For the event, Dua Lipa went glam in a strapless black gown complete with a sweetheart neckline and a voluminous tulle-covered skirt that swept across the floor; the eye-catching design comes from Giambattista Valli and is recycled from the brand’s spring ’16 collection.
“Thank you for having us open the show and allowing me to perform a song that means so much to me and that I probably wouldn’t have had the chance to perform like this for any other occasion,” wrote the singer in her caption on Instagram today.
Though her shoes of choice couldn’t be seen underneath the elongated hem of her gown, Dua Lipa is known for her edgy taste in footwear. In fact, the “Don’t Start Now” channeled the edgiest side of disco-chic style this weekend as she performed for the French radio station’s NRJ Music Awards.
