Dua Lipa's Hip-Baring G-String Dress Is So Good It's Almost Unreal
Not to toot our own horn, but we have a tendency to predict trends before they make it big. Case in point: built-in G-strings. We covered the risque breakout trend when Emily Ratajkowski wore it in October and the following month we did a comprehensive investigation of the trend's popularity across Instagram, runways, and online shopping. Now, we have another stellar example courtesy of Dua Lipa.
She shared a series of Instagram photos of herself wearing a cutout halter dress with an ultra-low back that featured a built-in G-string. It's safe to say that it's a far cry from your average run-of-the-mill LBD. Naturally, Dua Lipa pulled off the bold look with aplomb—but did you expect anything less? Scroll down to see how she styled the trend and shop versions for yourself.

Erin got her start as a Who What Wear intern in 2011—back when the site only published a single story per day. (We have since increased that number twentyfold.) She graduated magna cum laude from USC and lives in Los Angeles. In college, she also interned at Refinery29, where she was promoted to editorial assistant and then assistant editor. After nearly three years at R29, she came back to WWW in 2015, where she is now the Associate Director of Fashion News. From the Oscars to the Met Gala, she leads the site's entire red carpet coverage strategy. She specializes in celebrity and fashion news but also enjoys writing travel features and runway reports. She frequently contributes to WWW's social accounts and has a sizable following on her personal TikTok.
