It's rare to see Dua Lipa take on festival fashion off stage, but whenever she does, it comes at a time when concert style inspiration is needed.

This past week, Dua Lipa has been living it up at the Sunny Hill Festival in Kosovo, jamming out in the audience and coordinating her looks with her boyfriend Callum Turner. The singer has also been using the four-day event to showcase her lewks. In her latest Instagram post recapping Night 3, Lipa paired the divisive sheer trend with one of 2024's rising It sneakers: the Puma Speedcat.

In a new photo carousel on Wednesday, July 31, Lipa was seen wearing a sheer, backless beige top from Shushu/Tong. The strappy halter top had a tiny triangle bust and black floral embellishments all over. (Sadly, her exact take on the sheer trend is sold out.)

The Radical Optimism singer styled the dainty design with a pair of baggy light-wash jeans from Celine Margaret. As for accessories, Lipa wore silver Tiffany & Co. jewelry and carried a black crescent-shaped purse from Alaïa.

The spotlight of her outfit wasn't only her sheer top—she made an even bigger statement with her shoe of choice. For the festival, Dua Lipa opted for one of her favorite kicks of the year: a pair of fiery red Puma Speedcat Og sneakers. The athleisure brand's vibrant shoes first launched in the '90s, created as a fireproof uniform staple for Formula 1 drivers.

"SUNNY HILL NIGHT 3!!!!" Lipa captioned the Instagram post.

Lipa's affinity for the Puma Speedcat sneakers runs deep—and it isn't just because she's a brand ambassador. Joining stars like Emily Ratajkowski, the "Training Season" singer has been all for taking her Speedcats—and another one of her go-to kicks, the Palermos—with her everywhere she goes, from off-duty street style to concert rehearsals.

With sporty aesthetics like TikTok's "blokecore" leading 2024 fashion trends, statement sneakers are in constant demand—bonus points if they're vintage-inspired. Puma Speedcats are quickly joining popular styles like Adidas Sambas and Onitsuka Tiger Mexico 66s, which have also gotten the A-list stamp of approval.

Dua Lipa's latest #OOTN is a quick lesson in festival fashion—and a case for the Puma Speedcats. Whether you're hitting up an end-of-season concert or basking in the last few weeks of summer, take notes from Dua Lipa's Sunny Hill festival 'fit and shop similar and affordable Puma sneakers ahead.
