Mesh shoes unexpectedly took the fashion world by storm last year, as designers began sending models down the runway in see-through Mary Janes and ballet flats. Now, Dua Lipa is kicking the trend up a notch by extending it to her accessories.
In a new travel photo dump she posted on Instagram today, the “Training Session” singer seems to be leading a new kind of see-through trend, thanks to an incredible fishnet shoulder bag from Alaïa.
The crescent-shaped piece—made of perforated leather and nylon—adds an edgy touch to Lipa’s all-black monochromatic look, which also includes a sleek lapel-less coat. The bag oozes with an effortlessly cool energy, a requisite for anyone who would dare to wear a transparent bag in public, thereby exposing all the belongings inside. (Lipa’s bag appears to hold a wallet, a small notebook, and a coiled white cable.)
Elsewhere in the Instagram post, Lipa continued to show off her unique sense of style. One photo shows the Grammy winner in a black woven coat layered over a blue-and-white striped blouse, a long dark denim skirt, and slouchy black leather boots with a stiletto heel. Another picture captures Lipa, smiling in a mirror selfie, wearing a toffee-colored zip-up leather jacket, a black collared button-up, black bottoms, and a thin glossy black leather bag.
“I like having one piece that makes a whole outfit and then you can wear everything else that’s quite simple,” the pop star told Harper’s Bazaar in 2017. “I’ve always loved dressing up. I like it when things look like you’ve just thrown them on, and sometimes the things you really do just throw on look the best. I’ve always been inspired by the ’90s, and I like wearing baggy trousers, and blazers with slipdresses and thigh-high boots or leather jackets, and just a mixture of all those together.”
