Dua Lipa showcased her jaw-dropping figure as she modelled a slew of racy Versace outfits in an Instagram tribute to the brand’s exiting boss Donatella Versace on Thursday.
The songstress, 29, who is a brand ambᴀssador and released her own Versace collection last year, looked sensational as she modelled a string of abs flashing co-ord as she reflected on her time working with the designer.
In one image Dua held her hands over her ample ᴀssets to avoid an awkward mishap while Donatella, 69, laced up her skimpy H๏τ pink metallic bustier.
The Houdini hitmaker later posed up a storm in a silver cropped jacket and matching mini skirt which she teamed with a belly chain around her tiny waist.
Dua also shared a glimpse behind the scenes from her appearance on the Versace runway and put on a very busty display in a daring cut-out black gown.
She captioned the post: ‘Noone does it like you @donatella_versace !!!!!’.

It comes after MailOnline revealed that Donatella had left her role as the boss of the fashion giant founded by her brother Gianni amid a ‘issues’ between her and the company which bought the label out in 2018.
The Italian fashionista has stood down as creative director, a job she has held since Gianni’s death in 1997 and has been replaced by Dario Vitale seven years after Capri Holdings purchased Versace.
They announced her departure on their Instagram on Thursday and revealed that the designer, who is the flamboyant face of the firm, will ᴀssume the role of chief brand ambᴀssador from April 1 – a far lesser role, say fashion observers.
‘In her new role she will dedicate herself to the support of Versace’s philanthropic and charitable endeavours and remain an advocate for the brand globally.’
Speaking of her exit, Donatella said: ‘Championing the next generation of designers has always been important to me. It’s been the greatest honour of my life to carry on my brother Gianni’s legacy. He was the true genius but I hope to have some of his spirit and tenacity.’
Sources close to both parties say that things have been ‘very difficult’ between Donatella and Capri for some time despite her being hailed as the saviour of the brand by attracting A list celebrities to wear her clothes and post about them on Instagram.
In the last year alone Taylor Swift, BeyonceOlivia Rodrigo, Sabrina Carpenter have worn the designs, as well as Anne Hathaway and Lady Gaga.
Her following consists of new talent like Lil Nas X, Taylor, Miley Cyrus, K-Pop Stars as well as Hollywood legends who she continues to work with the likes of Angelina Jolie, Sir Elton John and Cher.
She modelled blonde locks and slipped into a quirky gown which boasted the brand’s infamous belt design

A fashion insider told the Mail: ‘Versace now faces an enormous risk without her. Versace is now Donatella-less Versace and that now begs the question that without her designs and relationships with talent, who will wear the brand now?
‘She has had a huge cultural impact in the fashion world that she has even watched her own creations have a rebirth, like JLo’s green dress
‘Donatella has always been the curator of talent around Versace – she brought in Madonna, Whitney and others during the Gianni era and continues to do that to this day – truly a pop culture barometer. How many female designers have grown a company that is worth $2.1 billion dollars?
‘No one can dispute that Gianni was a genius – but also no one can dispute Donatella’s success with Versace after her brother’s pᴀssing.’
