Dua Lipa Wore a Sparkling Naked Dress to the Grammys and Looked Like a Mermaid
She KILLED this look.
DUA LIPA HAS ENTERED THE BUILDING. I REPEAT: DUA IS HERE. The pop star has officially arrived at the 2021 Grammy Awards and ya girl did not come to play. Dua is known for her undergarment-centric approach to style, consistently representing the early '00s trend of flaunting your underwear for the world to see. For tonight's show, she passed up her signature visible thong moment, but still kept that same energy. She absolutely dazzled, walking the red carpet in a glitzy, cut-out naked dress.



With a thigh-slit, multiple cut-outs, and a buster-inspired bodice, Dua stayed true to her sexy-cool style, but added a bit of glamour for the occasion.
Tonight, she's up for six (I said, SIX!) Grammys, including Album, Song, Record, Pop Vocal Album, Pop Solo Performance, and Pop Duo/Group Performance. Even if she takes home zero, she's got my vote for best dressed.
