Dua Lipa's Versace Collection Is Made For A Hot Girl Summer
A 101 on dressing like a pop star at Versace this summer.
She's walked in its fashion show, appeared in its ad campaign, and now, Dua Lipa has designed a collection with her fashion godmother Donatella Versace. Titled La Vacanza, or "the vacation" in Italian, the collection is available at all Versace stores and is the musician's ode to a glamorous life under the sun.
Working together was a dream as the duo bonded over their shared love of fashion and music. Said Versace: “Dua loves fashion, I love music – we are the perfect duo! We had such a good time designing this collection together. We felt like we were on vacation and that is exactly the spirit we want people to feel when they wear our clothes.”

The 'La Vacanza' collection debuted in Cannes during the Cannes Film Festival season, with 42 looks in total available for purchase immediately after.
Expect a profusion of Barbie-core looks in this outing: think mini skirts, sharply-tailored skirt suits, stacked loafers and accessories in glitzy metallic leathers. The butterfly-loving Lipa also mined inspiration from the Versace archives for the print, reviving the pattern that the late Giannni Versace used for the Spring/Summer 1995 collection. Below, we suss out some of our favourite picks.
The Repeat hobo bag is a re-edition of a style that first debuted in the early 2000s. For the La Vacanza outing, it's given a new metallic updated with silver hardware.
A classic silhouette like the top handle bag gets an injection of youthful energy in cyan.
