Dua Lipa took the stage for her “Radical Optimism” Tour held at Rod Laver Arena today in Melbourne, Au.

The “Physical” songstress wowed the crowd in a pair of dazzling custom knee-high boots from Paris Texas. Crafted in soft suede in shades of nude and black, the boots feature a special custom-made design created specifically for her new tour. 

The crystals, meticulously applied by expert Italian artisans in a tone-on-tone style, perfectly complement the designs, making the boots unique and eye-catching showpieces. The final result seamlessly complements the outfits, creating two iconic looks. 

Plus, the comfortable 75mm heel enhances the lines while offering both ease of wear and a timeless, chic appeal.

Custom styles have become exceedingly popular for musicians while on tour. This practice allows for multiple pairs of the same silhouette to be made to the star’s specific needs and measurements. This means performers can use and abuse said silhouettes knowing that they can rely on back-ups if issues arise. Taylor Swift utilized custom footwear during her “Eras Tour.”

The “Argylle” actress paired her rhinestoned footwear with black mesh tights and a corsetted bodysuit that was reminiscent of Madonna’s Jean Paul Gaultier’s cone-bra look. Lipa’s look featured halter straps and a structural fit.

When it comes to shoes, Lipa often goes bold. The “Levitating” singer’s go-to styles are usually retro and bright, such as Mach & Mach pumps, Bottega Veneta platforms and Prada boots. However, there’s no heel too high for the musician; she’s also worn six-inch heels from brands like GCDS. For more casual ensembles, the singer can also be spotted in sneakers, slides and boots from Miu Miu, Balenciaga and Natasha Zinko.

Lipa’s “Radical Optimism Tour” began on Nov. 5, 2024, and will end on Thu, Oct 16, 2025. The Albanian singer’s third tour features songs from her third studio album of the same name. Lipa will be taking her tour to Asia, Europe, North America and the Oceania region.
