Dua Lipa Wows In Sultry, Sheer Saint Laurent Gown
The “Don’t Start Now” singer’s gown featured a skintight fit that emphasized her tiny waist, a high slit design that flaunted her long, toned legs, and a semi-sheer top that gave a peak of her sculpted abs and curves.
The Grammy winner paired her frock with ‘Georgia Sandals’ in crepe satin with rhinestones from Saint Laurent and accessorized her look with ‘Diamond Pave Link Door Knocker Earrings’ from Shay Jewelry as she wore her long brunette tresses down, parted in the middle and styled into elegant, loose waves.
