When it comes to dressing for the occasion, Dua Lipa never disappoints—and her latest style statement in Austin, Texas was no exception. The pop sensation took to social media to share a series of snapshots that had her fans doing a double-take, thanks to her eyebrow-raising choice of bottoms.
Taking to Instagram on Friday, October 4, the “Levitating” singer shared a carousel of images that showcased her daring Texan-inspired ensemble, complete with a pair of the teeniest black leather shorts you’ll ever see. These micro hot pants left little to the imagination, highlighting Dua’s long toned legs and giving a cheeky glimpse of her her, ahem, assets.

Dua balanced the risqué bottoms with a matching black leather vest, creating a cohesive look that screamed rock ‘n’ roll cowgirl. The vest, adorned with a bunch of eye-catching patches and pins, added an element of edgy sophistication to the outfit.
Of course, accessories also played a crucial role in elevating the look from simple shock value to fashion-forward statement. Knee-high black leather boots with silver studs added a touch of cowboy chic, while layered chain necklaces and multiple rings brought in Dua’s signature bling. The singer topped it all off with a wide-brimmed cowboy hat that tied the whole Texan-inspired look together.
Beauty-wise, Dua stayed true to her current era. Her deep red locks were styled in loose, effortless waves—a perfect match for the carefree vibe of her outfit. A subtle smokey eye and nude lip completed the look, allowing her bold fashion choices to take center stage.
The Instagram post offered more than just a fashion show. “AUSTIN!! I’m in your city and I can’t wait to play for you tonight!!!! @aclfestival,” Dua captioned her post, which gave fans a glimpse into her pre-show routine before performing at the Austin City Limits Festival. From sampling local BBQ, to shopping for authentic cowboy boots, the singer fully embraced the Austin experience.
As it turns out, this head-turning outfit made another appearance in a viral video that’s been making the rounds on social media. The clip featured Dua Lipa concocting an unconventional drink: Diet Coke mixed with pickle juice, jalapeños, and jalapeño sauce.
This quirky beverage choice, much like her daring ensemble, sparked divided opinions among her fans—with some all on board for this strange concoction, and others remaining completely skeptical. Either way, it seems whether she’s setting fashion trends or inventing unusual drinks, Dua Lipa always knows how to keep us on our toes.
