Dua Lipa has been incredibly busy lately, juggling the announcement of her new album, Radical Optimism, along with its accompanying promotional activities, and making appearances during awards season, including a stop at the Golden Globes for Barbie and a performance at the Brits. It’s all part of the whirlwind life of a pop star.

Keeping her followers in the loop, Dua has been regularly updating her adventures on Instagram, much to the delight of her fans. However, her latest social media moment comes from an unexpected source: TikTok influencer Harry Daniels. Known for his antics, including singing celebrities’ own songs to them, Harry serenaded Dua Lipa with an impromptu acappella rendition of ‘Houdini’.

While Dua joined in with him towards the end, the spotlight shifted momentarily to her off-duty ensemble in the video – a chic interpretation of the classic ‘jeans and a nice top’ outfit combination. She paired low-rise, baggy boyfriend-fit jeans with a sleek strapless black leather top adorned with ornate gold buckle detailing down the center. Upon closer inspection, it becomes evident that her top is composed entirely of belts, creatively arranged to form a unique and eye-catching design.

Notably, Dua’s belt top caught the attention of many, with one follower commenting on Harry’s Instagram post of the duo, “wait i love her top”.

Dua’s belt top follows a recent trend of celebrities incorporating belts into their outfits in innovative ways. Heidi Klum showcased a pink belt dress on Germany’s Next Top Model, featuring strips of pink leather forming a sweetheart neckline adorned with silver buckles. Similarly, Julia Fox made waves with her belt bag, adding to the growing fascination with belt-centric fashion statements.

As the trend gains momentum, only time will tell if belt-inspired ensembles become a lasting fashion craze or remain a niche style choice.
