She's Startin': Dua Lipa Strolls Through NYC in $3,000 Pantaleggings With Attached Heels

Love 'em or hate 'em, pantaleggings have snuck their way into the fashion zeitgeist, and Dua Lipa's latest streetwear look might have just convinced us that the controversial legging-heel combo is worth a strut. While strolling through New York City on Sept. 27, the "Levitating" singer embodied Kim Kardashian at the 2021 Met Gala in a $3,000 pair of
Balenciaga Women's Naked Knife Pantaleggings in Black ($3,050). Underneath the jacket, the sleek matte spandex pants extend into a pair of black Balenciaga Knife heels. Lipa layered the skin-tight leggings (Boots? Bodysuit? Pants?) under an off-white Luar jacket with a geometrically-pieced bodice from the brand's spring 2023 ready-to-wear collection.

With the help of her stylist, Lorenzo Posocco, Lipa styled the space-age ensemble with a futuristic pair of Dior Bandage 1 Sunglasses from the spring/summer 2003 campaign for Tab Vintage and a Luar Small Ana Bag in Python Print. Lipa also added a splash of sparkle to the outfit with Eera jewelry, including a
Big Key 18-Karat White Gold Pavé Earring ($2,580), a
Tokyo 18-Karat Pavé Diamond Earring ($5,984), a
Dimitri Chain-Link Necklace ($1,380), and a
Chiara Diamond Pavé and White Gold Earring ($6,100).

At Firefly Festival in Delaware on Sept. 25, the "Cold Heart" singer doubled up on the spandex in a custom GCDS lycra catsuit. In the weeks leading up to the festival, Lipa also wore a cut-out Mugler outfit to celebrate her 27th birthday. The sheer turtleneck bodysuit featured high hip cutouts and an asymmetrical skirt.

Recently, stars like Kim Kardashian have also shown their love for the pantalegging trend. If you've ever been torn about pairing your outfit with your shoes, it looks like this two-in-one approach might be the solution.
