'Dress meant for stand and slaying': Internet amused as Dua Lipa struggles to sit at Golden Globes

LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: The 2024 Golden Globes held in Beverly Hills, California, garnered attention for more than just its just its usual glitz and glamour. The event, a tribute to the best in film and television, was not without its share of uncomfortable moments.

From Jo Koy's NFL joke targeting Taylor Swift that didn't land, to Timothee Chalamet and Kylie Jenner's Golden Globes kiss, and the buzz around Selena Gomez's Golden Globes chatter, the night was about more than just accolades.

Adding to the array of memorable moments, pop icon Dua Lipa shared her own ordeal from the event.

In a candid video, the singer revealed the challenges of sitting in her stunning Golden Globes attire, highlighting the often overlooked hurdles of red carpet fashion.

Dua Lipa struggling to sit in her Golden Globes dress

On Tuesday, January 9, the 28-year-old singer of 'Dance the Night' shared a behind-the-scenes video of her attempting to sit in her dress at the annual film and TV awards show, which she was attending for the first time on Sunday.

In the humorous footage, Lipa can be seen gradually sinking into her chair while reclining at her table in the Beverly Hilton, the venue for the Globes, amidst the chatter of other guests.

Expressing her gratitude, the nominee captioned her post, "Thank you @goldenglobes for such a beautiful night last night — the only thing missing was a reclining chair."

In another snapshot shared by the artist, Lipa is seen chuckling while standing in a sprinter van, her voluminous gown posing a challenge — evidently finding humor in the predicament.

For the occasion, she donned a bespoke Haute Couture gown, a black velvet bustier piece embellished with embroidered golden bones encrusted with diamonds, a creation of Daniel Roseberry for Schiaparelli.

The sophisticated design drew inspiration from Elsa Schiaparelli’s 1938 partnership with Salvador Dalí, as revealed by stylist Lorenzo Posocco on Instagram, per People.
