Dua Lipa Shows Us All How to Wear a Bikini as a Top This Fall

Dua Lipa went full ’90s club kid to celebrate her 28th birthday on August 22. It was a slay, obviously, as well as a practical solution to keeping away a chill while still wearing a string bikini as a top.

“Raving into my 28th year,” Lipa captioned her Instagram post, alongside a carousel of pics showing the “Sweetest Pie” singer dancing the night away in her party-perfect ’fit. “Thank you for the birthday wishes.”

In the photos Lipa wears a pair of oversized crystal-encrusted lavender trousers with an eeny-weeny Gucci bikini. The trousers are further embellished with a flashy wallet chain, which goes perfectly with her layers of pearl and silver choker necklaces. On top, she added a sheer red shrug, in case her arms get cold, presumably, and a silver ’00s-era shoulder bag. Completing the look is a pair of bright red see-through sunglasses. It appears that “Planet of the Bass” has a new mayor in town.

A day previously Dua Lipa celebrated another milestone on her Instagram—the eight-year anniversary of her first pop single, “New Love.” According to , Lipa wrote on her stories, “8 Years ago I released my first song that I wrote with @wyattish [Andrew Wyatt] and @emilehaynie (and videos!).” She added, “19 year old me would be very happy to know we’d get this far.”
