Dua Lipa wore Vivienne Westwood [1] head-to-toe for the 2021 BRIT Awards [2], the outfit sourced by her stylist Lorenzo Posocco [3]. But eagle-eyed fans and TikTok users will have honed in on her three-row Pearl Bas Relief Choker, which the star continued to wear following the award show, taking it from the red carpet to her London hotel room where she paired it with a white strapless satin minidress, garter tights, and platforms.
The signature Vivienne Westwood jewellery with the Orb emblem actually dates back to the early '90s, when the English fashion designer worked it onto her punk rock-meets-regal runway in all its glory. The symbol itself is reminiscent of the UK's crown jewels [4] with an outer space-inspired touch thanks to the Swarovski encrusted ring that circles it. Westwood's mini version, which retails for £110 [5], has become quite the fashion trend on TikTok [6] with users sharing their un-boxings and various layering ideas.
Dua's more enchanting version is available for £340, and is obviously worthy of the red carpet limelight. Meanwhile, the mini Orb is being resold on sites like Etsy, eBay, and Depop for less, and it's all thanks to the rising popularity of this piece that has actually been around for decades.
