Dua Lipa Turns Up the Heat in Sheer Chanel at Berlinale 2026

Dua Lipa wears a sheer custom Chanel gown with Bulgari diamonds at the 2026 Berlinale premiere of Rosebud Pruning.

Dua Lipa turned up at the Rosebud Pruning premiere during the 76th Berlin International Film Festival on February 14, 2026, and suddenly the whole red carpet felt less stiff. Less predictable. More alive.

She wore a sheer black custom Chanel gown that can only be described as a naked dress with ideas. The off-the-shoulder neckline was structured in thicker, almost fuzzy embroidery, folding cleanly across her collarbone. The hem echoed that same textured finish, giving the dress weight at the bottom. In between? An open-knit crochet pattern that revealed high-waisted black briefs underneath.

It was body-hugging, but not sprayed on. The silhouette followed her frame without looking vacuum-sealed, which kept it elevated instead of veering into try-hard territory. The contrast between the dense embroidery and the airy knit gave the whole thing dimension. It felt crafted, not thrown together.

Around her neck sat a chunky Bulgari High Jewelry necklace, heavy with diamonds and impossible to ignore. She added small matching earrings, letting the necklace do most of the talking. On her feet were black patent Christian Louboutin So Kate pumps, mostly hidden beneath the textured hem, but every step revealed a sharp pointed toe flashing under the lights.

Her hair was slicked back into a tight, polished style that kept the focus on the neckline and jewelry. Makeup leaned dewy with a soft smoky eye and a deep nude lip. It read as effortless, but you could tell every detail was intentional. The overall vibe was very, “I’m not trying too hard, but yes, I know I look good.”

Standing beside her, Callum Turner went in the opposite direction. He chose a light brown Louis Vuitton suit paired with a pale shirt and champagne-toned tie. Calm. Tailored. A little roguish. The contrast worked. They didn’t match, and that was the point.

Their style dynamic feels more like two separate fashion lanes coexisting than a coordinated couple moment. Off carpet, he leans into zip-up track jackets, oversized leather, nylon pants, and 90s sneakers. She moves between sheer bridal energy, military jackets, bullet bras, and full logomania. It shouldn’t work. It does.

For a freezing February premiere in Berlin, this dress was risky. That’s what made it memorable. It wasn’t safe. It wasn’t cozy. It wasn’t trying to please the room.

It was very Dua.

And when this festival wraps, this will be one of the looks people still talk about.
