Dua Lipa is a fashion icon, known for her bold, eclectic, and often daring style choices. Her outfits frequently make headlines, and she has become a trendsetter for many. But is her style accessible to plus-size individuals? I decided to spend a week dressing like Dua Lipa to find out if her fashion can be adapted for plus-size bodies.

Day 1: The Casual Chic Look

Dua Lipa often opts for casual yet stylish outfits, like high-waisted jeans paired with a crop top. I chose a pair of high-waisted, plus-size jeans and a cropped sweater. The key to this look is confidence and finding the right fit. Plus-size brands like Torrid and ASOS Curve offer great options. I felt comfortable and stylish, and the high-waisted jeans accentuated my curves beautifully.

Day 2: Sporty Spice

Dua loves a good athleisure look, often spotted in matching sets. I found a similar set from Fabletics, designed to fit and flatter plus-size figures. The matching leggings and sports bra provided the same sporty, chic vibe that Dua effortlessly pulls off. This look was not only fashionable but also incredibly comfortable for a day of errands.

Day 3: Glam Night Out

For a night out, Dua Lipa frequently wears body-hugging dresses with bold patterns. I chose a plus-size bodycon dress with a similar print from Eloquii. The dress fit well and made me feel glamorous and confident. The key here is to embrace your body and wear the dress with pride. Accessories, like statement earrings and a clutch, completed the look.

Day 4: Bold and Bright

Dua Lipa is not afraid of color, often seen in bright, eye-catching outfits. I replicated this by choosing a neon dress from Fashion Nova Curve. The vibrant color was initially intimidating, but it turned out to be a fun and flattering choice. Pairing it with neutral accessories helped balance the look. Plus-size fashion doesn’t have to shy away from bold colors—it’s all about finding the right shade and style.

Day 5: Edgy Streetwear

Dua’s streetwear style is all about mixing comfort with edge. I went for a plus-size oversized graphic tee, leather leggings, and chunky sneakers. This look was perhaps the easiest to pull off, blending comfort with a touch of rock-and-roll flair. Brands like Boohoo and PrettyLittleThing have great options for plus-size streetwear.

Day 6: Vintage Vibes

Dua Lipa often incorporates vintage-inspired pieces into her wardrobe. I opted for a plus-size vintage floral dress from ModCloth, paired with a wide belt to cinch the waist. This outfit was a hit, offering a romantic and nostalgic feel that was both comfortable and flattering. Vintage styles can be incredibly flattering for plus-size figures, emphasizing curves in all the right ways.

Day 7: Red Carpet Ready

For a glamorous end to the week, I chose an evening gown similar to what Dua might wear on the red carpet. The plus-size gown from City Chic was stunning, with a fitted bodice and flowing skirt. It made me feel like a star and proved that plus-size individuals can absolutely rock high-fashion looks.

Conclusion

Dressing like Dua Lipa for a week proved that her style is indeed accessible to plus-size individuals with a few thoughtful adaptations. The key is to find pieces that fit well and make you feel confident. Plus-size fashion has come a long way, and there are plenty of stylish options available to recreate even the boldest celebrity looks. Embrace your body, experiment with different styles, and most importantly, wear your outfits with confidence. Fashion is for everyone, and with the right mindset, anyone can channel their inner Dua Lipa.
