Dua Lipa Wore a Chic Minidress With Knee-High Boots in Paris

Dua Lipa boarded the Eurostar at Gare du Nord, the international train station in Paris, this week with a personalized Birkin and a Chanel 25 bag—and the two accessories weren’t even the most memorable aspects of her travel outfit. Shocking, I know. That award went to her gray Coperni minidress from the French brand’s pre-fall 2025 collection and the knee-high boots she wore with it, courtesy of Chrome Hearts. Why? Well, in Paris, a minidress paired with knee-high boots is one of 2025’s most-worn ensembles, and when it’s done right, it’s also the chicest. Yes, even more chic than more talked-about French-girl pairings, like polka-dot dresses and ballet flats or vintage jeans and a button-down shirt.

Trust me, whenever I’m in Paris, which these days, is about once or twice a year, I always spot this stylish combo on particularly well-dressed Parisians, whether they’re perusing new arrivals in a vintage shop in Le Marais or sitting outside under a red awning at a locals-only bistro. The draw is that it’s a perfect day-to-night ensemble, and it works all year long, whether you wear it in the winter with wool tights and a single-breasted car coat or in the middle of summer à la Lipa.
