Dua Lipa took the coquette aesthetic up a notch at the 2024 Time 100 Gala red carpet in New York on Thursday. The singer arrived in a custom Chanel lace dress embroidered with crystals and aluminum rings. Her ensemble took about 1,000 hours and 45,000 embroidered elements to make.
Lipa’s dress was embellished with a black satin bow and a white resin brooch reminiscent of Chanel’s Métiers d’Art 2024 collection, which was presented in Manchester, England, in December. “[Virginie] Viard worked the music of Manchester into the show with little guitar and musical note charms dangling from gold and pearl chains; a micro-shoulder bag shaped like a vinyl record; flat caps, and hairbands with fringe that channeled the rockers’ shaggy mops,” WWD previously reported on the collection.
Lipa was one of the 51 women featured in the 2024 Time 100 list, which recognizes 100 leaders in fields including film, music, sports and more. She was joined by Sofia Coppola, Kylie Minogue, Fantasia Barrino, Taraji P. Henson, Kelly Ripa and more.
Beyond gracing one of the covers of the Time 100 issue, Lipa was also invited the perform at the event.
The singer is currently promoting her upcoming album, “Radical Optimism,” which is scheduled to be released on May 3. On Wednesday, she was seen channeling “The Matrix” in an oversize floor-length coat with bold shoulders and blue jeans while visiting the SiriusXM studios in New York.
The Time 100 Gala will be presented by ABC as a television special scheduled to air on Sunday at 10 p.m. ET. The special will be available to stream the next day on Hulu.
