, the star’s love affair with Versace is even more evident.
On Instagram, she regularly posts peeks into her daily wardrobe, many of which involve Donatella’s designs.
To ring in 2021, she wore a crystal flecked mini-dress that looked like a disco ball, while an afternoon in Los Angeles with boyfriend Anwar Hadid meant neon leopard print jeans and a glossy leather jacket from the brand’s Resort 2020 collection.
Even her music videos – ‘Levitating,’ ‘Don’t Start Now, and ‘New Rules’ among them – feature pieces from the brand’s runways.

New Versace muse
Versace has no shortage of celebrity fans, but only a few have earned Donatella’s approval nod.
Icons like Madonna, Elton John, Jennifer Lopez, and Lady Gaga have appeared in Versace’s seasonal collections before, and in Fall/Winter 2021, Dua Lipa officially joins this illustrious list.
Under the lens of Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott, Lipa embodies elegance and daring.
She accentuated Donatella’s winter collection with a yellow dress with a classic hemline, or a dress with the house’s signature pattern, at another look with a red skirt and crop top with the same look color.
Connecting it all together is a dramatic leather headband. She also made a little change to her hair with a fancy copper-colored smooth hairstyle.
