Dua Lipa laces up the Black Puma Speedcat to celebrate the sneaker’s launch in Milan

Dua Lipa laced up a pair of black Puma Speedcat sneakers for a chic event in Milan, Italy celebrating the latest launch of the beloved race car inspired shoe. Lipa and Rosé from BlackPink were both tapped to star campaign for the Speedcat, which recently debuted in Las Vegas.

Lipa arrived at The Mall in Milan in a red Porsche, an entrance that paid homage to the sneaker’s origins. Paying homage to the campaign featuring the two pop stars, the event was designed to look like the Nevada desert.

Unsurprisingly, Lipa was decked out in Puma for the occasion and offered a stylish take on sportswear. She exuded an effortless sense of cool in an oversized black racing jacket with thin crisscrossing lines that formed a pattern of squares across the garment; “Puma” was emblazoned in large white letters across the front of the jacket. She wore it open, revealing a corset-style top adorned with safety pins. The “Dance the Night” singer also wore sheer black tights, offering a layer of sophistication to her ensemble.

Creating a cohesive color palette, Lipa chose the black version of the Speedcat to complement her look. The low-to-the-ground style features a leather and suede upper; a white Formstrip contrasts the black background, while gold branding offers glamorous splashes of color for style. A white Puma cat is also embroidered on the toe. One of Puma’s most iconic products, the shoe was originally designed for racing drivers and later updated and released to the public. That now sold for $100.

Several celebrities have been spotted wearing the Speedcat lately. While attending the F1 Grand Prix in Las Vegas in November, Ashley Graham styled a pair of black sneakers with a sheer top over an animal print bralette. Emily Ratajkowski was at the event in Milan after stepping out in a number of Speedcat colors for several outings this year.
