Dua Lipa Browsed a Bookstore in a Blazer and No Pants

Reading is fundamental, but pants are optional.

Dua Lipa’s new book club pick for Service95 is George Saunders’s Lincoln in the Bardo—and she made the announcement in the best way. Instead of her usual chaotic Instagram photo dumps, she shared a trio of shots that were taken in a bookstore. Yes, Lipa shared the book’s cover, but she also shared an amazing shopping ‘fit that included a bold red jacket and no pants, just a set of sheer stockings.

Lipa’s jacket featured a boxy silhouette and bright gold buttons in addition to a geometric stand-up collar and wide, double-breasted cut. The strong shoulders gave way to cropped bracelet-length sleeves and a super-cropped hem, which showed off Lipa’s sheer tights. She pulled her red hair back in a tight, sleek bun and wore gold hoops and a matching watch to finish off the bold bookstore outfit. In a Story post, Lipa explained that the jacket was vintage Mugler.

“I been waiting for the moment to wear this vintage Mugler that I got last year,” she wrote. “It’s a little big on me but i’m toooo obsessed with it.

She also gave her followers some insight into the novel, which was released in 2017.

“I loved this unique, bold, and compassionate book. At its heart, this is a story of one of the most famous men in history—President Abraham Lincoln—grieving for his dead son Willie, whose death foreshadows the hundreds of thousands of lives that are about to be lost in the American Civil War,” she captioned the images, adding a few more details to get fans excited about her pick. “There is no one writing today who can match George Saunders for compassion and empathy. The very last page still replays in my mind. The voices of these spirits—the wretched and the brave, and the dead boy Willie Lincoln—will stay with me forever.”

Lipa has picked a varied selection of books in the past, including Gabriel García Marquez’s One Hundred Years of Solitude, Tia Williams’s Seven Days in June, and Roxane Gay’s Bad Feminist, showing that she doesn’t discriminate between fiction, nonfiction, and other genres.
