Dua Lipa’s Chocolate Leather Moment In Sydney? An Australian Fashion Favourite

Wearing a rich chocolate leather gown from Australian designer Christopher Esber’s Fall 2025 collection, Lipa embraced the silhouette of the season with an asymmetrical cut and fluid draping, perfectly accessorised with a simple matching leather belt featuring silver detailing. The piece, which debuted earlier this month at Paris Fashion Week, is predicted to sell out when it drops online.

With 2025’s fashion mood leaning into asymmetry and earthy palettes, Lipa once again cements her status as a trendsetter — seamlessly blending her signature futuristic edge with this year’s grounded tones. The chocolate brown hue — officially crowned Pantone’s Colour of the Year — offered a moody contrast to the effervescent energy of her pop anthems. 

Of course, the Chanel ambassador is no stranger to high fashion. The “Training Season” singer has used her tour as a runway for some of her most striking looks yet, unveiling custom creations from Balenciaga and Jean Paul Gaultier. Yet this collaboration with Esber feels exciting — a deliberate nod to Australia’s vibrant fashion scene, and perhaps a hint at more local design moments to come.
