There are few celebrities whose outfits I look forward to seeing quite as much as Dua Lipa’s. With a knack for taking the season’s biggest trends and giving them a playful, party-ready twist, she never fails to leave me brimming with fresh styling ideas. And this week? She delivered once again.
True to form, she took simple black trousers and elevated them with some seriously thoughtful styling choices. Whilst most of us instinctively reach for classic black boots or chunky loafers to combat winter’s chill, Lipa swerved the obvious and stepped into an underrated shoe trend that fashion editors can’t get enough of: the snake-print boot.
Using the boots to elevate her simple black trousers, Lipa then layered on a Bottega Veneta burgundy leather jacket, complete with a fuzzy shearling collar for extra drama. A quilted Chanel bag was the finishing touch, alongside her chic Khaite Nevada Leather Ankle Boots (£1370).
Sleek, statement-making and just the right amount of bold, snake-print boots have a way of adding instant personality to even the most pared-back looks. Designed to mimic the sheen and texture of a snake’s skin, this print blends neutral tones into a dynamic finish that’s surprisingly wearable and undoubtedly impactful.
Whilst snake-print boots might not be the first thing you think of when building a winter wardrobe, Lipa and I are here to confirm that they’re a timeless investment that can work with just about anything. Styling so well with simple black trousers—as elegantly proven here—the trend also works particularly well with straight-leg jeans and long dresses.
