Dua Lipa walked the Met Gala carpet in Chanel confusion with a rumoured fianc¨¦, fans say 'both flopped'
Dua Lipa turned up to the Met Gala 2025 looking like a couture wedding cake explosion in a custom Chanel disaster that had the internet baffled. With 45,000 embroidered bits and a giant back bow, the look screamed ¡°bridecore meltdown.¡± Oh, and she hard-launched her rumoured fianc¨¦, Callum Turner, too.

Well netizens on X are going crazy, asking Dua Lipa to blink twice if she needs a new stylist. The Grammy winner arrived at the 2025 Met Gala not just with a Chanel dress but with what looked like an entire couture craft store glued to her body, feathers, crystals, sequins, bows¡ you name it, it was on her.
Dua Lipa trolled for her MET Gala look
Honouring the ¡°Tailored for You¡± dress code (well, trying to), Dua stepped onto the Met steps in a custom Chanel ensemble that gave more ¡°accidental bridal shop explosion¡± than high fashion. The black sequin tweed jacket? A moment. The feathered mini skirt under a sheer black chiffon overskirt? Confusing. The giant chiffon bow at the back? Straight out of a haunted Pinterest board.

About Dua Lipa¡¯s outfit
Apparently, this look took a whopping 2,000 hours to make and featured 45,000 embroidered elements¡ªbut girl, why does it feel like they stitched confusion into every thread? And the glam? Her sheer gloves and silver Chanel jewellery might have screamed elegance, but her entire silhouette just... whispered chaos.

Internet detectives were quick to point out that this was a bold departure from Dua¡¯s usual Chanel girlie aesthetic. Some fans even joked that she looked like she walked straight off the Radical Optimism tour stage and into a black-tie masquerade themed around ¡°fashion but make it confusing.¡± Let us not forget her hair¡ªslicked back into a style that did nothing to soften the already harsh elements of the outfit. Dua, this was not the tailored slay we expected.
