Lipa’s safari style: from ibiza to the african plains

Dua Lipa and Callum Turner are redefining the concept of ‘vacation,’ swapping designer dresses for khaki and statement bags for binoculars. Their latest adventure in South Africa – a whirlwind of elephants, zebras, and undeniably chic outfits – is proving to be a serious style statement.

The pop star, known for her penchant for Jacquemus gowns and crochet swimwear, has traded the glitz of Ibiza and the cobblestones of Paris for the raw beauty of Kruger Park and Sabi Sands. But this isn't a casual safari; Lipa’s wardrobe is a deliberate fusion of high fashion and functional exploration. She’s leaning into a distinctly ‘la vacanza’ aesthetic, proving that luxury and adventure can coexist remarkably well.

Instagram reveals a series of carefully curated shots showcasing her evolving looks. One striking ensemble features a 16Arlington lace-up top paired with frayed Re/Done denim shorts, a Chrome Hearts Western belt, and those signature Tom Ford sunglasses she seems to be perpetually sporting. It’s a calculated juxtaposition – a nod to Western heritage blended with a distinctly modern sensibility.

But Lipa isn’t just about the statement pieces. She’s incorporating subtle luxury with a Bvlgari Serpenti Seduttori watch and Tubogas bracelet, alongside the trusty binoculars – essential for tracking wildlife. Later, a camel-colored baseball cap and a Loewe v-neck sweater speak to the practicality required for a safari experience, while a Ralph Lauren Polo striped shirt layered over an Oxford shirt adds a touch of relaxed Americana.

The photographer captures moments of genuine connection – Lipa posing close to a majestic elephant, a playful interaction with a zebra, and intimate portraits with her fiancé, Callum Turner. It’s a visual narrative that transcends mere travelogue; it’s a glimpse into a life lived with intention and an appreciation for the natural world. There’s an undeniable sense of awe and wonder woven throughout the imagery.

Rumors swirl of a low-key summer wedding, and, frankly, the prospect of seeing Lipa and Turner’s honeymoon wardrobe is already generating considerable buzz. Considering her established style, expect an effortlessly chic, yet undeniably luxurious, collection.
