Dua Lipa just wore one of the boldest trends of the 90s.

On Monday, the 25-year-old singer posted a series of photos with her friends and boyfriend Anwar Hadid from what appears to be a tropical retreat. In the images, Lipa looks stunning in a sexy black cutout dress paired with chunky jewelry and a visible black thong with gold hardware.

The G-string trend made its debut at Jean Paul Gaultier's spring 1997 runway show and was soon popularized by hot young stars like Christina Aguilera, Britney Spears, Christina Milian and Paris Hilton.

In recent years, the look has made a comeback: Hailey Bieber wore a pink thong at the 2019 Met Gala, Beyoncé presented a crystal version on the December 2020 cover British VogueHe and Kim Kardashian West posed for Instagram photos last year in a revealing red thong.

Hadid, 21, also posted a series of photos from the outing, including two of him hugging his girlfriend, the singer, with the caption “Family s***.”

Last week, Lipa spoke in the February issue of British Vogue.

“We have all these incredible memories and experiences and if there's something we want to share together then that's fine, that's fun,” the “Don't Start Now” singer told the outlet about posting couple moments on Instagram.

“But at the same time, we're pretty private – we only show you as much as we want you to see,” she added.

“It's a give and take. I'm trying to find the right balance between the excitement of being in love and wanting to share that with the people around me, but at the same time not giving too much away. I just want to be able to be happy in this relationship without considering other people's opinions.”
