When a musician has a new album out, they naturally promote the hell out of it—think of all the stunts pulled by Taylor Swift for The Tortured Poets Department and Kate Hudson performing songs from Glorious on Jimmy Fallon. And now it's Dua Lipa's turn— the star is everywhere right now after dropping her new album Radical Optimism.

Lipa kicked off her busy schedule by hosting and serving as a musical guest for Saturday Night Live over the weekend. (Which she was prepping for all last week.) For the monologue, Lipa rocked a sleek black dress with a side slit Angelina Jolie would be proud of. When it came time for her two musical numbers, the singer performed in basically the same look, just in different shades. No pants trend alert. She sported a black crop top and Miu Miu-esque briefs combined with strategic netting all the way down her tights for her first song. The monochromatic outfit was followed by a white cropped tank top, white briefs and a chain-mail type of overlay.
