Dua Lipa brought two looks to one literary day. Appearing at the London Literature Festival 2026 at the Royal Festival Hall, where she talked books with novelist Zadie Smith and poet Mustafa, the singer changed shoes and outfits between two panel discussions, WWD reported.
Lipa, a longtime friend and collaborator of Mustafa's, discussed her long reading list and Smith's 2000 debut novel, White Teeth.
Look one: Le Silla and Chanel
For the first conversation, Lipa wore Le Silla's Colette knee-high booties, a black style with sharp, knife-like pointed toes, soft polished lambskin and winding laces that recall a corset. She appeared to be in the 4.7-inch version on thin stiletto heels, which sells for $1,733 on the brand's site.
The dark boots offset a vivid red Chanel fall 2026 look in a textured fabric, trimmed with dark red faux fur at the sleeves and hips, fitted in some places and slouchy in others. Geometric studs and a slicked-back bun finished it. Le Silla is a frequent choice for Lipa, who has worn the label's Shirley and Belen sandals and Amelia pumps, along with custom pieces for her Radical Optimism tour.
Look two: Prada head to toe
Her second outfit was all Prada: a black nylon tank and matching midi skirt, worn with embroidered floral cotton socks and white satin pumps covered completely in white faux feathers. The pointed shoes have lace-up fronts held with silver hardware and short stilettos, and retail for $2,450. The feathers add texture while the laces give the look a sporty edge.
The setting suited her. Lipa runs the Service95 Book Club and met her husband, Callum Turner, through a chance encounter and a book, according to WWD.
