Dua Lipa looked more elegant than ever before in a cherry red corset gown at London’s Royal Albert Hall, where she held an intimate concert amid her Radical Optimism tour. Backed up by a 53-piece orchestra, a 14-person choir, and a seven-person band instead of dancers, the British pop star belted out soulful renditions of her pop music hits, including "Training Season," "Be the One," and "Levitating."
Normally, Dua Lipa dresses like she's headed to the club right after her shows. Many of her outfits on and off the stage tend to favor studded leather, lingerie-inspired black lace, and strategic cut-outs. Her costuming throughout the Oct. 17 evening performance, however, mirrored the historic venue's stately vibe. Standing at the center of a swirling custom catwalk, she performed in a fiery red bustier dress with a sweetheart neckline, boned bodice, and daring thigh-high slit.
