Dua Lipa is proving once again that she’s the queen of summer. The British-Albanian pop star just shared a jaw-dropping new photo from the Italian coast and it’s giving serious mermaid energy. In the stunning seaside snap, the three-time Grammy Award-winning artist posed on a dock with crystal-clear blue waters and majestic mountains behind her, her legs stretched out as she smolders at the camera in a glittering leopard-print two-piece by Oséree.

The Animalier Two Piece ($239, currently sold out), features a sparkly stretch fabric, a halter-neck tie top and low-rise bottoms with slim side ties for a barely-there fit. Described by the brand as “lightweight, luminous and fiercely feminine,” the set is designed for sun-drenched escapes and poolside lounging alike. Lipa styled the itty bitty suit with tousled, damp hair, chunky gold cuff bangles, a stack of necklaces, bronzed, glowy skin and that signature fresh out of the ocean vibe that’s practically made for European summers.

“Somethings in the water,” the 29-year-old captioned the sultry carousel and fans couldn’t agree more. Rosie Viva commented, “Such a babe,” while one fan gushed, “Hottest person in the world.”

Just a few days prior, the “Don’t Start Now” singer showed off another standout swimsuit styled for some daytime sightseeing: a black bikini with crochet cherry details and bright green straps from the new Frankies Bikinis x Réalisation Par collab.

She wore the Nick Triangle Bikini Top ($150) and Mackenzie Bikini Bottom ($150), both of which feature skimpy coverage and adjustable string ties for a flirty, custom fit. In some pics, she paired it with a sheer sequinned Isabel Marant mini dress.

The day before, Lipa turned heads in another luxe look: the Monica Lava Bikini ($295) from Hunza G. The sleek black string set, adorned with molten silver stud detailing on the front, gave major designer swimwear energy.

Inspired by the brand’s iconic 1992 campaign, the triangle silhouette features adjustable neck and side ties and is crafted from the brand’s new “lava” fabric—a smooth Lycra alternative to their signature crinkle material.

Though she’s been taking time to unwind lately—with fiancé Callum Turner by her side, of course—the Barbie and Argylle actress is still riding high from her third studio album, Radical Optimism and its ongoing world tour. After wrapping up shows across Australia, New Zealand and parts of Europe earlier this spring, Lipa is on a brief break before resuming the next leg of her tour in mid-July.
