Why have a birth-day when you can make it a week? Well if it's good enough for Dua Lipa [1], it's good enough for us. The singer, who rang in her 27th birthday on 22 Aug., officially declared it a week of festivities in an Instagram post on 21 Aug. And she's certainly been serving up some incredible style inspiration.
As she partied with pals on a summer Ibiza getaway — and well-deserved break after delighting crowds on her Future Nostalgia tour [2] — she posted a series of showstopping looks [3] that have had us coveting her wardrobe. Cleverly mixing brand new pieces with vintage ensembles pulled from designer archives, Lipa proves no trend is ever off limits.
Hundreds of fans were quick to send their best wishes to the star on Instagram. British Vogue editor commented: "Happy birthday beautiful and talented @dualipa. Love you very much ❤️" and Munroe Bergdorf declared her "A Leo Queen!"
Read ahead to see Lipa's array of birthday suits that have helped her ring in her 27th year.

Wearing a tiny bra adorned with glistening crystals from Marc Jacobs autumn 22 collection [4], she channelled that Studio 54 Seventies vibe.
Not many people could pull off the microbra, created with strategically placed discs, but there's no doubt Lipa looked effortlessly glam. The "Physical" singer kept the colour palette fresh and light by teaming the silver top with a white denim maxi skirt, white soft bag, and white sky-high platform Mary Jane heels, also by Marc Jacobs. Lipa broke up the look with a black western waist belt. She later changed into a pair of white sports shorts and tied a white jacket around her waist as the night went on.
Keeping her hair long and straight in a middle parting, with simple glossy eyeshadow and neutral lip, Lipa ensured her shimmering bra top was centre stage. We know Lipa, who has recently been named the honorary ambassador of Kosovo [5], has a penchant for a sparkly bra too as she performed at the Sunny Hill Festival [6] on 4 Aug. wearing a custom Valentino by Pierpaolo Piccioli bra top and matching miniskirt.

This holiday look deserves all the attention. Lipa opted for a denim bikini complete with matching printed sarong on the day of her birthday, but if you want to get your hands on your own version, you're out of luck. The swimwear three-piece hails from Dior's Spring 2000 collection, sourced from My Runway Archive [7], an online destination of archive pieces available to rent or buy.
Captioning the post with "🦋 27 feels like heaven 🧿 thank you for the birthday wishes!!!!", it was clear Lipa has been enjoying hanging out with friends. Teaming the quirky jean print with knee-high Dior boots, orange-tinted sunglasses, and statement silver choker, her standout poolside outfit brings real Y2K vibes to the party. With her hair scraped back in a high ponytail and minimal makeup, 27 really does look good on her.

As promised, and like a true Leo [8], Lipa's celebrations continue. For the evening of her special day, she looked red hot in a vintage flame leather dress by Mugler. "pulled this dress out my vault for birthday dinner 🫀", she wrote on Instagram, hinting that she has recycled this outfit.
Allowing the maxi dress to do all the talking, Lipa kept her accessories minimal with some hoop earrings and stacked rings. The halterneck black dress, which combined flame-shaped pink and purple block panels, was paired with a pair of studded black kitten heel boots.
We know Lipa is a fan of the brand Mugler having worn a number of catsuits on tour [9] and in her music videos, so it's great to see her championing the retro designs as well. With her long hair cascading behind her back, we can't help but think this would be a great look for a glamorous witch-inspired Halloween [10] party, too.

A super sexy outfit for partying, Lipa opted for a sheer high-cut Mugler bodysuit with opaque fabric covering part of the side and chest. With a black miniskirt over the top, she captioned the set of photos with "vamosss a la fiestaaaa", which is Spanish for "Let's go to the party". One thing's for sure, she'll be the centre of the dancefloor in this look.
