Dua Lipa Trades Her Vintage Versace Outfit for a Slinky Metallic Dress and the High-Vamp Trend

Dua Lipa is seen during the 79th annual Cannes Film Festival on May 15, 2026 in Cannes, France.

Dua Lipa is currently at Cannes Film Festival and the pop star certainly packed for the occasion. From unmistakable vintage outfits to popular footwear trends, the "Houdini" singer has been bringing the glamour to the glitzy event.

After sharing photos of a vintage Versace dress on Instagram, Lipa was spotted wearing a sheer purple two-piece set from Salvatore Ferragamo.

For accessories, the Barbie actress opted for a pair of Ferragamo's Itaca Patent-Leather Mules in Red, which retail for $1,150 and feature a high-vamp silhouette. She also carried a matching bright red bag.

Lipa leaned into Spring 2026's color-pop trend with her outfit. Both grape purple and tomato red have featured heavily throughout the season, with a strawberry red shade proving to be particularly popular with It girls.

For jewelry, Lipa wore items from her beloved Bvlgari Serpenti collection, including a Viper One-Coil Ring, a Viper Two-Coil Ring, a Viper Bracelet, and Viper Earrings.

The matching purple skirt and blouse set feature an off-center lace-up fastener and were seen on the runway for Salvatore Ferragamo's Ready-to-Wear Fall/Winter 2026/2027 collection.
