Dua Lipa gave opera-night dressing a glamorous, modern twist as she stepped out for the opening gala of Lincoln in the Bardo at New York’s Metropolitan Opera. Dressed in a striking Ferragamo creation, the singer brought together sheer textures, shimmering embellishments and dramatic eveningwear with her signature fashion-forward attitude.
Designed by Maximilian Davis for Ferragamo’s Spring/Summer 2027 collection, the black gown was anything but understated. A bandeau-style bodice flowed into sheer chiffon, decorated with intricate gold thread, crystals and ocean-blue sequins that caught the light beautifully. A daring thigh-high slit added a sensual edge, while the sweeping train and voluminous sleeves brought the kind of theatrical drama that felt right at home at the opera.
Dua kept her accessories minimal, allowing the intricate detailing to take centre stage. Black heels with jewel embellishments completed the ensemble, while a sleek, slicked-back hairstyle added a polished finish.
Accompanied by her husband, Callum Turner, for the evening, Dua made a case for bringing runway drama into traditional formal settings. Her look balanced old-school opera glamour with contemporary red-carpet sensuality, proving that dressing for a night at the opera need not mean playing it safe.
