Dua Lipa steps out in a sleek evening dress for a Nespresso event in New York City. As the new Nespresso brand ambassador, she turned heads in a striking look by Balmain. Set against the city’s waterfront skyline, the ensemble perfectly balanced glamour with structure, showcasing Lipa’s signature confident style.
Dua Lipa wears see-through Balmain dress for Nespresso event in NYC
The singer wore a black and navy velvet floral jacquard midi dress from Balmain’s Fall-Winter 2026 collection, designed by Antonin Tron. According to Balmain’s Instagram stories, the fabric featured a rich, three-dimensional texture that subtly caught the light, creating shadow across the floral pattern. In doing so, it introduced moments of sheer transparency. A daring cutout at the chest added an unexpected edge, breaking up the otherwise classic silhouette and drawing attention to the intricate draping across the bodice.
The dress was further defined by a ‘draped waist and a soft lateral bow detail that nodded to Pierre Balmain’s 1950s design codes’. It is reinterpreted with a modern, body-hugging fit. The silhouette sat close to her frame before falling into a length right above her knees. The interplay of colour and sheerness across the fabric gave the look a layered, almost illusion-like effect.
Lipa styled the outfit with sheer black tights and black pointed-toe heels, keeping the palette monochromatic and refined. Her hair was worn sleek and straight with a side part, complementing the polished feel of the look. The singer’s makeup remained sharp and minimal with defined eyes, soft blush, and a brown lip. She wore diamond hoop earrings and matching rings that added the perfect touch of shine.
Altogether, the look captured a perfect mix of heritage and modernity. This reinforced her role as a fashion icon and Nespresso’s newest stylish ambassador. It proved once again that Lipa could effortlessly bring couture fashion pieces to life with a bold, contemporary twist.
