If you have upcoming summer travels, consider Lipa’s approach to vacation wear the perfect thing to pin to your sartorial mood board. She’s packed it all! Her sprightly swimwear includes bikinis that are striped or floral-printed; Her summer dresses range from sleek black-and-white Celine styles, to power-red sheer crochet maxi dresses (the latter is very Mermaid Barbie, the character she played in Greta Gerwig’s film). Even her accessories are on point. Just today, she basked in golden hour with a woven white Bottega Veneta bag on her lap; Earlier in July, she grabbed some pistachio gelato while carrying Gucci’s iconic Jackie bag.
