From nostalgic eighties, nineties and noughties looks to power dressing and high-impact gowns, Dua Lipa is a versatile fashion lover who can't be pigeonholed into one aesthetic.

FEBRUARY 2016
Although nowadays she's not afraid of making a statement, for her first Brit Awards appearance in 2016 Dua was a lot less 'styled', choosing a low key, bohemian-style black dress with leather embossing and tassles, and minimal makeup and hair styling.

A baby-faced Dua first appears on the scene at men's fashion week in London, embracing that early style-blogger High Street vibe. She's wearing a Topshop jacket, top and jeans, and Zara bag and shoes.

For her performances back in the day, Dua was often a fan of a grungy look wearing chokers, chunky boots, leather and dark tones. She wore a full black ensemble to perform at Wireless Festival 2016 in London.

FEBRUARY 2017
Another pared-back look in black for the 2017 Brit Awards, the year her first album, the eponymous Dua Lipa, was released. Since then we've seen many-a suit from Dua at events, but after this first fitted version she's shown a preference for an oversized, eighties-style silhouette.

Hello to you Dua, and hello also to Dua's abs! Embracing pink, one of her favourite shades to wear, she attended the European Premiere of Baby Driver in London in a fun fuschia two-piece.

While now (with the help of stylist Lorenzo Posocco) she's honed her aesthetic to more consistently showcase eighties, nineties and noughties-influenced looks, a couple of years ago Dua was still experimenting with her vibe as shown by this eclectic vintage-inspired cream ensemble.

Now we see the outfit recipe that Dua will keep returning to for many performances (and events) to come — a bra or crop top, paired with loose trackpants or sportswear-inspired trousers. She wore this to perform at Glastonbury in 2017, and if anyone can pull it off, she can!

FEBRUARY 2018:
The year she won Best Female Solo Artist and Best New Artist at the Brit Awards saw Dua rising to the spotlight in a dramatic tulle gown by Giambattista Valli. This signified the start of the singer embracing high volume on the red carpet, and having access to haute couture pieces.

JULY 2018
That jumpsuit had quite the moment, with both Gigi Hadid and Dua Lipa stepping out in the Versace-designed one piece. Dua's haircut will often partially inform or complement her current style, and with her razor sharp bob came plenty of power looks.

JUNE 2018:
Look mum, no pants! Out and about in New York City, somehow Dua avoided a wardrobe malfunction in this risque open-sided dress, pairing it with a pair of glittery platforms and a beret. Would you try this at home?

OCTOBER 2018:
While performing and going about her day-to-day life, Dua is a fan of sportswear and nostalgia-inspired looks, but forget pigeonholing her into one particular style. She's known to opt for a feminine and romantic gown for red carpets — but always with a twist. Here, she's wearing a white mermaid-silhouette dress, again by Giambattista Valli, paired with a diamond choker and nineties brown lipstick.

Your girl is a Grammy Award-winner and looks the part. Her actual red carpet look was a Versace old-Hollywood style silver gown, but we prefer the dress she performed at the ceremony in — a Liz Hurley-inspired black and white look complete with gold safety pins, also by Versace. She won for Best New Artist and Best Dance Recording for Electricity

Sweeping up at awards season last year, Dua also raised the style stakes in several memorable looks. This was one of her more polarising, but we think the fucshia and black gown by Christopher Kane is just edgy enough for the pop star. She wore the look to the 2019 Brit Awards, where she won Best British Single for One Kiss.

SEPTEMBER 2019:
Attending the Marc Jacobs spring 2020 runway show in New York, Dua puts a subversive kick in prim, pretty style with a sweet lemon yellow skirt, blue T-shirt with matching piping and kitschy jewellery. If you look closely, her T-shirt, a Marc Jacobs collaboration with UK artist Magda Archer, says "We're In The Shit'. That we are Dua, that we are.

There's that outfit recipe again: denim, long coat, cute top. Great inspiration for winter. Dua's seen here with friends Bella and Gigi Hadid, and Zayn Malik in New York.

JANUARY 26 2020
Channelling her favourite nineties/noughties vibe, she chose a minimal white top and skirt look by Alexander Wang for the 2020 Grammys. Equally nostalgic hair, makeup and accessories complemented her outfit — Cher Horowitz, is that you?!

MARCH 2020
Never one to shy away from a sky-high split, Dua had an Angelina Jolie leg moment (but maybe less meme-able) at the Global Awards in London where she paired a sleek beaded Mugler dress with slick, sleek hair and fierce makeup.
