If there's anyone who can make throwback Y2K fashion trends feel current, it's Dua Lipa. The singer spent much of 2022 wearing a mix of retro outfits including double denim [1], low-rise miniskirts [2], and neon catsuits [3], and she's showing no signs of changing her style up for 2023. True to form, Lipa rang in the new year wearing that divisive Y2K trend: the exposed thong.
Posting a carousel of photos from her New Year's Eve celebrations, the "Potion" singer wore a silver and pink iridescent halter minidress with star drop earrings. The look featured a seriously low back, so low that it exposed her bright-white thong that was pulled up to sit above her hips. Lipa posed for a series of snaps showing the bold detail as she teamed her look with knee-high pink boots, pink iridescent eyeshadow, a half-up ponytail, and that essential NYE accessory — a glass of Champagne.
It's not the first time Lipa has intentionally exposed her underwear, having previously worn a pink fishnet dress and matching thong [4] in November. While she wrapped up her "Future Nostalgia [5]" world tour in December and also celebrated becoming an Albanian citizen [6], her standout style [7] has continued to serve us fashion inspo, and we have no intention of removing the singer from our mood boards anytime soon. Bring on Lipa's 2023 wardrobe!
