This year, Elton John’s traditional Oscars party underwent some alterations. Typically held in Los Angeles immediately following the Academy Awards with great fanfare, the singer opted for a pre-event in London this year, which was streamed online to support fundraising efforts for the Elton John AIDS Foundation. Dua Lipa took the stage to perform during the event, sharing a memorable moment with John himself.
For the occasion, the singer donned not one, but two striking ensembles from Balenciaga. Her initial outfit featured a partially sheer, high-necked gown adorned with sequins and fringe detailing, paired with dangling earrings and pointed white pumps. Later, she transformed into a drамаtic black velvet gown from the same fashion house, boasting a voluminous fishtail silhouette. Completing her look, Lipa accessorized with an 18K white gold ring encrusted with diamonds by Fabergé.
