Dua Lipa may sing about being cool, but she was red hot at one of her Radical Optimism Tour shows in Australia, where she wore a fiery fit that was documented in a new series of behind-the-scenes photos on Instagram.
For the stop in Auckland, the “Houdini” singer wore a custom version of Look 7 from the Balenciaga Summer 2025 collection. “Auckland Night 1 💋,” Lipa wrote in the caption.
If there’s one trick we’ve learned from stars like Hailey Bieber and Suki Waterhouse, it’s that transitional weather is the perfect time to pull out a giant fur coat and something slinky underneath, which is exactly what the British singer accomplished with this ensemble.

The all-red ensemble consisted of a lingerie-style slipdress paired with a flowing fur coat that draped to the ground. Despite being almost entirely see-through, the spaghetti-strap dress was embroidered with subtle lacy flowers, as well as sequined sunbursts that resembled rosettes. These details effectively added some shimmer to the already-multi-textured look.

Dua Lipa’s look consisted of a sequined slip dress and an oversize fur coat.
Down low, the dress featured an asymmetrical skirt that allowed Lipa to show off her candy apple-red tights, which she pulled over some fishnet stockings, while slipping her feet into a pair of matching block heels.
And since red is already attention-grabbing on its own, Lipa didn’t need any accessories. However, she did add some drama with her makeup, which included smoky eyeshadow and glittery gloss, as well as some heavy blush to coincide with all the other shades of red. If this look had a soundtrack, it would be “Hotter Than Hell.”
