If you‘ve been keeping up with Dua Lipa‘s “Radical Optimism Tour”—which originally debuted on March 20 in Melbourne, Australia—you‘re more than familiar with her lustrous on-stage looks. Curated by her longtime stylist, Lorenzo Posocco, the international tour features a plethora of shiny, standout styles, like its Jean Paul Gaultier bodysuit and crystal-adorned Schiaparelli one-piece, to name a few.

As she concludes the nine-month endeavor in Latin America, Lipa’s on-stage ensembles have remained rooted in their shimmering motifs, with reflective fabrics and embellished numbers crafted by designer labels. However, as the season of giving kicks into full swing, we’ve noticed that her opulent outfits are looking extra holiday-inspired.

The perfect place to start is the artist‘s latest tour stop, in Bogotá, Colombia. During her sole performance in the South American nation, Lipa donned a silver, figure-hugging one-piece—which appeared to be the Jean Paul Gauthier number in a different shade—and a sequin-adorned crimson cut-out look with a high neck and matching gloves.

“A live show is usually divided into different moments, and that’s what gives you the number of looks” Posocco previously told Teen Vogue in May of 2025, on Lipa’s plethora of showtime sets. “I want Dua to feel extremely sexy and strong at the same time. And bringing fashion on stage is my favorite part. I‘m not a fan of costumes—I want to see fashion houses living on stage.”

Even outside of show days, however, metallics seem to be a staple in Lipa‘s wardrobe. Check out some of our favorite moments of the singer-songwriter in various metallic shades from 2025 alone.

In October

At the beginning of fall, Lipa declared to Instagram that she was “never not having fun” while wearing a V-neck mini dress with sequins sewn into its fabric. She paired the head-turning garment with chunky gold hoops of the same hue, strappy black pumps and tossed her hair into a slicked-back ponytail.

In August

During her birthday month, Lipa celebrated the occasion with a sparkly silver midi dress, curated by Giuliano Calza, Page Six reported. The three-time Grammy Award winner accessorized the number with a pair of silver arm cuffs, a handful of rings and gold drop earrings.

One month prior, the artist also brought the sheen to her swimwear, and donned a classic triangle suit with striking silver studs. Lipa added a sheer black sarong to ensemble, adorned with reflective crystals, and brought some extra glamour to the shore with lots of silver jewelry.
