Dua Lipa’s “Houdini” Is A Pop Masterclass – With A Slick, Stylish Video To Match

Of course, Lipa has a great sense of fashion. She even created her own collection for Versace last year. So, it's no surprise that her latest music video shows her fashion sense. Directed by Manu Cossu and filmed by André Chemetoff, the video starts in a simple dance studio with mirrors on the walls. Lipa dances with energy and her new red hair moves across her face. It's easy to see similarities to Madonna's "Hung Up" video, but Lipa always knows how to reference her inspirations perfectly.

Dua Lipa was styled by her longtime collaborator Lorenzo Posocco. She wore a Dion Lee fishnet corset top, navy Martine Rose track pants, and Puma sneakers. Her outfit captures the essence of late-night partying, which she mentioned in a release regarding the song. The song brings out the happy and carefree parts of her single life. It's playful and explores the idea of whether a person is worth her time or not. It's unpredictable and exciting, and that's what makes life fun. In the video, Dua Lipa moves past mirrors before dancers join her in a frenzy of dance. Eventually, she is left alone in the studio catching her breath, as the song reaches its conclusion.

This is evidence of Dua Lipa being a pop sensation, even without extravagant music videos with lots of money behind them. She only needs one outfit, a few dancers, and an amazing track to make her comeback to the spotlight with confidence and excitement.
