Dua Lipa's Grammys Look Involves a Sheer Bodice and Platinum Do

Dua Lipa knows how to make a bold red-carpet entrance.

Tonight, the pop icon took a break from her worldwide Future Nostalgia Tour to step out for the 64th Annual Grammy Awards, where she wore a stunning black vintage Versace gown paired with accessories from Bulgari High Jewelry.

The knockout bondage dress featured a sheer mesh bodice with black straps and gold hardware, a style first seen on the Italian fashion house's runway back in 1992 and that was once worn by Cindy Crawford. The kicker? Lipa added to the drama by capping the look off with what appears to be a platinum blonde wig.

Though she isn't nominated tonight, Lipa is among the ceremony's presenters, along with other industry mainstays like Lenny Kravitz, Avril Lavigne, Megan Thee Stallion, Joni Mitchell, Billy Porter, and Questlove.

The singer has previously won three Grammys, nabbing the golden gramophone in 2021 for Best Pop Vocal Album for Future Nostalgia, as well as in 2019 for Best New Artist and Best Dance Recording for "Electricity." In total, she boasts eight Grammy nominations.

"Future Nostalgia means the absolute world to me," Lipa said during her 2021 Grammys acceptance speech. "It has changed my life in so many ways, but one thing that I've really come to realize is how much happiness is so important. I felt really jaded at the end of my last album where I felt like I only had to make sad music to feel like it mattered. And I'm just so grateful and so honored because happiness is something that we all deserve and that's something that we all need in our lives."

She also credited her win to her fans. "This is all because of you," she continued. "Honestly. This is all you. I appreciate every single thing that you have done for this album."
