Dua Lipa’s vintage Mugler blazer is a lesson in sharp dressing
Dua Lipa and rare, archival fashion go together like berries and cream.
The singer’s style evolution is nothing short of pure magic. With a helping hand from her trusty, relatively new, stylist Jahleel Weaver, Dua’s wardrobe has blossomed, and her latest look is proof that she’s the number one It-girl in town.

Dua slipped into a lipstick red Thierry Mugler jacket hailing from the designer’s autumn/winter 1998 collection. The striking piece, which is part of a skirt set previously worn by Addison Rae, was purchased from Studded Petals Vintage.
The singer wrote via social media: “I’ve been waiting for the moment to wear this vintage Mugler that I got last year. It’s a little big on me but I’m tooo obsessed with it.”
The statement piece featured a vibrant hue, accented shoulder pads, an asymmetrical, sharp neckline and a cinched waist. Sharp, futuristic silhouettes and a strong, sensual aesthetic were core to Mugler’s designs, which married high fashion with theatricality, often using unconventional materials and bold structures.
The rare garment was dotted with minimalist gold hardware, adding a touch of opulence to the archival gem.
Dua completed the look with a black micro skirt and tights, allowing all eyes to fall on her Mugler masterpiece. She wore her auburn hair slicked back into an influencer-approved bun, promoting her newsletter Service 95 in the process.
This isn’t the first piece purchased by Dua from the coveted vintage store. The 29-year-old previously invested in a lilac, plaid waistcoat from Vivienne Westwood’s spring/summer 1994 collection.
Since parting ways with former stylist Lorenzo Posocco, Dua’s wardrobe has darkened in tone. The chart-topper is embracing mysterious palettes for autumn/winter 2024 and her recent outfit choice perfectly encapsulated her newfound style.
